[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 319870, member: 4264"] I've been speaking more with easy child about safety stuff. Not that I think crime has worsened, just that once we know we can do better, I feel obligated to be sure we do. So I balance the fine line on helping easy child recognize danger and how to stay safe, vs not wanting her living in fear. So far so good. We have a safe word thing. We talked through the years about stranger danger. But lately we've talked more about how high the odds are it is someone you know, and how it is NOT okay no matter how they try to seduce you to believe you should allow it or keep quiet etc. I've decided since she is now 10 years old, to open up a small bit that my own dad is a perpetrator. I want her to understand that sometimes it is the people we love and respect and want to love us, and how much that weighs in favor of a predator but doesn't have to, so long as we have open communication and she talks to me openly. I haven't told her any details at all. Just that he has harmed many women in the family and is a dangerous and very sick person. But that he can walk the streets and be respected etc because sick people don't always look sick or demented. Sometimes they are a the kindly coach, uncle, father, teacher, neighbor etc. I think thats very important nowadays. [/QUOTE]
