"Show Dogs" Movie Controversy

Thanks. This is why I said “apart from” in my reply because I known the majority of abuse happens from people who are close to you, which was the abuse I encountered as a child. Plus I don’t see how “stranger danger” could ever be considered outdated.

 

I agree with both statements. It's important to know that strangers are dangerous, but it's also important to know that that doesn't automatically mean anyone who isn't a stranger is safe always.

My sister used to have code words with her kids sometimes, especially if someone else was going to pick them up from church or something. She would change the word every day or whatever, so that way even if someone they knew came to pick them up, they would only be allowed to take them if she had given them the code word for that day. I thought that was a pretty good idea.

Although when they first learned about the new system one of my nephews immediately told me what the code word was. Lol we had to explain to him again that if he tells people the word, then it defeats the purpose.
