[quote=Anonymous]I am shocked with the level of worry about molestation at sleepovers.  But I have only reached the tween/teen age with a boy, so perhaps it is different with a girl???

First of all, if I had a young tween, I would not be allowing them to sleep over anyone's house unless I knew the parents well.

I do agree with not having phones after a certain hour.  The only thing they would accomplish is keeping the kids up until wee hours and having exhausted grumpy kid the next day.  I have a boy, and our rules are no phones in the bedroom at bedtime.  During sleepovers, phones are relinquished at 11 or midnight (or however late I am able to stay awake lol).  I have never had anyone complain about it, other than that they wanted to continue to watch youtube.

As for the paranoid helicopter parents here, you are foolish to believe your kid's cellphone is protecting them at a sleepover.  If they need to have their phone at a sleepover all night, check with the host to make sure it is ok.  That is your responsibility, not the responsibility of the host.  In most homes, rules are rules, and another kid's parents are not going to convince me to make ridiculous exceptions.  [/quote]
