Adults shouldn't SLEEP WITH children who aren't their own children. Just like my husband shouldn't sleep with another woman other than me.

That last sentence makes it sound a little strange. Your husband shouldn't sleep with another woman because an adult only sleeps in the same bed with another adult of the opposite sex when their relationship is sexual. When a kid sleeps in the same bed as an adult, that is hopefully not the case. Therefor, as long as it a trusted adult, I don't see anything wrong with it.

I can't think of a single adult that I would allow to sleep with my child other than me or husband. I don't think I would allow a grandparent to sleep with my child altho my daughter allows her sons age 5 and 7 to sleep with me,,they have sort of outgrown it now. But I guess I am just congenitally suspicious of people who want to sleep with other people's kids.

We are talking about little boys sleeping with adult men. Just doesn't seem normal to me..... It would bother me if my grown sons preferred to sleep with little boys, instead of a wife... just like it would bother me if my husband did same thing, or slept with other women. Maybe it is just me, but it would most certainly bother me. I don't think M Jackson should be sleeping with little boys, I really thought he had stopped that after all the lawsuits/payoffs.

Some poster here have never gone camping or have forgotten the experience.

When I was a little boy, I slept in little tents with adult males who were not my dad; some of these adults were relatives, but some of them were just my dad's friends or neighbors.

No kid ever got molested or abused, even thought we slept very close to each other, especially on a cold night.
