Well I really have no idea, I don't even know her or the details situation and so I can't speak for her. But I do think there could be many legitimate reasons for a person to do this and it happens in cases where there is no abuse.
Dearest MissVT,:blowkiss:
Thank-you for your post.
Please do not take this post as any disrespect, I am grateful to meet you here.
I can see no legitimate reason at all for anyone to allow there vulnerable child to be around someone who they feel that it is odd/strange to be around their child. The instinct of a mother to protect her child is powerful. Even in the animal world.
If I had a gut feeling about anyone in my childs live, you bet your *advertiser censored* that there is no way in hell that I would allow that person near my child.
Parental duty.....
Parents have the duty to ensure that thier children are safe in their custody, they teach them to be safe in a world where evil walks among us.
Brooke's father, Mr. Bennett showed that when he took away the MySpace that Brooke had. All of us are grateful for that.
"Stranger danger" something taught to children, but what about "family danger".
It is up to us as parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles to plant the seeds in the minds of our little loved ones. Our angels that we are to protect. If a parent or family member, or even a friend suspects something or knows something steps need to be taken to protect the child. Not to keep it hush because the family worries about their name or image. A child's life is more important than that.
Love and Respect,
