It comes back to parenting again. I taught my children from a very young age that they should never allow anyone to touch them in any way or any where that made them feel uncomfortable. I explained that parts of their bodies were sacred or private and nobody had the right to touch them there. I told them they should always bring any concerns to me or their dad...We also monitor (still) what they watch, who they talk to on the internet and who their friends are. I'm not going to say that
nothing could ever happen, they are still all minors, but I have done my damned best to preserve their innocence at the same time as warning them of the dangers out there.
I too like most of the others here, am appalled that so many children are NOT innocent these days. Also I agree with KATEX that these girls MUST have been aware of the damage they were doing to an innocent man. Many kids cover things up because they can't face getting someone they know/love into trouble. These children had no such qualms..
