Ah yes, that's true.
Just like people would be afraid to take car of a child lost at the airport because someone could accuse them of being pedos.
But well, that's happening only in America, Europe is much different when it comes to lawsuits etc, although an individualized society is characteristic for most of the modern world nowadays.
