“The adults making excuses for kids running up to other kids asking/begging/demanding they share their toys with them, are the problem,” wrote one. “Kids are allowed to bring their toys to the park. Kids don't have to share with other kids. Kids shouldn't expect everyone to share everything with them. To think otherwise is wrong.

“Siblings are taught to share with each other, and not always or everything. Some of ya'll think it's OK to demand things of others, but it's not. People owe you respect, not use of their things. The sooner children learn this, the better. Hopefully some adults learn this lesson, as well. You should not covet what others have; work and get what you want.”
