Our kids just aren't safe

I completely understand I am with you on this I have 3 kids two are adult children and I worry about them being out there. One is still at home and he probably always will be because he has special needs. He is 15 yrs old and I don't let him even go into the store by himself. Now a days you can't be too careful.

I wouldn't recommend any punishment for them. I leave that for our law maker people but yes, there is a threat but for that we need to make our kid a little brave. They must know about good and bad touch, so that they can understand the motives of pervs around thre. We can't be with them every where. I mean it can happen anywhere but if our kids are brave enough, no one can catch them or even do anything with them. Being protective is good but you can't protect them every time as they would also want to have some free time, don't ty?

I will first give the disclaimer that I am not a parent, and I can see that if I was I might have a different view. But I do remember being a child, being allowed to play outside. I was not allowed to cross the street when very small, but even before kindergarten I was allowed to walk to the school's playground, requiring me to cross two streets, unattended. For almost every summer I can be gone all day - just be back for supper. And I am relatively sure, though I need time to research it in more detail, that there were also child killers and/or rapists during that time also; this is no new thing that just turned up, just the awareness due to our sensationalist journalism. Yes it is a terrible thing to happen when it does happen, but what are the chances of it actually happening? And what are the consequences thinking there's a monster around every corner? By all means, teach them safety, not talking to strangers, tell you where they are going and when they will be back, etc. - but it seems to me that today it is just so overkill. As to what to do with such people, I'll leave that to the justice department.

Our Kids are not safe. The first time my teenage daughter comes home and says they tried to strip search her at school i will probably end up in jail. I have 2 teenage daughters and i do not let them go to friends unless i meet the parents, I am thank full that most of the kids my girls hang out with are on the same sports teams as they are. We travel with these girls and parents a lot through out the year so i know all of them, spending weekends at hotels and ball fields. The girls are usually tired after a day of games and just want to hang in each others rooms before the next day of games. As far as the sick perverts that roam the earth I say save a monkey experiment on them, Human testing, I am all for it.

I totally agree with you. Kids today are not safe and i would definitely not let a seven year old walk to the store all by himself, at least not if the store is far away. i do believe that pedophiles have a problem and that they should be subjected to therapy. We must not forget that these people are also humans, and their souls have probably been wounded very deeply for them to become pedophiles.
