Well I asked you to give me some examples and you didn't, so all we have is an empty cliche.
You know what? If my son was, for example, the ball boy for a major college football program with a coaching staff with an absolutely stellar reputation for integrity on and off the field, and as ball boy he went on weekend road trips with the team, I wouldn't just assume "oh my Lord they're trying to molest him!"
BTW, part of the problem with this situation is that these children are not exactly coming from stable family situation. Not only is saying "parents wake up" a silly cliche, but it really doesn't even apply in this case.
I guess your children will never go to summer camp or school retreats or sleepovers at friends' houses.
Do you even know what a cliche is?
Anyway, Adam Walsh (John Walsh's son) was abducted and killed when my two boys were small, .. so yea, I guess maybe I was a little over protective of them while they were growing up, .. sue me. John Walsh's scenario scared the crap out of me.
And yes, they did spend the night at a friends house, but only if I knew the family very well and for a long time.
And I volunteered to go along to his Boy Scout camp just to make sure he was safe, .. I checked every public bathroom before they went in when we traveled. They were never out of our site on vacation.
And unless I knew the coach well, no way would one of my boys travel with a man I don't know just because he was a famous coach of a famous team.
When it came to my boys, even if it were a million to one odds that something might happen, .. I don't like those odds.
But like I said, the whole Adam Walsh thing impacted me greatlty.
