[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a former prosecutor it always chills me how easily some parents send their kids - especially girls - to sleep in a home with a man they barely know. Even teen boys can be predators, think of the girl raped and murdered by her own stepbrother.

Sleepovers at my house only.[/quote]

A former prosecutor should be more thoughtful than to make comments suggesting that little girls are inherently more at risk for SA than boys. Or that boys are not abused by women. Or that predators do not always fit a stereotypical profile and that letting your guard down based on gender or marital status is not a great way to protect your kids.

In fact, I have to question if you were actually a prosecutor at all. If you were then I guess that explains the dismal state of our justice system these days. [/quote]

I'm not a prosecutor but... girls are at higher risk--SA does happen to them more frequently. And men are much more likely to be abusers than women. Maybe the prosecutor isn't trying to eliminate risk (not possible anyway) but to reduce it.[/quote]
