If you want to protect your child then you stay put.

I will not leave my child at birthday parties, sleepovers - or playdates. Where they go, I go. Except for school. Errands can wait, laundry can wait - everything else can wait. They are not allowed to play inside at a neighbors house.

90% of the time, most child molesters are a trusted member of the community and the family. infact there are many cases where they are fmaily itself.

It’s sad that we have to be that paranoid but I am not taking any chances.

NEVER — I REPEAT NEVER send your kids to other people home or leave your kids with someone else other than your siblings or parents.

My wife has shown this attitude and although sometimes it annoys me, initially we had our arguments on this (heated ones) but then whenever I come across any such story, I second her. According to her theory, there is not need to judge people if its ok to leave kids with them or not. She says it will be one mis judgement that can hurt for the rest of life so she take not chances with this.

A lot of you are saying child shouldn’t be allowed to sleepover but what if someone is visiting/staying over? Someone close, a family member/relative? I know someone who was molested by her mamu(blood brother of her mother). I think children should be supervised even if they’re with family. A lot of desi parents only feel cautious when their kids are with friends or strangers. Sadly, that’s not enough! You really have to keep an eye on their company at all times.

Agree with all above! :k:

Better safe than sorry.
