[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your kids are more likely to get shot in a school shooting or get into a car accident driving with you, than something happen to them at a sleepover.

Fear mongering at it's finest. [/quote]

I don't allow sleepovers. I was sexually abused when I was 5 by a "trusted adult", a nice, very born again Christian man, church leader.  In my experience I've never been shot at, or in an accident, but I was abused.  It's much more common than what you think. [/quote]  ... and it stings that some of you laugh it off as if it wasn't a real concern, but I'm not surprised. There are a lot of hypocrites on DCUM.  [/quote]

I don't think anyone was saying it can't happen.  But if you avoid any situation where something could happen, you will never go anywhere or do anything.  The chance of abuse happening at a sleepover is lower than many other types of "risks" we take without a second thought everyday.  That you personally have never been in an accident doesn't change that.[/quote]
