[quote=Anonymous]Is this where we are as a people. Because some priests and Boy Scout leaders (grown men who wear those shorts should have been suspect all along) abused children we cut our kids off from any kind of village or support? Sorry kids there's no one for you to reach out to. Nevermind that like 5% of child sexual abusers are women. Do you let your child use the internet? Do you read everything they post and send until they are 18? The way to protect your child isn't by going all North Korea and cutting them off from the world. Your job is to teach them how to navigate the world and the various pitfalls safely. So you talk to them about sexual abuse, you talk to them about grooming. You empower them to speak up and tell someone when something doesn't feel right. If you rob them of trusted adults, then to whom will they turn? They might not feel comfortable telling their mom that something weird sexually happened. They may not want to upset you or worry you. Your job is to give them tools not build a wall around them. This is honestly one of the saddest posts I've ever read here. [/quote]
