What a momentously insensitive leap. I hope that if you have children, they are never groomed by the boyfriend of a family friend so you don’t have to eat your own words.
I have a child, and they're not spending time alone with boyfriends of family friends.
I’m not sure you understand what grooming is.
I'm pretty sure at 14 I was able to do many stupid things my parents didn't know about or couldn't stop.
And how old is that child? If they're in their teens and you can guarantee you know everything they are up too, well, let's just say your child will resent the hell out of you one day.
My daughter's 12, lives with her mom, and is just now starting to turn against her iron grip.
