Can you watch your children 24 hours a day, what about while they are at
school. Or your are work. Do you expect the teachers to watch every
child every moment.. Its not possible. Not even the best and most caring
parents can keep their eyes open 24 hours a day, and their are
pedophiles who snatch children from their bedrooms, from their gardens,
from their schools, on the way home from school, when mum has turned her
back for five seconds to buy grocery's or check out her change...
expecting parents to be on guard every moment of every day is expecting
the impossible... if you give children to tools to spot pedophiles then
it makes children that much safer, What sort of parent wouldnt want
their children to be educated in how to spot pedophiles, the only parent
I can think of who wouldnt want that is a pedophile who is committing
incest with his own children

Another one trying to turn the argument around and put the blame back on
someone else, what is it with you people, children should not be locked
away they need there freedom and they need the chance to explore their
world as they get older,
My children had a fair amount of freedom, but I always knew where they
were, they had money for a phone call if they needed me and they were
always with other kids.
I gave them the information they needed to keep them safe, I gave them a
good sex education,
They knew about pedophiles and child molesters, because I taught them
without frightening them to much what to look for and what to expect,
Why shouldn't other children have that education and that chance.
Parents cant be with their kids 24 hours a day, but they can give them
an understanding of what to expect and what to do about it.

Now your being foolish, pedophiles are often seen as kind, good with
kids and charming. The biggest problem is that parents think their
children are lying when they tell the parents that Mr So, and so the
teacher has touched them.
You cant tell by looking at someone that they are a pedophile they don't
carry a big sign around with them saying. "Pedophile"
Schools will not employ a pedophile knowingly and if the staff don't
realise the danger and they work and socialise with the pedophile then
what chance do parents have after a couple of moments talking to the
teacher.

How...not everyone is able to judge another person after a couple of
moments talk... your asking the impossible of parents. You have to be
realistic which is why children should be educated to deal with
pedophiles the only people who would be unhappy with this sort of
education is the pedophiles themselves.

My what have we here, another little man with a chip on his shoulder,
who thinks that children should not be educated about pedophiles.
I will not shut the XXXX up, because that's exactly what people like you
want... I am a parent and grandparent and it is my XXXXing business, its
every parents business...
You want children to be guarded day and night by parents you know that's
impossible, You don't want children to be educated on how to spot and
deal with pedophiles, Why...!
