[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a PSA to my people (1st gen South Asian immigrants), who are quite clueless about American society.  No, no, no - the typical American family (all races) are not like your neighborhood aunties and uncles in Indian cities.  You need to do your due diligence before sending your kid for a sleepover.  My red flags were -
1) Any sex offender lives in the sleepover house address or nearby.
2) Any court cases on that parent listed online
3) The father is a step-parent or there are step-children in the family
4) Mother is living with her boyfriend
5) There is a gun in the house (Yes, you have to ask that question)
6) There is a pitbull or other aggressive dog in the family
7) Elder brother or cousins living in the house and are not respectful. 
8) Parents are permissive, allow booze, vaping etc.
9) There is a danger that your kid will be videotaped or will be encouraged to sext during the sleepover.

Actually, it is better not to do sleepover.  Do a half-sleepover and pick up your kid at midnight. Other alternative is that you host all the sleepovers. [/quote]

1-9 are just common sense. You don’t need to be first gen Indian to have these  ideas about safety. [/quote]

You have issues with all families that are divorced and remarried? I don’t understand the step father or step children concern.   [/quote]
