[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really was uncomfortable when my DD had a playdate in middle school and I found out that the single mom's boyfriend was at home during the playdate.  I don't mind single moms.  I do mind boyfriends.[/quote]

And this is different than a day or stepdad how??? Does signing a piece of paper magically make someone less likely to sexually assault someone? Do you just not like unrelated men around your child? How about male teachers??[/quote]

Yes.

Mom's boyfriend being around is the single biggest risk factor for child molestation and abuse.[/quote]

Actual statistics from a reputable source, please.[/quote]

How do you not know the risks?  They are well documented.

Children around a live in boyfriend are up to 20 times more likely to be abused than those who do not have a luve in boyfriend around:

The risks increase slightly with a step parent, but significantly with a live in boyfriend:

This is misleading. The PP suggested that she did not mind single moms, but she did mind a live-in boy friend. So that is the true comparison, not "single mom with a live-in boyfriend" vs kids living with parents.
The study was showing:

"Children living without either parent (foster children) are 10 times more likely to be sexually abused
than children that live with both biological parents. Children who live with a single parent that has a
live-in partner are at the highest risk; they are 20 times more likely to be victims of child sexual abuse
than children living with both biological parents."

This means, kids with a single parent that has a live-in partner  is only twice more likely  to be sexually abused than kids living without either parent.

Also, this does not address whether kids who go over to a playdate at a house where a live-in boyfriend is present are more likely to be abused which is the opinion in question.[/quote]
