No such thing as overprotective...

This LINK was emailed to me by a friend of mine.
The fact that is is written by a NZ mother with a happy, healthy family life, who was responsible about telling her children about bad touching, who made sure her children felt comfortable talking to her about it and actually took the time to ask them questions about it to make sure they were ok, really brings home to me the fact that you can never be too careful, or too protective when it comes to your children's safety and wellbeing.
I know that we can't and shouldn't feel suspicious of everyone but it really makes you realise just how clever these sickos are. How it can be happening right under your nose and still you have no idea, like this poor mother.
The fact that this guy had been convicted and imprisoned in the past and was still able to live next door to, and be so involved in the lives of this family is so disturbing. I know that they have to live somewhere after they do their time and that it is unreasonable to expect them to find a place with no small children in the vicinity.. Its just so frightening to think this could be any one of us, any one of our neighbours. And we are essentially helpless to find out.

omg

Coming from a family that has had this happen from an another family member it is really sad. It is known these days that it will be done by someone that is really close to the family and they are sneaky and manipulative. I so believe that there should be a list of known paedophiles so we can protect our children.

thats so horrible.
my daughters dads family has a convicted child sex offender in their family, but they dont seem to think theres anything wrong with him being at family functions around peoples kids.
i wont let her go to anything

I hate that there are people like that out there, you really can't trust anyone.
