Okay, In this day and age, with all the wierdos and pervs it is a hard call.
I would suggest to the guy that he find an employee, female that can take his daughter to the bathroom.
However I would give him a break, if all he is doing is going to the womens bathroom for his daughter to use it then I wouldn't worry to much.
These days I would not allow my son to go into the bathroom by themselves because you never know and you hear all sorts of horror stories.
Maybe suggest that he open the door and holler out that he needs to bring his girl into the bathroom and give everyone time to get out and have a women posted at the bathroom door to stop others from entering for the short time the daughter needs to use the bathroom.
I think that people need to understand he doesn't want his daughter in the mens bathroom because she doesn't need to see any of that stuff either.
However he can find a manager or something in the store to help in the matter, so that all the other women and customers aren't affended.
good luck

A woman will breast feed in public with a showy gesture to make sure she complain about peoples discomfort.
What about a childs discomfort being taken to a male rest room. A male restroom is open to view so not the right place for a female child.
Female restrooms are not open, all actions are behind closed doors so what would he gain?
If there is a genuine reason to consider this as an excuse just to enter the ladies restroom then I agree it should be tackled by authority and dealt with.
I bet most of you would complain if your 3 year old daughter started talking about what they saw when they had to go to toilet cos daddy took them to see the men.
What a world we live in!

I sort of agree, but I disagree. If he is with his wife, then yes, his wife should take the daughter to the restroom. If there is a bathroom for both sexes to enter then he should do that (there usually isn't though, at least not where I live).
But I"m not sure he really wants to take his daughter into a men's restroom. Because sometimes you can see things-- from what I hear. I'm not a man, I only know what my fiancee tells me, and sometimes i make assumptions. If you see him again, ever, then why not ask him to ask if everyone in the ladies room is decent. (he could send another lady in to ask-- I'd be glad to help out a man with a child, most women would too! Or he could crack the door and holler in--that'd be slighty odd though.)

Are you completely sure he brings this child in as an excuse? That's not child welfare time, that's police time. However, if you are not sure, I have to assume he's just a decent parent protecting his daughter and in that case, i don't know why this bothers you.
Do you really do anything outside the stall? I've never seen anything happen outside a stall in my 45 years of using a restroom.
What do you really expect this man to do - allow his 3 year old to go in to a public restroom alone. That's sick and wrong and something that would need to be reported to social services.
I took my sons into women's restrooms for a very long time. Fortunately, they had long hair, which helped eliminate a lot of angry women, I think (see how silly people are.) No way on god's wicked earth would I send my little son alone into a restroom. I know of several newsstories off the top of my head of little children murdered alone in restrooms.
I really can't imagine what, besides the strange prudishness that makes people angry about babies nursing in public, would bother someone about the man bringing his child into a restroom.

Tricky situation. It'd be far worse for the daughter if she was being taken into the mens room.
I heard about a case in Australia where a girl was raped & murdered in a public bathroom, her uncle & brother were waiting outside. So if I were this man, I wouldn't want my daughter going in alone.
I think this question shows the need for family bathrooms in public places, because if I were a female in the bathroom, yes I'd feel uncomfortable, but what other options does this guy have?!?

We recently went to a theme park and my 5 year old was with my Brother in Law (who has a 7 year old daughter) and she asked him to take her to the restroom. He obliged and when he got to the bathroom he stopped by the door and said he would wait there for her. She froze and almost started crying and told him that I always help her put the cover on the seat, she can't reach. We were quite a distance away and he did what he had to do, he averted his eyes from the women and took her in, helped her and they left. You never know the story that goes along with. If it appears innocent enough, it probably is. Plus, MEN'S BATHROOMS ARE NASTY! Try to aim guys! Maybe next time you could offer to help his daughter if he looks uncomfortable as he probably was every bit as much as you. Take care.

Whats so wrong about a guy going to the ladies. People are getting too frigid these days. Come on, what if he sees a bit of p****? The fact that hes got a little girl in tow means hes OK. You only worry if he grabs your **** or stuff like that. Jeez, you lot need to see a shrink fast. I'm sure his wife is better looking than you lot.And mr Bill.

If he's a single parent, or not with his partner when his daughter needs to go what else can he do when the child needs to use the bathroom? He can't really take her into the mens room. But if you feel he has ulterior motives, that might be a different story.

It seems wrong when you first think about it. Then again, think about the men's restroom. Would you REALLY want your 3-year old daughter going into a men's room? It's not like he could see anything in the women's restroom anyway. Women use stalls.

It doesn't bother me when a male ask if everyone is decent in the lady's room and lets everyone know prior he is entering for his young child.
Most males I see take their daughter in the male's room. However, I have seen them take in the lady's room or wait outside the door.
