[quote=Anonymous][quote]OP, you don't know the woman, you don't know what the relationship is between her and the teenage girl. Heck, we don't even know if you know the girl! How about minding your own business and worrying about your own kids? If you let your kids know that they aren't to form any kind of mentoring relationship with any adult you don't know... well, it will protect your kids from predators (which I assume is your concern). However, that means that their choices are limited to talking to parents (almost never the first choice for serious conversations), kids their age (usually the first choice for serious conversations, but kids give immature advice, because... they are immature!), or school officials (last choice, nobody wants to tell a school counselor something that would get a friend or themselves kicked out or in trouble at school). So, if you kid or kid's friend is in trouble and needs advice, who is going to give that advice?

Once again, these are different scenario's, and a school counselor is a completely different situation.  The OP is minding her own business, she described a situation she saw as being odd and asked for a reality check on an anonymous board.   What is wrong with you guys.

Maybe the OP keeps an eye on her and finds out that she is innocuous or has a back story that makes sense.  On the surface, yes I too think it is weird as hell to address children you don't know.
