[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now if you're going to raise your children to look out for the elderly like that as teens, GOOD ON YOU! That's great. But most teenagers don't. They leave that stuff to the adults. (Remember the stories of the creepy old men in the neighborhood? You can never be too careful with your children. Most parents don't allow them to get too close to other adults.)[/quote]

Was just going to say this. [/quote]

And yet you drop your young teens at the mall to see a movie, where a dirty old man can sit down right to them, and let his hands "wander"? Don't worry. Most kids would be too mortified to make a peep. (And if they told you, then you'd never let them go back.)

Please say you don't do that.

If you let your teenager shovel snow for an elderly neighbor, you also let your teenager get molested at the movies?

Good grief. I should stop being amazed when threads on DCUM suddenly veer of into Wackland.[/quote]

Exactly!

There's a HUGE difference between having a teenager/child in an elderly person's home (where a lot of molestation occurs, if/when it does) and dropping them off at the mall.

Let's be real: How many teens and strange old men do you see sitting next to each other in a movie theater? Neither would venture to sit next to the other. And if a creepy old man did, I guarantee that teenager would be so creeped out s/he would move to another seat.

Again, if that poster wants to teach their children to look after the elderly in their neighborhood--instead of being neighborly enough to do it their damn selves and allow their teens to enjoy their teen years--that's her business. My teens never did it, and I never lost sleep over that fact.[/quote]
