I was...lol I did not take it to mean that at all. I was molested as a child by a cousin so I totally understand what you are saying. All I will say is the field I am working in makes the doubt a little easier because background checks are a click away. lol I am definitely not one to shelter my kids anyway. I even let them play outside by themselves.

Whoo. I don't want misunderstandings like that floating about. More that, people who have a child's trust are more likely to be molested by those folks (if it's even gonna happen) because they're the ones with opportunity. BTW molestation happens way more than you think but most people just don't blog about it the way they blog about how they'd NEVER leave their kids with anyone b/c they're so above that.<BR/><BR/>*fume*<BR/><BR/>Ok, I'm gonna quit now. I'm not all for dumping your kid in childcare 24/7 but sheltering them 24/7 isn't practical either. Sigh.<BR/><BR/>Tolerance.<BR/>Tolerance.<BR/>Tolerance.<BR/><BR/>It's not a bad word, everyone.Happy Elf Mom (Christine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-30567276661613878702008-06-30T15:02:00.000-05:002008-06-30T15:02:00.000-05:00Well, unfortunately it's the people you know well ...Well, unfortunately it's the people you know well enough to know they wouldn't molest your children who are more likely to molest your children. That includes aunts, uncles and older cousins. YOU CAN'T hide under a rock and say it would NEVER happen, but IMO you also can't hide under a rock and protect your children to the point where they can never function and have trusting relationships.<BR/><BR/>Just my opinion. <BR/><BR/>You are sure not taking over my post. PLEASE feel free to take as much space as you like to comment anytime. I know I feel free to write little mini-novels on yours. In fact, when I get a little mini-novel from folks I'm just so honoured because I know these are people who not only read what I had to say, but took the time and energy to compose their thoughts to talk back to me.<BR/><BR/>Bless ya!Happy Elf Mom (Christine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-24570461117709242312008-06-30T14:51:00.000-05:002008-06-30T14:51:00.000-05:00I think we must have been reading the same blog. t...I think we must have been reading the same blog. that was what upset me. I know all the workers at our church personally so I know them well enough to know they would not molest my children. How would they even find time for that when they have a class full of kids anyway?<BR/><BR/>Ok sorry for taking over your post.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15882915902110469241noreply@blogger.com
