It is a teachable moment in this little girl's life. I believe it is the parent's responsibility to explain to their child exactly why it is necessary for this type of precaution. By describing the circumstances and that her mommy or daddy are to be present when this activity might take place will only strengthen her resolve to attend to her personal privacy and should lead into how to avoid inappropriate touching, etc.

You have a lot of nerve to say or imply that I'm calling anyone "bad people". Where do you get that impression in any of my posts. Gracie is responding to this post so obviously she's interested, and and what business is it of yours if we discuss it.

I never said she's getting her jollies, just that the procedure is not that different from someone who would groom a child for exploitation, and I can post child advocate links that would back up my opinion.

Teach her what? That the Government now has the right to touch her private parts? Today the airport; tomorrow the shopping mall.

I'm only asking people to think about it and consider alternatives. What's wrong with exploring alternatives?
