Said to her?! There is absolutely NOTHING that he could have said to my daughter that would make her allow him to sexually molester her!! NADA-ZIP-ZILCH!

I hope you are right and it seems that you are doing a good job teaching your daughter what to do. I am doing the same but children can get frightened or be so scared they do nothing. I wonder how someone could do this act without the attendant coming by & checking the child? I tell my 8 yr old nobody has the right to touch her & to get away from anyone who she thinks is a danger. Do whatever she has to do, bite , kick scream etc. Not to believe that person will kill her family etc. I just hope she never has to go through anything like this girl did.

I'm still not convinced that this girl went through anything. I'll withhold judgment until (if) I hear more.

Even adults get scared....I had a fire (that raged from a small flame to an inferno within about 3 seconds) a few weeks ago in the kitchen and just froze in panic. There were 2 fire extinguishers within about 5 feet but my mind didn’t ‘move.’

While I am not stupid and *usually* react well in an emergency (all heads turn to me when there are broken bones or blood) this time I became paralyzed. Rather than put it out (duh), I frantically called 911 and got all the critters out in a stupid daze.

In hindsight, I go over all the ‘should have dones’ and ‘I knew betters’ (like grab an extinguisher and save the kitchen!) but the ‘connection’ wasn’t made at the time.

So, YES, an 11 year-old absolutely CAN shut down in a situation like that even though they’ve been taught all the Stranger-Danger stuff.
