[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She seemed very comfortable getting physically close with a male she had not really been around before. It just illustrates that in a different environment, what if she did that innocently with a different stranger and were harmed? how do you empower them so certain kids that have certain outgoing, cuddly, warm and social personalities aren’t taken advantage of by sick people.

But honestly? That is one small, minor illustration in a much bigger point I’m making in seeking general info for ALL parents. No one really talks about it just the horrors of an aftermath..

That one point is NOT the focus of my post so I don’t want this thread to derail to a discussion focused on that small piece.[/quote]

I once went to a relative's house, where mutual cousins were visiting.  I'd been seeing the kids grow up via Facebook, but we'd never met before. The kids were 3, 6, and 9. When the relative asked me to walk the dog, the 9 yr old came running and asked if she could come with me.  I said if it's okay with your mom, yes.  She ran off to get permission.  Off we went for a walk around a neighborhood in a city she'd never been to before.  Nobody blinked. I did the right thing. There's nothing wrong with your DD trusting someone introduced to her as a family member. She didn't go off into a bathroom to take a bath with an older male cousin. She just sat in his lap. You probably made that cousin feel like shit.  [/quote]

Why are you so rude? I didn’t say how I redirected her - nor what I did. Nor did I give any context. You’ve created an entire false narrative in your head, based on your experience, and a few incorrect assumptions. That said, since that tidbit isn’t the focus, and I already have helpful info, i won’t discuss that any further. The other suggestions I pretty much follow already.[/quote]

I wasn't rude. I was blunt.  You feel guilty, which is why you are calling me rude and defending yourself. [/quote]
