[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]American.  I grew up Catholic and went to Catholic schools from K-12.  Yes, sleepovers were pretty much the norm.  I don't recall anyone from my schools not being allowed to participate.  And they were so much fun!

I agree with PP that, statistically speaking, a child is more likely to be molested by a relative.  [/quote]

I grew up Catholic and Catholic schools k-12, as well.  Sleepovers were absolutely the norm.  That said, I think my mom let me go to sleepovers way too young with families that she did not know well enough.  I actually was fondled by a high school aged brother of a friend at a sleepover in the second grade.  I didn't even know this girl had a high school aged brother and I'm quite certain my parents didn't either.  I never said anything.  But, I didn't do anymore sleepovers with that family.

My daughter does do sleep overs but with family or friends that are like family.

All of that being said, it's still never a guarantee.  Our above rule is no guarantee.  I also had an uncle who -while he never molested me- was very, very inappropriate.  The only answer is to be on guard all the time, ask questions, and make sure your kids are educated as to the dangers. [/quote]
