I don't know. I would think there would be some sort of viable alternative to this. Maybe take the kid into the bathroom but leave him outside the stall. Ask a staff member to watch him when you go in.

I think this inherent fear and paranoia regarding child abduction is somewhat out of control. I've talked to parents who won't even let there kids go to the playground with friends and without parental supervision based on the belief that their kid is going to get abducted. These are also the parents that think pedophiles are lurking around every corner and that kids are being abducted every 30 seconds, despite facts that cases of child abduction continue to decline from what they were even 20 years ago.
