[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really was uncomfortable when my DD had a playdate in middle school and I found out that the single mom's boyfriend was at home during the playdate.  I don't mind single moms.  I do mind boyfriends.[/quote]

And this is different than a day or stepdad how??? Does signing a piece of paper magically make someone less likely to sexually assault someone? Do you just not like unrelated men around your child? How about male teachers??[/quote]

Yes.

Mom's boyfriend being around is the single biggest risk factor for child molestation and abuse.[/quote]

Actual statistics from a reputable source, please.[/quote]

How do you not know the risks?  They are well documented.

Children around a live in boyfriend are up to 20 times more likely to be abused than those who do not have a luve in boyfriend around:

The risks increase slightly with a step parent, but significantly with a live in boyfriend:

This is misleading. The PP suggested that she did not mind single moms, but she did mind a live-in boy friend. So that is the true comparison, not "single mom with a live-in boyfriend" vs kids living with parents.
The study was showing:

"Children living without either parent (foster children) are 10 times more likely to be sexually abused
than children that live with both biological parents. Children who live with a single parent that has a
live-in partner are at the highest risk; they are 20 times more likely to be victims of child sexual abuse
than children living with both biological parents."

This means, kids with a single parent that has a live-in partner  is only twice more likely  to be sexually abused than kids living without either parent.

You lack comprehension.

"Without either parent" means foster kids NOT single parents.

Foster kids are 10 times more likely to be sexually abused than kids in intact homes.

Kids living with mom her live in boyfriend are TWENTY times more likely to be sexually abused than kids living in intact home and [b]twice as likely to be abused as [i]kids in foster homes[/i][/b][/quote]
