I know it's an old thread, but...
Dear Penthouse...
The modern version is, "One time, on my way to band camp,...". LOL!

No one in any of the seats around the girl was unself-absorbed enough to notice anything out of the ordinary?
The world is caught up in its own little world. To demonstrate this to my kids (as a Lesson in Awareness), I would take them and my big blue & gold macaw to the grocery store and say, “Watch how many people DO NOT even notice this bird.” I’d perch her up on my shoulder and a’shopping we would go.
Children ALWAYS noticed her and would follow us around.
Adults, however, rarely noticed the bright blue and yellow 32” exotic creature that would even say ‘hello’ to them.
What I wanted to show my girls is that THEY need to be vigilant because most adults are not when it comes to safety, predators, etc.

I am doing the same but children can get frightened or be so scared they do nothing.
Even adults get scared....I had a fire (that raged from a small flame to an inferno within about 3 seconds) a few weeks ago in the kitchen and just froze in panic. There were 2 fire extinguishers within about 5 feet but my mind didn’t ‘move.’
While I am not stupid and *usually* react well in an emergency (all heads turn to me when there are broken bones or blood) this time I became paralyzed. Rather than put it out (duh), I frantically called 911 and got all the critters out in a stupid daze.
In hindsight, I go over all the ‘should have dones’ and ‘I knew betters’ (like grab an extinguisher and save the kitchen!) but the ‘connection’ wasn’t made at the time.
So, YES, an 11 year-old absolutely CAN shut down in a situation like that even though they’ve been taught all the Stranger-Danger stuff.

(PS - no one was hurt and Santa is bringing a brand new updated kitchen this year!)

HOW STUPID CAN YOU BE, OBVIOUSLY, THIS GIRL BEING MOLESTED MEANS IT'S NOT SAFE, IT SHOULD ALSO POINT OUT HOW MANY PREDITOR'S THERE ARE, THEY ARE EVERYWHERE. HOW COULD THOSE IDIOTS VOTE YES, IT'S SAFE? Whoa, you need to up your dosage!

Thank goodness nobody was hurt & Santa is bringing that new kitchen! I still think that a person can scare you into being silent. I have not kept up with this story so I don’t know the outcome but I can see a child freezing. Stick a gun or knife in my side or say something to terrify me & I am sure I would freeze up. Its easy to stay I would do this..Or my child would never let it happen. Hopefully not but you don’t know what you will do until it happens IMHO. Merry Christmas & enjoy the new kitchen!

To: Scythian
HOW COULD THOSE IDIOTS VOTE YES, IT'S SAFE?because there are thousands of minors who travel unaccompanied every year, and nothing happens to them? that fact would pretty much prove that yes is the correct answer, would it not?
