[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a biological fact that teenage boys mature more slowly than teenage girls, and  are statistically far more prone to commit violence or sexual abuse. Even most extremely liberal parents are highly unlikely to select a teenage boy over a teenage girl if selecting an anonymous babysitter. If your son truly wants to find babysitting gigs he needs to find a way to forge these connections in advance to prove himself and not rely on replying to random postings.[/quote]

This. I hate it when we all have to pretend crime statistics aren’t real or that it’s somehow bigoted to be aware of them and let them factor into your decision making. Men commit 99% of sexual violence. It’s not rational to have a male in charge of your children when it’s equally easy to find a female. It blows my mind this isn’t obvious to people.

Plus I’d never trust a teen with a child under age 10, regardless of sex.[/quote]

Once again you misunderstand the real life impact of statistics. Women are statistically more likely to commit violence against a child yet we don’t judge all women as inherently suspicious. [/quote]

This is a thread about male babysitters. If male babysitters, who are very rare, were more likely to commit crimes against the children they care for, that would be shocking indeed. So I think you’re the one who doesn’t quite grasp statistics. [/quote]
