[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you need to decide what you think is safe and not safe for her and then enforce those guidelines the same way you enforce (or incentivize) other rules in your house. She's 11, she really doesn't need to know the horrific things that can happen to people -- she doesn't have the context to understand how violating rape would be, anyway.  Just be consistent.  Talking back = loss of privileges. Shoplifting a candy bar = loss of privileges.  Talking to a stranger = loss of privileges.

You also need to be clear about what a "stranger" is -- is the contractor really a "stranger" when you are present and let him into your house?  I am not sure why it is not safe for her to hang around you and a contractor when you are present.  Or to answer the door when you are home.  But whatever, you need to figure out the RULE, explain it to her, and enforce it.

If she has social boundary issues, then maybe outside counseling.  [/quote]

SHE did not know him. I guy shows up with his truck and walks into your yard and you are a kid, you should just get the parent. So that is why I was upset. 
I agree that the boundary thing might be a problem. She has a funny way of getting phyically too close at times. Craves attention. A set up. [/quote]
