“Everyone is really good inside.” is a very bad way to raise children. No clue how she was raised, but I see too many parents raising their children to trust everyone. Maybe he somehow got her to feel sorry for him. No clue why she thought he was trustworthy, and it was safe to be alone with him.
So many girls are getting raped and taken advantage of. I think most simply don’t tell their parents because it’s too painful.
Of course it’s easier to scream it’s HIS fault, which is ABSOLUTELY true, but your daughter is still the one who gets raped. No parent wants that!!!!!
Tell your daughter not to allow herself to ever be alone and secluded with a boy/man that you don’t know.
Girls are growing up very naive with regard to their personal safety. This has to change. They’re extremely vulnerable during their teens and 20’s, wanting to feel like an adult. Show them how *you* take precautions to protect your safety, and don’t drink and drive. Tell them NOT to drink at all with guys who may turn evil, and take advantage of them.
Who is raising their kids like this? I teach my teen to travel in groups/with a buddy, be aware of her surroundings, stranger danger (especially leering men), etc. I don't think I'm outside of the norm.
