I chose to respond to your post, because you mentioned Woody is a strange dude. You don’t judge him blamed on that, but you did mention it. I think it’s an important fact that we need to be aware of kids and the tell-tale signs of abuse.

The adult men in their lives don’t have to be strange dudes. They don’t have to be outwardly deviant. In many instances, the only tip-off will be the behavior of the child in your presence. Don’t turn a blind eye to it.

If a child is doing inappropriate things with other kids, there’s a reason. Kid’s don’t become predators without some cause. Someone introduced them to these behaviors.

Now I’m not talking about normal curiosity. I think a fair amount of kids go through that. In certain settings this can get a bit out of hand. But if a child is making moves on another in an adult manner, we should ask ourselves why.

I don’t want parents or other adults in these children’s lives suspected unreasonably, so we shouldn’t go off half-cocked. We shouldn’t ignore troubling behaviors either.

I’m not an expert on this, so I’m not an expert on what the best reaction should be. I just don’t think we should dismiss it out of hand, because the damage being done if something truly is happening, can really devastate a kid’s life.

This girl sounds sincere. How do you know now? A medical exam in the day could have provided a bit of insight.

Adults who prey on children up through 17 years of age, are the filth of society. Bill Clinton going after Monica Lewinsky was a beast of a man. He about 52 and her 20, what a despicable person. And his wife, covering up as much as she could..., never would I ever consider her for a leadership position.
