But would you really want to do those things? Better safe than sorry!
To evaluate risk you need to understand how likely something is. You, or another pp, keep saying there is a 1 in 100 chance of a kid changing in the men's room being molested. In 2011 there were 26 people who died being struck by lightening. There were no reports of kids molested while changing in pool locker rooms while their moms waited outside.
How do you know that there weren't any cases of a child being molested while a mother waited outside? Really, how do you know that? Are you God? Fact, you don't know that. Also a fact, there have indeed been cases of children being molested or killed while a mother waited outside. Don't believe that? Look it up. It's been reported on reputable news shows.
But some of you think it's preferable that a child be harmed than to have the child see your daughters "boobies" for a second. Because we all know how harmful it is to see a pair of breasts.![]()
Maybe there are some Jerry Sandusky's lurking on here that want to make sure that little boys are still sent into men's locker rooms?
Sandusky molested boys who were between 10 and 15. Are you going to let your son go in the locker room at 15?

So you'd be fine if you were forced to get naked in front of your male coworkers and let them stare because they're just curious?
And again, it's not all about your kid. I don't think your kid will be harmed by seeing my naked daughter. I think my daughter will be harmed! Your son doesn't get to violate my daughter. Follow the damn rules.

I'm guessing there are a lot of families who come to your pool, OP. So it's not like the women changing there are expecting adults only. I have a five yr old big and he always comes into the women's room with me. no way in hell would I send him alone to the men's room by himself at age 5. no way. i also have a two yr old daughter and I would feel very uncomfortable with her having to accompany my husband when she is five in the men's room, like PP's husband has to do. They need to change the policies at that pool and provide another way of entering the pool for families.

The issue really isn't with 5 year olds. Its with 8 year olds.
