[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's so sad to hear about how many of us were sexually abused as children.[/quote]

Almost universally by family members, I noticed. Whenever people get up in arms up about "stranger danger" and the possibility that posting pictures of one's children on facebook will enflame the pedophiles, I just want to scream at them. It's almost guaranteed that the perpetrator of eventual abuse of your kids is ALREADY in your life. Parents should look at the facts, and focus their energies in the right place. [/quote]

I've posted in other threads about how no other male, except for DH and Grandpa will every be alone with DD.  Sorry, I just don't care.  The other males in the family can have a relationship with my DD when we're around, but it's just not going to happen.  I've been flamed for that point of view, but maybe after reading this thread, people will understand why.  [/quote]

I might understand why, with one modification: no male INCLUDING DH and Grandpa will be allowed access. You would do far better to be observant and rational, than to be issue blanket prohibitions that are riddled with holes. This thread is FULL of stories of fathers and grandfathers being the perpetrators of abuse. And a few mothers, sisters and aunts, too. 
I have random cousins I would trust more than my own father with my child. Grandpa doesn't get a pass because he's grandpa. It's about knowing who's around, and paying attention. [/quote]
