[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love how everyone is glossing over the obvious bigotry here.  OP isn't saying she has a problem with the nanny not accompanying her kid, she is uncomfortable because the other caregiver is a man.  Because, of course, all men are predators just waiting for their chance to be alone with a young girl. 
I really feel bad for the DCU daddies.  [/quote]

Statistically more men than women abuse children. I'm not going to risk my child and/or charge. It's the whole 'not all men are menaces, but all women have been menaced by men' schtick all over again.

To OP, tell the family you'd like your nanny to accompany your daughter as she gets a bit shy around strangers, or use the other suggestion to host.[/quote]

LOL even if this is true, it'd be like 1.5% of woman have abused a child, totally ok to trust women, and 1.6% of men have abused a child, MORE MEN THAN WOMEN OMG CAN'T TRUST A MAN.

You really are ridiculous.[/quote]

You would be unpleasantly surprised to learn just how many more children are abused.

For stats on male/female abusers kindly have a look at this website and educate yourself: http://www.thelizlibrary.org/site-index/site-index-frame.html#soulhttp://www.thelizlibrary.org/liz/statistics.html[/quote]

I work with the child victims of abuse on a daily basis. I literally see them hours, sometimes minutes, after the abuse has taken place.   I see firsthand the damage that is done and don't need a website to spew some facts at me. 
 I would still NEVER judge a caregiver based solely on their gender. If you don't have a good sense of someone, that is one thing, if you are just making your decision based on some very poor/juvenile logic, you have deeper issues than can be hashed out on an internet forum. [/quote]

Oh come on, "The Liz Library" sounds like a totally legit source. I mean it even has a fact vs myth section! If that ain't proof idk what is[/quote]
