[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH prosecutes sex offenders. He has seen a lot of cases of things happening at sleepovers, so we don't do them. I also have to say that I remember a friend's older brother coming and messing with me when I was sleeping at her house in HS. So I agree with this. [/quote]

Exactly this.  It takes one incident to change their lives forever.  Why risk it?[/quote]

Hate to break it to you but most are a family friend/known by child and not a stranger at a sleep over.  You find sex offenders everywhere- school (teacher reactly in the news), church, etc. Your time would be better spent educating your child.[/quote]

Don’t you think the people not letting their kids do sleepovers are also concerned about these scenarios as well?  Don’t act like they aren’t educating their children. My parents never let me have sleepovers and to this day I am eternally grateful. Turns out a friend of mine in high school was molested by her father for years. Oh, and he molested two of our friends while at the house during a sleepover. My elementary aged children will not be sleeping at other people’s houses.

And as for the sports team in high school and overnight trips, we will likely go until kids are around 16. Don’t tell me they will be in college soon etc. Lots of development in maturity and judgment happens every year for kids. Big difference between 15 and 18. [/quote]
