I’m curious about this too. Why is the focus only on daughters? Why not the same level of concern for sons? It’s not like young boys don’t get abused.

On the same note, why only “uncles”? Do you also feel the same level of discomfort/concern if grandparents (your own dad or spouse’s dad), your own brother etc. are affectionate with your daughter (and sons)?

I guess each family has to set limits according to their own family dynamics. At the end of the day, you are the best judge. In our case we feel comfortable leaving kids with grandparents. If someone does not feel comfortable, they should not.

Key is to keep the communication going with kids. Dont just leave them with someone and forget it. I am not saying that dont trust anyone but dont blind trust. Now there are times, when we have to leave them for short period dues to various reasons (dr appointment etc), we always talk to kid about how was their stay, what did they do? who was around in the manner that they don’t feel being investigated.

Also, if you teach them about keeping distance from their childhood, they start doing it unconsciously and without you telling them all the time.
