[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She is 11 and very very pretty. We get compliments all the time and she has been asked to model on about 15 different occaisions. 
HOWEVER, she is not the brightest child, gullible and so on. She is also a bit inarticulate. Unfortunately, very friendly.

I have told her repeatedly to stay away from the workmen in the neighborhood. Just yesterday, she rushed out to greet a man who was coming to give me an estimate. She did not know him or why he was there. Then she kept hanging around as I spoke to him. I asked her to get lost a few times, but she kept coming back.

In comparison to her friends, she is much more flakey and easily influenced. She could easily give a nut pedophile the impression taht she wants to "do it" with her friendly almost seductive face.

I have spoken to her explicitly. Yes, told her about the abduction, rape, murder thing. She gets nervous for two minutes then seems to forget what I said.

HELP! My mother says that I have to treat her like a 5 year old for much longer because she has to be really watched. [/quote]

Rapists...murderers...those are boogeymen to an 11 year-old.  Fictional phantoms devised by dear Mommy to frighten her into behaving better.  Instead of stressing the boogeymen, which to your daughter probably don't seem real, why not stress something she does indeed know is very much real - MOMMY.  It wasn't the fear of some boogeyman that kept me from wandering into people's backyards or deterred me from riding my bike past the stop sign on my block...it was the fear of my mother!!  Mommy was real.  Mommy wasn't some spooky story.  Mommy could put a hurting on me.  So I did what the hell I was told not cause I was afraid of some boogeyman, I was afraid of mommy!!

Next time she goes running out to meet some stranger coming up to the house don't pull her aside and try to drill in her head the infinite dangers that lurk behind the smiles of strangers...that ain't even necessary.  Instead of going through all that the next time she goes running out to meet some stranger coming up to the house just snatch her ass up and show her what you will do if she does that shit again!!  I bet you she'll stay her ass put next time.  Shit the police could come knocking and she won't answer the door lol.  [/quote]
