[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a very free range parent, and[b] don't see being groped in a crowd as some horrible tragic event that will traumatize a girl for life, [/b]but I also can't see myself allowing it until 14.[/quote]

So you'd be okay with some stranger putting his hands on your 14 year old because he's sexually turned on by her and feels he has the right to violate her personal space for just a few seconds???  :roll: [/quote]

No, sorry if I wasn't clear. I'd be cool with letting her go to a concert,  because you can't protect them forever. [b]I am not "okay" with public groping, but I also hope that the kid I raised is resilient enough that when something like that happens to her, she won't be traumatized by it[/b]. [/quote]

You hope?? You may not be able to protect your child forever, but you can certainly take parental precaution to protect a 12 year old. [/quote]

Um... which is why I wrote that I wouldn't be comfortable with it until 14 or later?[/quote]

Right, because the way you raised her has a direct bearing on her ability to cope with sexual assault.  Get over yourself.[/quote]
