yeah, I agree with this as well.
I remember I was sick at school when we lived in America and the school couldn't contact my mum or dad and the second option to come and collect me was our female neighbor. But she was at work and when the school called her home, her husband came and picked me up. I didn't really mind, I was just happy to not be at school. Anyway so he took my back to his house and lets me watch the TV on the couch.
My mum picks me up like 20 mins later or so and as soon as we're alone, she's like 'Did he touch you anywhere? Did he watch you get changed?' etc etc etc and I had literally no idea why she was asking me all this. He didn't do anything and stayed away from me the whole time.
Anyway, a few years later when we live in the UK, we find out that this man has been arrested and sent to jail for doing something 'indecent' to his own daughter. I'm glad my mum made her judgements and could tell that there was something strange about him. And I think she was right to ask me if anything happened. I think if I had known what 'could' have happened, I'd have not gone outside the house every again.
