Listen, the gods honest truth is that practically every day I think to myself 'when she's a little older I'll teach her how to protect herself.' My own upbringing was a little lax in this regard although I saw the 'same' video as you when I grew up. The important thing I think is to keep REPEATING the message. I don't care whether it's in school or in the home or from the social circle. Even if there are only .5% of individuals (strangers or not) who may be tempted to abuse a child it is .5% too many. Children have to know how to cope with dangerous situations and the more they are told the better prepared they may (unfortunately I say may) be.<BR/> In other news, Elizabeth and I are expecting our second child in February. It's a boy and we're stoked out of our minds.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05207556398704247986noreply@blogger.com
