[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t believe you aren’t getting mote responses telling you that it is very reasonable to not want your daughter to spend the night at the house of a stranger.  I would never let my child spend the night at a house if I didn’t know both parents very well, as in friends that we hang out with all the time and have gotten to know really well.  With the statistics out there about child abuse it seems that more people would want to protect their children.  Once someone is abused/molested you can’t take your decision back.  Take her to the party and meet the Dad, and then pick her up at 10:00.  [/quote]

Your knowing both parents well never tells you the full story of what goes on behind closed doors, believe me. Some of those nice people that you know well are actually horrible child molesters and abusers. The key is to have open communication with your child. Molesters know to go after kids whose parents might not notice - middle kids, kids whose parents are divorced, seriously ill parents or those working long hours. The key is to talk to your kid about what is inappropriate and tell your kid to tell you ASAP if anything like that happens.[/quote]
