[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the people who say that the odds are that a child isn't going to be molested when unaccompanied in a locker room. The odds are that you can swim in an outdoor pool while holding a metal rod in your hands and not be struck by lightning. The odds are that you can drive your car without wearing your seat belt and still live. The odds are you can ride a motorcycle without wearing a helmet and still live. But would you really want to do those things? Better safe than sorry! [/quote]

To evaluate risk you need to understand how likely something is. You, or another pp, keep saying there is a 1 in 100 chance of a kid changing in the men's room being molested.  In 2011 there were 26 people who died being struck by lightening. There were no reports of kids molested while changing in pool locker rooms while their moms waited outside. [/quote]

How do you know that there weren't any cases of a child being molested while a mother waited outside? Really, how do you know that? Are you God? Fact, you don't know that. Also a fact, there have indeed been cases of children being molested or killed while a mother waited outside. Don't believe that? Look it up. It's been reported on reputable news shows.

But some of you think it's preferable that a child be harmed than to have the child see your daughters "boobies" for a second. [b]Because we all know how harmful it is to see a pair of breasts. [/b]  :roll:

Maybe there are some Jerry Sandusky's lurking on here that want to make sure that little boys are still sent into men's locker rooms?[/quote]

So you'd be fine if you were forced to get naked in front of your male coworkers and let them stare because they're just curious?

And again, it's not all about your kid.  I don't think your kid will be harmed by seeing my naked daughter.  I think my daughter will be harmed!  Your son doesn't get to violate my daughter. Follow the damn rules.[/quote]

There's no comparison between me being nude in front of a man that's not my husband when there's no reason or benefit to be, and anyone of any age being briefly seen by a small child in the name of protecting that child. If (And this is ridiculous) my child would be safe because I was nude in front of a man other than my husband, then you damn well bet that I'd be willing to be seen nude by that man.

My daughters are nude in that very same locker room that my son is in. And it wouldn't bother me at all if another woman brought her little boy into the locker room while my daughters were showering or changing. And it wouldn't bother them either.

Do you not take your children to the doctor because she or he may be embarrassed by being seen nude by the doctor?

Trust me, your daughter would not be HARMED by a little boy seeing her nude in the locker room. She may not like it, but she would NOT be HARMED by it. And like I said, my son does NOT stare at anyone when he's in the locker room with us. Many of you keep saying what if a little boy saw one of his female classmates nude while he was in the locker room. Well, that already happened with my son and one of the little girls from his class last year, and her mother, and it wasn't an issue for any of us involved. My son, daughters and myself all stood there showering and talking to the little girl and her mom, and no one cared at all.

[b]I'm done talking about this[/b].[/quote]

That's a shame. Because you haven't explained why you refuse to pick a course of action that protects your son AND other people's daughters, like having your son change at home or in the car, waiting until your DH can come with, or choosing pools with family changing rooms.  Care to explain before you storm off in a huff?[/quote]

Of course she won't explain, PP.  That's because she's all about herself and what is good for her family and convenient for her.  There is no reason her little boy can't wait until her gets home to change.  He doesn't need to be in the girls' room.[/quote]
