[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From the stories that of pedophiles I’ve heard, there is no amount of knowing them that will make a difference. People are always fooled by them.  Like the prominent man of Falls a church City that molested his daughter’s friends at sleepovers. I believe his wife was a former mayor of the city.

OP, you can never be certain.  Teach your daughter how to speak up and let her have fun with her friends.  Or keep her home if that feels better for you.  Know that she will miss out on lots of good times and memories with friends, though.[/quote]

Yep, wife was former mayor and he was head of Falls Church democrats.

I posted before, but will also mention a good friend of mine lost her virginity consensually (but both were underage so may not be legal) on a sleepover at age 15 with the brother of her friend. Is the brother a predator? No. Could he be considered a predator by today's standards? Absolutely. We live in a messy world. People seem to think if you arm your daughter to just say "no" everything is totally fine. What if she consents? Heck, what if she doesn't? Good luck proving this stuff. It's still traumatic when someone tries and you say no. These are kids. I don't think I gained anything going to slumber parties as a kid. P)laying with other kids is beneficial. Slumber parties are just full of doing stupid things and feeling so sick the next day from the food and the lack of sleep. [/quote]
