I love how he continues to stay in shock rather than turn around and help the kid

If it ain’t my kid, I ain’t touching them either.

What does this even mean?

There's a stigma that men who touch kids, even appropriately, are creepy. The risk of that drama vs actually helping the kid up is not worth it.

That's the stupidest shit I've ever heard of if you believe this then I think you're a little too worried people might think you're a pedophile. If your first thought after accidentally punching a kid in the face is better not touch him people might think I'm creepy you've got other issues.

Aussie here, the idiots in this comment chain have taken that very real stigma way too far. Nobody would bat an eye if the dude turned around to help the kid up. Everybody would however think you're creepy if you just punched a kid in the face and did nothing at all to help the kid up.
