[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] DP. Kids are capable of understanding that grandma is different than a stranger or even the lady next door. When you teach in absolutes you do more harm than good.[/quote] Kids are most likely to be sexually abused by someone known to them. It is understandably too confusing for them to sort our, say, grandma’s secret from abusive uncle’s secret. They cannot judge which one is not okay.[/quote] Well, your first statement is true but your conclusion is completely off-base. Kids are more likely to be abused by someone known to them. However, if a kid doesn't tell or they tell and the adult doesn't act, then that is more evidence of failure in other adults parts and NOT an indication that a kid can't judge whom to trust and whom to not trust. Kids are pretty savvy that way. So secrets are bad and surprises are okay but [b]parents shouldn't raise kids who cannot and will not trust anyon[/b][b]e[/b]. That is very, very bad.[/quote]
