he people who my oldest would likely sleepover at, granted hes 19 months so I have time to digest this, I have literally known all of my life. Not just them, their spouse, their parents, their spouses parents, their siblings, their spouses siblings. Its one thing to know a family down the street, its a totally different thing that I am referring to.
Your think your kids are only going to go to school with and be friends with other kids whose parents you've known all your life? Where the hell do you live?

you instead get to know their friends and their friends' parents.
According to everyone in this thread its impossible to actually know someone. So you sir, are wrong.

You are probably right, and that doesn't really bother me, I did the same thing.

I hate that people act like there is no middle ground.
I can be protective of my child while still letting them live.

That article had some sort of strange religious overtones.
I can imagine the author would also frown upon their little ones from associating with friends of different denominations, as well.

Yep, the world today is littered with nothing but people putting on fronts so they can do sick depraved things with your kids.
Unlike 30 years ago when we all lived in Mayberry.

Considering that the school here is very small and the classes consist of about 20 kids per grade, id say its a pretty good chance.

I graduated with 375, not one pregnant. My wife graduated with 18, they had two knocked up before graduation.

Curious to know how other people feel about this topic.
Couldn't disagree more with the article. Sleepovers were a big part of my daughter's childhood; they helped build her social skills plus they were lots of fun.
Naturally you're concerned about your kid's well being outside you're own home, but we got to know the parents of our daughter's friends, we socialized with them and we established trust that way. We always got a clear picture of other parents ideas on responsible behavior and we were glad to share ours as well.

Sounds rather insular.

I have a brother, but he was so much older that I was basically an only child. Man I would have been bored as shite all the time if I wasn't allowed to sleep over at a friend's house.
Though my parents had met all their parents multiple times through school stuff and sports.

Sadly, the world has changed in the last few decades, and it is no longer a safe place for children. Pedophiles and child molesters are more pervasive than ever.
James Dobson must be an old person who watches CNN/Fox all day and just feels like the above is true. Because it's not true...people are just fricking idiots and are fricking up their kids lives because of it.

When I was young (almost 30 years ago) I had a neighbor that committed suicide by running her car with the garage door closed. The exhaust ended up going through the whole house killing her husband, son, and a kid that was sleeping over. I always thought about how unlucky that kid was.
People have always been crazy, I definitely don't think it's any worse now.

Perhaps your daughter found a new friend and you didn't have much knowledge or trust in her parents... Do you change your tune?

According to the nation's top experts, children are actually safer from physical and sexual abuse than they have been for decades. A National Incidence Study of Child Abuse and Neglect issued by the Department of Health and Human Services found that both physical and sexual abuse of children have dropped significantly over the past 20 years: From 2005 to 2006, an estimated 553,000 children suffered physical, sexual or emotional abuse, down 26 percent from the estimated 743,200 abuse victims in 1993. And between 1993 and 2005, the number of sexually abused children dropped 38 percent, while number of children who experienced physical abuse fell by 15 percent and those who were emotionally abused declined by 27 percent.

1 in a million possibilities Is getting popped by lightening.
Letting your 6 or 7 yr old go home with someone that you casually know is asking for it.
But hey bro....you be you!
