@LeGrotesque that's a bit old but school age can mean as young as 4 or 5 in most places. Extra context helps but perhaps they have a reason. Maybe they're gifting it to a friend?
@LeGrotesque Hell, there was an RAF fighter pilot who took his teddy bear in the plane with him every time he flew during The Battle of Britain. And re the kid you saw, perhaps he might even have some kind of emotional or developmental problem and need his toy. It's rewally none of your business.
@LeGrotesque From adults who make posts about it online, lol. 🙄 No. Maybe you need to resolve some childhood issues. Im so sorry you were bullied and unloved.
Not knowing the details but my autistic grandson always has a prop in he’s hand, it could be that type of thing, a comfort thing or a connection to home.
