[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with a pP that a public performance is not as good a set up for grooming as something like a karate coach, where there is more one on one without parents, or a teacher. But the opportunity exists. Many people go to those shows regularly and the kids feel like they “know” the performer. Generally, parents who take their kids are attentive parents is the kids are not good targets. But I’m sure there are some caregivers that go because it gives them some time to surf their phone. It starts with a “sure, I can watch larla while you run to the bathroom for a sec” and progresses to “larla can stay after the show for a few if you need to run to pick up her older sister from school” to “larla is such a gifted musician—would she like to come with me to my show next week to play backup tambourine and teach dance moves to the kids in the audience?” There are some caregivers that are susceptible to this, and the crafty pedophiles know how to spot them. I’m not saying that happened with Mr Knick Knack, as no one has reported anything like that. But it’s naive to conclude that just because it’s a public performance it is not a possible vehicle for grooming.[/quote] Some parents are totally naive, especially when they’re juggling multiple kids.[/quote]
