[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More children are sexually abused by COACHES & FAMILY MEMBERS than at sleepovers. And I see a billion soccer threads on this sight. No one is stopping their child from playing sports or seeing family.

They estimate 33-50% of girls abused are perpetrated by FAMILY MEMBERS. It is known that molesters gravitate towards jobs where they work with children like priests or coaches.

STOP THE FEAR MONGERING WITH SLEEPOVERS.[/quote]

Why do you care so much? It doesn’t impact you at all if someone chooses not do sleepovers. You’re shrieking into the void about something that has zero effect on you. [/quote]

This is what I am wondering, as well. Why do you all care if I don’t let my kids sleep at your house? My kids are not suffering - they had a double sleepover this weekend. They had friends over Friday, and then slept over at another friend’s house last night. One set of people we have known for six years, the others I went to college with the mom (I’ve known her for 25 years, and her husband for 12). Why does it bother you that I won’t let my kid sleep at your house and I don’t even know you?

This is the real issue.  The parents that are too busy to get to know the other parents or who cannot be bothered.  If you cannot be bothered with me, I am not handing over my child as you are using mine to get out of you spending time with yours.[/quote]

I hear you. I’m not the type to tell you my kids can’t sleep at your house but yours are welcome to sleep at mine. I’m happy to hang out with new people - my kids just won’t be sleeping at your house anytime soon.[/quote]
