As a recently licensed foster mom and Mom to 2 biological kids I have to say I HATE this whole spending the night thing. I am just uncomfortable letting my kids stay the night at anyones house except my parents. You just never know. I mean why do you hear about so many kids that have been molested? It is just too perfect an opportunity for someone with those inclinations. I would like to be more trustful of people but I just don't feel it is a risk I am willing to take with my kids. In my area the was a prominent man working for Salvation Army working with kids and he would have sleepovers and molest the young girls at them. One was a daughters friend. You would think there is safety in numbers at a sleepover but apparently not. ...........I admit I have let my daughter do a couple of sleepovers with parents I know from her school but even then I just HATE it. I wish the world was a safer place for kids. They should string these child molesters up instead of releasing them after "rehabilitaion". We all know sex offenders a notorious repeat offenders.
