Replies to '04/25 Confronting Grandpa'

A lot of very tragic stories have been posted on these message boards.  I'm concerned (and yes, concerned, not accusatory or trying to prove anyone wrong) by the number of adults molested as children, who vow that their children will never be left alone one minute with their former abusers.  I just don't think that anyone can be vigilant enough to prevent something like this from happening.  It can only take a second.  I know that these parents want to spare their children the pain they suffered, but this approach seems like playing with fire.  I don't have the answer, if indeed there is one to be had, but cutting ties might be the only way to ensure your children's safety.
