>I handed my 2 week old baby over to a homeless guy on the street who wanted to hold him and that worked out well.

And if he had been on bathsalts? Had hepatitis? 

>I don't feel naive, just content with how I see people.

THe "content with how you see people" is the thing. I didn't call you naive.  You might have enough experience to judge the situation, many do not. I back myself and have travelled in some hairy situations too. I don't recommend it for everyone though. 

>So sorry you have trouble with STEEMers. 

I have no trouble here, I just don't live in any kind of illusion of the kinds of people that are here. 

Unfortunately, I won't make it to SteemFest this year though which is a pity, as I would love to catch up ith some of the people I met last year and meet the new. Have fun.

I trusted he did not. I turned out to be right. Or if he had either of those troubles, they did not present themselves.

I feel lucky to have my accounting education and experience so I did learn how to judge people. But prior to that, I was a teenage runaway for years, and still found most people to be trustworthy and helpful. 

What kind of people do you think are on STEEM? Different that the "real" world? 

I hope I will have fun at STEEMFest and plan to. It will be my first, but I already know a number of people coming, so it will be  reunion is some ways.

If something had happened to your son, would you blame yourself? What if it affected him for the rest of his life? 

Lots of different types of people on Steem

My obesity, poor health, and many near death experiences during his childhood has caused my son's severe ptsd. If I regret anything, it is that I was not able to regain my health until he was in his late teens by which time, the damage I did not see coming was already done.

Since then, he has lost no less than 15 of his close childhood friends from our small rich beach town. They have been lost to suicides, car wrecks, drug overdoses, medical malpractice, and other horrifying and tragic means. 

One thing he has thanked me for more than once is that I taught him not to be afraid of strangers. He is out on the streets now in San Diego at the ago of 26, (not on drugs or drinking). I know his ability to trust others regardless of what type they are helps him get through each difficult day.
