I think its pretty far fetched that at a public pool area with dozens of other people around a child could get away with saying an adult put hands on them when that is not the case. I don't think we need to live our lives worried about what someone might say. anyone could accuse me of anything at any time. Doesn't mean its credible.
I think it's definitely worth the chance of stepping in if the child's behavior is putting others at risk. I would feel pretty rotten if I sat there and did nothing and another child got seriously hurt.
It's not far fetched. And adults should be concerned about being falsely accused of things. The original poster threatened them that they are done there, raised his voice towards them, etc. As much as he has every right to be concerned that his young child could get hurt or that the kids aren't even supposed to be in there, it's not his private pool and you don't control what happens there with other people's kids. You can remove yours if you feel the risk is great and get a staff member in the meantime. All it would take is one of those kids getting too close to his young child and him stepping in to prevent an injury to his young child, that a stranger's child could perceive or say something even untrue about how his hands wound up on them (in protecting his own child). Yes, when it comes to other's kids, even in a public setting, it's best to stay back and let the proper channels handle bad behavior. And while an accusation does not mean it's credible, who wants to even chance that? Especially on vacation?? I guess you might. No way for me. I would stay far back and get a staff member to handle it, to keep things as hassle free as possible.
