I immediately wanted to dislike this video because I dislike the subject. Then I thought, no, I like this video for bringing stuff like this to light, and I don't dislike the PDS. However, THIS MAKES ME SO ANGRY And so scared. To the point of, if I have children, no interacting with adults I don't know - ever. I never did sports. ok maybe once, but I broke my arm and was happy about it. However I did get driving lessons from this dude I told my parents a million times I didn't like. When he reached for the wheel, I could have sworn he purposefully touched my breasts. My parents did not believe me and made me do six classes with him and paidddddd him 2 years later when I went to college my mother called me crying and apologizing because a newspaper article came out about this man taking advantage of tons of young girls. Thank god nothing other than grazing happened to me, but it still makes me so mad. I think not only do kids need to speak up, but parents need to listen. And I'm 31, not a child, but I strongly believe parents need to listen more. Believe your kid over an adult you don't personally know.

I insist that my kid is never alone with adults that are outside of her immediate family neither is she allowed to use devices without us present. We've talked to her at length about possible dangers, more than that though we don't force her to be affectionate with people, regardless of whether they're family or friends. I remember during my own childhood on numerous occasions my parents would tell me to go and kiss so so, hug someone or other and I didn't want to, but I did because they told me to. It played a part in my belief (through to my earlier adult years) that if someone had authority over me as I saw it, I had no choice, no right. It's a double edged sword teaching your children to respect their elders as that can be exploited by predators, they rely on it. Children instinctually know when something is wrong but they've had it drilled in to them to do as they're told and so they ignore those instincts. We try to get her to listen to hers, as well as remind her that her body is hers and hers alone, that no one has any right to her.

As a coach of a youth basketball team I always try and spend time getting to know parents so that everyone feels comfortable with the things I'm teaching the kids about respect, leadership, right and wrong, as well as skills and athletic things. The shocking thing is that it is actually really hard to get parents to spend some extra time doing this. The vast majority of parents drop their kid off and say see you in an hour and a half. Many of them don't even come in the gym for drop off and pick up. As a dad and a coach I think it's so important to get to know the people who are spending all this time with your kids. That means teachers, coaches, babysitters, friends, friends parents, etc. Believe me, I understand how precious those few hours alone can be, but when you become a parent you are also agreeing that those me hours might only come at 10 p. m. - in a lot of instances there will be days or weeks where that me time just doesn't happen - that's the deal. Spend the time - protect your kids.

Literally everything you just said about how do we be aware without being horrified is my life. My daughter is 11 and had a middle school Halloween dance THAT THE PARENTS WERE NOT ALLOWED TO ATTEND OR CHAPERONE. Here I'm sat in, my garage (so the kids cant hear) with my husband, screaming about how shes only 11 and something horrible is gonna happen and that people who wanna abuse kids put themselves in positions to be with kids I. e. a basketball coach or a teacher. And how my fear is, she leaves the gym to go pee and gets shoved in some creepy closet by some psycho teacher who does horrible things to her and then this is the catalyst for further abuse the rest of the time shes at this school. And my husband is looking at me like I'm crazy and he asks me are you always afraid of something like this happening and I'm like YES I dont know how to be any other way. I dont know a single woman who hasnt been abused and at this point its practically a right of passage trope. How to be chill? Seriously?

I absolutely think this is something that we need to talk about. Dammit, humanity is so unpredictable. Im about to start a new family soon and natural terrors aside this is the one thing that scares me the most. The sheer amount of strangers we as parents have to interact with, and trust, While our children grow is just absurd. I totally understand its part of life but the randomness is just the worst. Like this basketball coach, it wasnt a one time thing. Literally hundreds of kids for years Thats hundreds of parents, the kids themselves, the psychological trauma, the way itll affect their significant others in the future, and their parenting styles once they have kids. This shit will basically imprint on them for the rest of their lives. And no one knew until his own brother in law ACCIDENTALLY found it. Kinda reminds me of that once case of Ariel Castro who abducted those three girls for ten freaking years.

I don't understand why people think that a bunch if high school kids don't know what's going on. My best friend was raped at a party by a 13 year old girl. He was 22 at the time and passed out drunk at a party. But she then turned around and said he raped her, she would have gotten away with it if I didn't record it when I saw it. But even though my video proved his innocence. I was charged and convicted of making porn of a minor, even though you could hear me on the video tell her to stop and leave my friend alone. I got 10 years of probation for recording a crime to prove my friend was being raped. You people talk of no justice in the world. The local news reported that I was making videos of minors and showed my face and said on the news where I live and gave out my home phone number. I've gotten death threats from people like you, you're all so quick to condemn a man to death. You people make me sick.

Have all kinds of conversations with your children, make sure they know how to communicate with you and make sure you understand how your child communicates. Make sure your children know how to draw boundaries and make sure the people around your child respect them. If your child doesn't want to give someone a hug or a kiss on the cheek, don't force them to, they're drawing a boundary and it should be respected always, if it suddenly becomes a case that they're always forced to give hugs, they may not understand when they can say no, particularly if they are very young. Don't hide the badness in the world from your children, instead, explain things to them in an age appropriate way, what's okay for a 15 year old, won't be okay for a 5 year old but they can still learn the same things, just in different ways and to different degrees. Give your children the best childhood you possibly can.

I have a quasi personal experience with this. When I was around 11 years old I was planning on becoming a lifeguard through my local YMCA. I was in the last class when the Instructor told us all to take our clothes off and jump in the water. I immediately left and went home and told my dad (never did become a lifeguard. in fact I hate swimming now. I think the instructor was fired but I don't remember. It is SO important for parents to talk to their kids about Stranger Danger. My parents did something right because it felt totally wrong to me. I shared this story with both of my children and explained to them that no adults should be touching you or asking you to do things that make you feel uncomfortable. Fortunately my kids never experience what I did. It was awful I hope this guy gets the BOOK thrown at him. multiple times. What a schmuck for a human being: /

As the experts on Real Crime Profile have said over and over. If someone wants to spend more time with your children than you do that is suspicious. You can have friends like talking to your kids for a few minutes, that is fine. But if they want to host a sleepover and other things ALL THE TIME look into that person. Ask kids about that person. and the biggest thing, talk to your kids about age-appropriate touching. If someone wants to touch where your bathing suit covers you need to come to tell mommy right away. Make sure they understand that if that happens they themselves did nothing wrong, but that parents need to know it is happening to prevent further incidents. Make sure you know what grooming looks like. Make sure you know what adult and community grooming looks like.
