"Lisa" wrote in message . .. "V" wrote in message ... "Joelle" wrote in message ... You sound more like a predator hunting for prey. Yea, that's Kate alright, zeroing in for the kill...cuz it's a terrible thing to make sure someone is a potential romantic partner. Geesh. Joelle The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page - St Augustine Joelle Then she'd really flip out if she knew I have ran background checks.... Never can be too careful! V LOL.. Not at all. With the access to information my brother has, no fella has a chance at all of hiding anything. Lisa Heh...he must be a cop. V |

that's the first thing I check. Hey especially if you have kids Talk about paranoia. Are you guys for real? Yea and what else is for real is that single women with children are the number one target for pediphiles. Their children are vulnerable. You can call it paranoid if you want.

They only notify here within 1500 feet. I need to know more than that. Talk about paranoia. Are you guys for real? Would you run a check on a childminder or nanny? Never have yet. Dozens of sitters and a few childminders over the years all drawn from the local community by me asking them, never them asking me. Dennis |

"Joelle" wrote in message Talk about paranoia. Are you guys for real? Yea and what else is for real is that single women with children are the number one target for pediphiles. Their children are vulnerable. I agree that vunerable children will be the target for peadophiles, I disagree that single parents will be the number one target. Overseas destinations like the far east and more recently Gambia are the first targets. Second will be the institutinalised children like orphanages and hospitalised children. Then come the places where children can be found and touched easily like swimming and sports clubs--- possibly ice dancing clubs too. Schools, churches and scouts groups would all come before lone parents on the vulnerability scale. You can call it paranoid if you want. OK then, I'll call it paranoid. Dennis |

s, I
disagree that single parents will be the number one target. Well you can disagree, and maybe things are different for you but in the US, single mothers are significant target. More children are molested by their mothers' boyfriends than by strangers at swimming pools. That's a fact, and your agreement or disagreement doesn't change it. OK then, I'll call it paranoid. You go right ahead. Doesn't bother me a bit. Name calling doesn't have any impact on what I do to keep my children safe.

Schools, churches and scouts groups would all come before lone parents on the vulnerability scale. The issue isn't whether children of single mothers are the top target. It's whether they're a significant target. It's whether the children are at risk and in need of protection. http://www.sccgov.org/channel/0,4770...D12655,00.html I draw your attention to the information under the heading 'Child Sexual Predators'. http://www.bbplaw.com/publications/frrdaj.htm I draw your attention to C-1 http://www.theawarenesscenter.org/of...sarticles.html I draw your attention to the section headed "keeping wolves at bay" There's a great deal more out there. For further information, there's an excellent book here, which I've read, and which is well researched and fact based: http://books.fantasticfiction.co.uk/...authorid=16827 You can call it paranoid if you want. OK then, I'll call it paranoid. I wish I'd been a little more paranoid, and made sure my kid was driven to and from school. Cele |

OK then, I'll call it paranoid. At some point, it comes down to trusting someone, really. There's a lot more sex offenders that aren't registered in the world. Everyday we trust a doctor to make decisions on our health, we trust the neighbors where our kids are playing, we trust our heart when forming relationships, we trust the coaches, the teachers, the caregivers, the priests and every once in a while, someone slips through and causes harm. But, you still have to trust people at the bottom line all the time. It's a part of life (as in living). heck, even the people we marry could end up being the axe murderer, and have never murdered before... you know? I think it's paranoid, too. Karen |
