I'm called the police on a guy that I thought was a pedo who just turned out to be a father with his young girl
Why did you think he was a pedophile?
I just assumed before. I'm so disappointed and ashamed of myself for even falsely accusing him in the first place
It's great you showed such remorse on embarrassing that family so much, but you were only looking out for the little girl. Sadly, it has to be done as lots of men are creepy and might groom or kidnap young girls. It's better to be safe than sorry.
I know and thank you for saying it but I feel so bad about this and I don't know what I was thinking. I assumed he was out to get young girls when in fact he was just sitting there with his young daughter.
I am glad that you are having a remorse of what you did. Next time, probably you can try to ask the child if they know the person you are suspecting of doing something illegal so that you will be more assured of the situation and can decide better on what to do next.
