What would you do in this situation?

This is real example of something that happened to me a few months back. I just want to present the situation, see what you guys would do in the situation.

Buying a present for my mother in a well known department store. I took it up to get wrapped, and had to wait in a seating area with a ticket for my turn.

When in comes a 11-14 yr old Caucasian girl, walking next to a 50-60 year old Korean guy. They sit down near me, within earshot of a quiet room.

The conversation they have is clearly awkward and it doesn't appear that they've met before.

e.g. "How do you spell your name", What part of Korea are you from? etc.

P.S. This is in London, where we've had a lot of child abuse cases in the public light recently.

Interestingly it was a few weeks after I'd had a conversation with my family in what would be sufficient for you to think something wasn't right and act, either directly or indirectly. I put the same question to the WSO community

 

My mother would probably be nosy and interrogate the little girl until she gave details about what was going on. She has no qualms about looking like a psycho in public if she has a bad feeling.

I think if you had a bad feeling in your gut about the whole thing you should call the police and stay with the two of them until police come. When the police show up you can wait on the sidelines or leave. I cant see what more you can do without turning into Dexter and breaking into his house to see if he should be castrated or not.

This. If you later learn on the news that this was what it looked like and you did nothing, it would kill you inside. If not, well, kill yourself.
