[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]12:18 back again.

My mother never let me play with her SIL's male cousin, who used to invite SIL's daughter all the time, as they all lived close to one another on the same property - she never explained it, but I understood as a teen that she feared he might be a molester. One day during those years, I learned that the SIL's cousin in question had been booted from SIL's property and told never to come back.

I have never dared discuss this with anyone in my family. [/quote]

a good example of a parent that was paying attention.

As pp said, the key to keeping your child safe is talk to them about what is and isn't appropriate, LISTEN to your kids and if someone gives you an uneasy feeling, trust your instincts and watch them like a hawk!

When I was about 8 or 9 a stranger called our house and asked for my parents but when I was about to hand the phone over to my mom, he said he had actually called for me and proceeded to tell me in detail what he was doing to me sexually.  I tried to hang up but he told me he knew where I lived and that he'd come to my house.  When I finally did get off the phone, my mom asked who it was and when I said I didn't know, she SCREAMED at me.  Of course I was too scared to tell her what the conversation was about so I made up some story.  This is an example of what NOT to do if you want your kids to talk to you.  Oh, my mom also physically abused me, though she flat out denies it now.

Another secret that I have, I'm not sure if it really happened or if I dreamed it.  I was probably 4 and in pre-K.  At the end of the day all the kids would play in the school yard while waiting for their parents to come and pick them up.  One of the male teachers or playground supervisors cornered me and asked me if I had wet my pants (I hadn't) then he asked to see.  He lifted up my skirt and pulled down my underwear.  I don't know if he did anything else because that's all I can remember.  If it had happened, I never said anything to my parents probably because I thought I would get beaten-which happened quite frequently.

My mom once beat me with a wire hanger when I was 3 or 4 because I threw my breakfast in the trash.[/quote]
