I have a three year old granddaughter who is with me three days a week, we go to parks, we throw stones into the lake, we shop together, we share hugs and ice creams, I will protect her with my life yet often I too see the 'concerned' looks and stares from people as we walk by holding hands or hugging.
The sad truth is that the predators are out there, there is little or no deterrent value in our legal system, with bail and parole being treated as a right not a privilege so perhaps one can understand some of the concerns of other parents. One has to wonder though why do people need to attach a sexual connotation to any innocent contact between loving parents, grandparents and their children.
The time between grandparents and their grandchildren is a special gift and bond so don't despair Leon, you're grandchildren will cherish these times as much we do.
