Recently I met my family at a restaurant for a dinner break. (I was in uniform.) Seated near us was a family with two small children. The boy didn't want to eat something on his plate, so his mother said, "If you don't eat that, I'm going to have that policeman over there take you to jail, and you'll never see us again!" Abby, that child looked at me with fearful eyes, and I felt like a bogyman. Another time, my partner and I were doing foot patrol through a shopping mall. We saw a mother with a whining child.

As we approached, she told the child, "See," I told you that they would come for you!" This caused the child to cry harder and louder. Teen-agers hate us as it is we don't need the younger ones distrustful of us, also. No Bogyman Dear No Bogyman: I've commented before on the importance of letting children know that the police are their friends. Parents: When a child is lost or has been harmed, that child should be able to put his trust in a policeman or policewoman. Underweight people have feelings, too Dear Abby: No one would go up to an overweight woman and say: "Gee, you're fat! You look terrible; why don't you go on a diet?" Yet, people feel free to give me similarly insensitive treatment all the time.

It happened again today. You see, Abby, I am 10 pounds underweight. Since I'm short, I appear to be very thin. I am not anorexic. I am not bulimic.

I am just skinny. It is no easier for me to gain weight than it is for people to lose weight. Believe me, I've tried. I get very tired of being told I look like a skeleton and need to put weight counterparts? Slim And Satisfied Dear Slim: Overweight people have always been discriminated against. Fat people are ridiculed, while thin people are envied.

A comment on a person's thinness is considered a compliment. A comment on a person's obesity is considered an insult. Readers: Send your problems to Abby, P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, Calif. 90069.
