[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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 [b]kids are educated as to the dangers[/b]. [/quote]

Great advice, but how do you help your child if they are being molested [i]while[/i][b] they are at the sleepover?[/quote]

Gosh, well I guess she's just well buggered then. If only her parent weren't so concerned with looking with it and trendy, their daughter might not have seen Mr. Finnegan's member when he unexpectedly came in while she was showering and took a quick wee. It happens. Because yes she knows Mr. Finnegan! He coaches her brother's soccer team, by jove! And it's his bathroom, he'll have wee in, tween girl in the shower not withstanding![/quote]
