Inappropriate Contact

It's horrifying—and thankfully, rare—that there's a chance someone will touch your child inappropriately, but the risk is there. It's a scary thought, but when your kid's away at a sleepover, there's no way for you to control what happens. Nix sleepovers to eliminate the risk altogether, or carefully screen would-be caretakers, and be sure to talk to your child about inappropriate touching, with peers and adults.
