She wasn't right in just reaching over, but being a mom, I understand that. You weren't right in slapping her hand and I hope you apologized for that.
Keep one or two things in mind: women generally are not predators and they certainly aren't in such situations. I suspect that even though there was no real danger of injury, your child's wails were enough to get her springing to action. Hell, she could have even been a nurse....but she should have offered help.
Having twins with me all day, I was sometimes offered help, usually by older women; one on a very rainy day even offered to stand with them in their stroller so I could get my car.(I memorized her license plate and facial features :lol)
We seem to be a parental generation of paranoia on both sides. No one wants to assist for fear of being ostracized and parents think everyone's out to harm their kids.
