[quote=Anonymous]All of the time.  it's a running joke in the family. we keep it light.  My boys are 10 and 13 and no nobody should be touching anything under their underwear from the time they started going to camps/school/sports practice, etc.  I talk about creepy adults and also no adult should be asking them to go anywhere alone, etc.

And, sorry, even though I have all boys--I would never hire a male babysitter.  I have one grown adult friend who was molested as a kid by a male teen babysitter.  So, I look at older teens/brothers as well.

I also have my 'creep' alert.  If a dad feels 'off' to me--my kids are not going to that house for a sleepover or play date.

My very muscular husband likes to show up at practices and pick up every once in awhile as well.

It's all about empowerment without scaring your kids.  My parents always told us about the weirdos out there, what to do, etc.  It made me feel stronger not more scared.  For example, no going for a run in a wooded area alone or after dark, etc.  I should be somewhere in the open I could run for help.  I can't tell you how may girls I know that ignore that rule.

Also, there was the case of the adult male drugging College Park male students when challenging them to pool at a college bar and taking them back to his place and raping them.  So, this can happen to males as well.  [/quote]
