Do You know where your children are at all times?

It really scares me when I see children outside and no one out watching them. It only takes a split second for a child to disappear and never be found again. Even schools don't have adequate protection for our kids. A lot of parents don't feel it's wrong to let their children go to the mall and other places by themselves and this gives pedaphyles more leeway to do their dirty deeds and parents are always so sorry about it after the fact, but then it's too late to bring their children back. If you're in the habit of allowing your children to be away from you and without supervision just to get them out of your hair for a while, think about how you would feel if they were molested or raped, or murdered. We all tend to think that will never happen to us, and I thought the same thing, and it DID happen. My child was molested by the next door neighbor while they were babysitting them while we were out for our 10th anniversery. It was the VERY FIRST TIME we had ever let them stay overnight with anyone and we trusted these people to watch them just for the simple reason that they'd never given us a reason to be suspicious of them. I hope this never happens to your child, but if it ever does, will you take the blame for it? I have blamed myself for years that this happened to my child. I just wish I had never allowed her to stay overnight with anyone who wasn't family. Now I know not to allow it to happen to my grandchild. He never leaves our site for one minute. A child can get into poisons and medications in your own home, so you need to be very careful to watch them closely and make sure they're safe. If you're not doing this, no one can say when disaster will strike, anything can happen.
