[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 70084, member: 3626"] Well, I was a naysayer and I wasn't looking down at you and I doubt many, if any, here were. It's not an unreasonable thing to do, it's just not the norm in the US. Different cultures have different mores. Some think nothing of women going topless. Some think nothing of letting little ones run around with bare bottoms until about age 5. Some have entire households sleeping in one room. I remember a dear friend from Afghanistan being arrested and having his children placed in foster care because he rubbed his daughter's genetilia when she was upset. This was a standard act to comfort a young girl in his culture (it was never done to a girl over the age of 4). There was no molestation in his mind. No one in his family considered it a sexual act. It was just a way to sooth a child. It took 3 years for him to get his children back. No one who knew him condemned him. Many of us testified for him. The point of my story is just to let you know that what is acceptable in one country is most certainly not acceptable in another. However, in in my opinion it is wrong to judge someone simply because your rules are not my rules. For your other questions, you might want to call social services anonymously and ask what the guidelines are on these issues in your issue. [/QUOTE]
