[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]My husband was molested by a relative, at about that age, and one of the hardest things for him to deal with as an adult is that he would literally cry and throw a fit when his parents left him with this relative and they kept doing it anyhow. He was telling everyone the only way he could,[/b] and no one was listening. I would try and track down the father, a school counselor, or CPS immediately. Some parents refuse to face the truth. My husband's parents didn't immediately believe him when he told them what had happened, and he was an adult at the point. [/quote]

Not this poster, but please re-read her response.   
It's telling.

And think about this.   
How many of our grown men husbands would jump at the chance to babysit a 10-year-old boy??  
Not many!!!  [/b] [/quote]

I want to point out that it's not crazy for an adult male to be willing to babysit a 10 year old boy. I think OP is right to be alarmed by this particular situation, but not merely because the man agreed to babysit the boy. PP, my husband would willingly babysit our relatives' and friends' children if needed. Not sure where you're getting "jump at the chance," but I think it's important to point out that plenty of men watch over children every day and have no reason to be looked at sideways. [/quote]
