I (18M) had a very embarrassing experience earlier today.
I was at an ATM in a room with several machines, and as I was leaving, a man came in with his daughter. She wandered a bit, and he told her to come back. At the same time, another man walked past with his young son. I mistakenly assumed the first man was the father of both children. So when the little boy kept walking with his actual father, I thought he was straying, and I reacted without thinking and picked him up.
Almost immediately, I realized my mistake and put him back down. I apologized, and the father seemed to take it lightly and even laughed a bit, but I have not been able to shake the feeling since. I keep thinking about the fact that I touched someone else’s child without permission, and it makes me feel awful.
TL;DR: I accidentally snatched up a child from their parent thinking I was helping a child wondering off, I was mistaken. Nobody was harmed and the dad laughed it off but I still feel like an idiot.
