Too true! The person I aimed that post at and I settled the point off line, and agreed that nowhere is totally safe. I just hated the implication that I was willing and knowingly handing my child straight over to a molester.
Almost 17 years have passed, but I just found your post and am grateful that I did because I find myself in a very similar situation, except that my son is going into Kindergarten. We are enrolled in a Catholic school, which he could attend Kindergarten at in September, but we are raising him Jewish and I really am struggling with this decision. So my question for you, Yaelle, is - all these years later, what did you end up doing for your kids and how did it turn out? What advice would you give me, knowing what you know now?
boy it was a gas to read thru this. So many old freeper names. Seventeen years ago.
Wow, what a blast from the past. That so did not work. One visit and he refused to go there. And that “new baby” is now 17. Gee whiz. Ironically my youngest child is learning about all the Saints and it is fascinating. There are a lot of things about Catholicism I really like.
