I don’t know maybe call 911 and let the emts and paramedics transport them.  So many of these backwards sexist attitudes surprise me. The ones who were molested, but causation does not equal coorelation.

I’ve used male and female babysitters for my kids. Without question my girls prefer the males. They don’t sit on their phone. They actually engage in play and hide and seek and rough house. Zero sexual context. The boys have consistently left the house as they found it.

I find 14-15 year olds are in that sweet spot looking to earn extra money they cannot get working in other jobs. After 16, for both males and females who are driving, their outside work and social calendars take away from their time to babysit. Not everyone, of course but in general this happens.

Using a male babysitter is no more weird than a female doctor or male nurse or female pilot.

The labels that bandy about are pretty hurtful and not at all the norm. Since abuse happens statistically more often from someone known, I hope you sexist posters never let your husbands or uncles or male relatives alone with your kids ever!
