Not if you teach them about strangers!!

Listen I used to watch this kid one time. She was the most shy, weird kid I ever met. She went to school with my younger son. I always got a weird vibe from how her dad was with her when he would say goodbye in the morning. I watched her for a yr and somewhere in there one day she says

"oh we like to walk around naked at home" I was like what? what do you mean? (in a very nice way) She said well when me and my sister get home we always take off all our clothes and walk around naked. I said OH! why do you do that? She said I don't know? but my mom and dad said it is ok.
I said oh! Does your parents walk around naked too? She said sometimes my dad does too. I said Oh! and I LEFT IT AT THAT FOR THE TIME BEING. I got back to it in a round about way at a later date. She said that yes he would walk around naked at the same time they did.....STRANGE!!

I had such a bad feeling, because this girl doesn't act normal as I said. She is so reserved, doesn't really play with the other kids much, super shy (which is why I found what she told be really odd)

Anyway the dad to me seemed a little too.....huggy and I LOVE YOU,, YOU ARE THE BEST GIRL IN THE WHOLE WORLD....etc I thought a little too much.

Anyway I told a few of my friends about it and they thought it was creepy too. I had a BADDDDDD vibe right to the end about the whole thing. Then they moved away. Nietzche said something don't seem right maybe you should do something....I said what? I have no evidence of anything other then this kids behaviour or suspicions.

I still think till this day something just wasn't right in that family!

No its better to pretend that opinion is fact.

Its apparently a pervasive social phenomenon in the US. This is a decade old, but any one of you could be a case study.

On the other hand, we should recognize that many American scientists themselves have been unwilling to study the sexuality of children. A recent review, Sexuality Research in the United Slates: An Assessment of the Social and Behavioral Sciences (di Mauro 1995), is notable for the fact that it never mentions childhood sexuality. It might be interesting to determine the extent to which American researchers accept the premise that scientific explorations of sexuality might be harmful to children. For example, the field of child development, a sizable branch of American psychology, has largely ignored the issue of sexuality in their work (Maccoby and Martin 1983; Mussen 1983). An examination of standard developmental texts or reviews of the child development research literature is striking for its omission of sexuality. Significant bodies of child-development research in such important areas as language acquisition, cognition, communication, social behavior, parent-child interaction, attachment (Allgeier and Allgeier 1988), parenting styles, and child compliance have emerged with scant attention to the possible sexual elements of these areas, or to the ways in which these areas might be related to sexual development (Mussen 1983). As just one example, Piaget never investigated the issue of children's sexual cognition, and there has been little subsequent research exploring the application of his theoretical model to sexual development. Similarly, the emergence of family systems theory has also largely ignored the sexuality of children - except to explain the occurrence of incest.

At the same time, it is just as true that sexuality researchers have largely ignored the work of child developmentalists and other scientific disciplines in their own work. They have speculated about how theories of psycho-analysis, social learning, cognition, attribution, social exchange, and symbolic interactionism might be applied to the sexuality of children or to the process of sexual development, but they have rarely tested such assertions empirically (see Allgeier and Allgeier 1988 and Martinson 1976 for examples). Moreover, sex researchers have largely failed to examine how the various processes studied by developmentalists relate to sexuality.

A third domain of this fractured American approach to child development is the fairly recent emergence of professional fields devoted solely to the issue of child sexual abuse. We present a review of child sexual abuse itself later in this chapter (see Section 8A2). Here, we wish to make the point that professional groups - e.g., social workers and family therapists devoted to the treatment of victims of child sexual abuse - have emerged, largely since the 1970s, with a corresponding body of work devoted to that concern. After having been largely neglected for much of the twentieth century, the treatment of child sexual abuse has become a sizable “industry” in recent years. Unfortunately, much of the work that has been done within this perspective has failed to consider existing data on normative childhood sexuality (Okami 1992, 1995). For example, it is frequently asserted that child sexual abuse has the negative consequence of “sexualizing” the child's world. We do not mean to claim that child sexual abuse is either harmless or nonexistent. However, the notion that a “sexualized” childhood is a tragic outcome of sexual abuse rests on the American premise that childhood should be devoid of sexuality. It assumes that childhood should not be sexual. From this perspective, the concept of child sexual abuse has been extended to include family nudity - a point certain to shock naturists in many countries around the world - parents bathing with their children, “excessive” displays of physical affection (such as kissing and hugging), and even children of the same age engaging in sex play (Okami 1992, 1995). Thus, we seem to have come full circle. Many professionals have come to accept the premise that childhood ought to be an innocent period, free of sexuality. The fact that this view ignores much of the existing data seems to have had little impact on either the American public or many professionals working with children.

WTF!!! :eek: Then do it! What are you waiting for? OMG!
Why are you wasting time here when you could actually be helping a child? Just call and ask if they can look into it.
^&*%$ I can't believe it.

Because like it or not, we don't live in a safe place, where the kids can run around naked freely and you can post naked pictures of them online. Why pretend that we do.

I would assume your home would be safe for them to do so if they wanted to. Wouldn't it?:bugeye:

Or are you the type to do the whole.. "Oh mah gawd.. I saw his willy"..?

Oh...

I forgot who it was I was addressing.

Nevermind.
 
Locked on request of thread starter.

As to the multiple reports I've received from this thread, I don't think that there was any offenses committed. It's not against the rules to find another member's behavior disturbing. Nor is it against the rules to state it openly. One post might have come close to an infraction, but even it wasn't enough, in my opinion.

As to nude kids. I'll close the thread with the remembrance of a naked little toddler in the original Superman movie. How bad can it be?

Context. That's what it's all about.

Now.

Shut up.
Move along. Nothing to see here.
