[QUOTE="buddy, post: 485618, member: 12886"] yeah, that is what I was trying, ineptly to say. The fact is if there is a preditor out there, they will find a way and we can't really possibly do much more than our best to educate our kids and supervise. But the risk of them not fully being able to grow, by not ever giving chances to leave the house and go with friends.... It can't happen. When I was young my dad and some other guys befriended a guy down on his luck ...can't believe I am going here but.... He was allowed to sleep in the basement of a restaurant nearby. My dad would let him work on his car in our garage. One day he came to the back door and I was in my dancing clothes getting ready to leave. He asked for my dad. I said he is going to be here in a few minutes (I didn't really know when). He opened the door and came in. I asked him to wait a minute and went and got my phone and called my neighbor and his dad and they came over, I just felt scared. The next week he was arrested for killing two girls who had paper routes. He also went to Wisc and killed a family. I will never forget him and he popped up on the news over and over thru the years. It was so scary. My dad had told him in the mean time that if he ever came in my house without him there again, he would get nothing from him.... I think that is what saved me. He needed my dad.
