Little Boys in the Women's Locker Room

[Irulan]

This is a sensitive subject for me.

pulling out my soapbox...

from the POV of a csa (childhood sexual abuse) survivor, I do think it's putting your concern for you son in the wrong place. Most sexual abuse done to kids is done by relatives, close family friend and trusted adults that are in the child's sphere of relationships... not strangers. These adults scope out kids, earn their trust, earn the parent's trust and THEN abuse them. My opinion is that you'd be better to educate your kids about good touch/ bad touch, what do with feelings of uncomfortableness... and not to have blind obiedence to adults. As a parent, what you can do is be aware of other adults in your life that may have a little too much interest in developing a close relationship with your child.
