How would you react to seeing a coworker ask a child if they can “keep a secret” before sneaking them a piece of candy? Say this coworker is familiar with the child, i.e. not a stranger.
How would you feel/what would your reaction be?

My pedo alarms would be going off.
But I'd be really cautious before making that accusation, as it's a pretty grave one. There's conceivably a lot of different contexts where this could all happen and it involves nothing pedophilic.
How well do you know this person who said this? What happened after this was said? (Was anything else said? Did the kid wander off with the adult somewhere?)
Is there anyone above you on the totem pole that you trust and could approach with these concerns without suffering personal fallout?
