[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My family just experienced this too! I have a 10 year old daughter. She has been invited to birthday sleepovers by people I don't really know and neither of us have been to each other's homes. 
She was also invited by another mother/daughter from our school to stay the entire weekend 3 hours away at their beach house!  Keep in mind that we didn't "know" much about these two different families! I politely declined and I told both mothers that I [b]do not allow my child to stay overnight with ANYONE until we know a lot about them such as what they allow in their household.[/b] I told them it was nothing personal but [b]I have two siblings that were molested by "friends of the family[/b]".  I know most people won't understand your reasoning but as parents, we must protect our children, no matter how much we may be ridiculed![/quote]

Bold 1 makes sense but doesn't protect against Bold 2.

"We molest houseguests" isn't something parents/siblings tell you after a few visits and conversations. [/quote]
