[quote=Anonymous][quote]The likelihood that someone is going to do something horrible to your snowflake while you are waiting outside the lockerroom is slim to none. You are scaring yourself to death over nothing and turning your children into dependent little freaks.[/quote]

In that case do you send your five year old into a public rest room alone? I assume you must do.

I'm actually not to concerned about him being alone in a rest room except that I know that an adult would likely give me a dressing down for letting him go in alone. But I am concerned about locker rooms.  It is well known that they are targets for abusers.  Sure the risks are still low, but they are there and they are certainly not tiny.  More real are the risks of bullying or being targeted by teens who seem to hang out unsupervised. No thanks.  My five year old is staying with me. It's not my problem that you are a prude, really it's not.

For context, I'm somebody who generally thinks parents are overprotective.  If I'm uncomfortable with my child changing alone and unsupervised around naked strangers then so would virtually everyone in America.[/quote]
