[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - I'm really troubled by this post - you seem to be sending the message to her that she should fear all of her friends' fathers. Just ask some basic questions and let her go![/quote]

This x 100. As a society, we have to find a way to educate our kids about potential dangers and give them tools to protect themselves without singling out an entire category of people as likely perpetrators. [/quote]

exactly!

Children must know there are good, trustworthy adults besides their parents. Because there ARE.  Putting the fear of god in them that adult males are harmful is terrible! They must learn to interact with adults of all ages and genders. Make conversation. Ask questions. Advocate for themselves.  Develop an instinct. And have fun, for god sakes!

And, btw, other adults offer a different point of view, outlook, wisdom, and skill set that I can't offer my kids, so it's really important to let your kids interact and learn from adults other than yourself.
