Yup title says it all.

I take the bus to visit my boyfriend on the weekends and it’s usually about a 3 hour ride.

Diagonally from me was sitting a guy and a small girl – about 7 years old.

He kept kissing her on the cheek and lips and stroking her hair telling her how pretty she was.

At one point, he took out a thermos and let her take a sip of something in it.

The guy looked really creepy and nervous the whole time like he kept turning his head around and looking at people.

It final dawned on me that the guy might be a pedophile grooming a child for sexual abuse and then I started freaking out about what might be in the thermos.

I went to the back of the bus and into the back room (which was filthy BTW) and called 911 to report a suspicious man and young girl.

About 10m later, the bus gets pulled off by three SUV cop cars who stormed on to the bus and yelled at the man to put his hands up and not make a move.

A female cop handed the girl a teddy bear and carried her off the bus.

The cops escorted him off the bus after putting him in handcuffs “for everyone’s safety” and talked to him outside.

They ordered the bus to remain where it was in case they needed to interview witnessed or have his luggage pulled off for inspection.

It turns out that after tearing apart his luggage and probably calling his wife or someone to confirm that he was the father, they let him back on the bus.

No one knew it was me that called but the entire time I was blushing and shaking like oh fuck did I do the right thing.

The father and daughter got back on the bus and we headed towards the destination. The daughter was quiet the entire time and I overheard the father tell her to sit down and be quiet and no more play time.

I felt like a dumbass but not only that I pissed off about 40 angry people who were late to their destination.

TL;DR: I called the cops on a potential pedo and it turned out that he was just a father with his young daughter. Better safe than sorry I guess?

So am I the asshole?
