Has the supposed threat of stranger danger really gotten that bad in this country?

Case in point, about 10 minutes ago I was unloading some furniture from my truck into the storage building. A young teen girl and two young children were walking down the road and the teen said “Hi” as I lifted a heavy TV stand. Slightly strained from the effort I said Hi back. Today, in the MOV, it is raining. As I came back out, I offered the three of them a ride. They were soaked and I just wanted to help, because I live more or less in the middle of nowhere. The teen declined. I can understand, I know how I was raised, but Stranger Danger isn’t real!

I genuinely just wanted to help someone, and for completely altruistic reasons, but I guess in some cases that is not allowed.
