[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As long as you know the family and the kid, I don't see why you wouldn't allow it.  I'm less comfortable with large-group sleepovers than one-on-one, which I generally think are fine.  I agree with the PP that said the sleep deprivation of the kid and cranky attitude the next day make sleepovers unappealing to me, but I don't disallow them except when we have other things going on that will be severely impacted by my kid being super tired.  Also, I do limit how often.[/quote]

You never really know what goes on behind closed doors.  Everyone worries about the men but women are equally abusive.  I worked in child welfare for many years.  Seen too much.

Once again, there are more chance for a child predators in school, than a friend's home.  Are you homeschooling too?[/quote]

Why do you think this?  From everything I've seen, the stats are exactly the opposite.  There's way more chance something happens in a friend's home (or a relative's home).[/quote]

NP here. Predators have been found in schools (FCPS and other school systems). Read the news and open your eyes. [/quote]

MCPS has handfuls every year too.  So do day camps.  So do daycares.  So do Churches and youth centers.  So do youth sport's coaches.  So do grandparents, aunts, brothers, etc....  How do you avoid all of these "what if" situations?
