In reply to the discussion: I wish to state something about sex crimes: [View all]FakeNoose
(41,894 posts)11. I've always said that it's up to parents to inform their teenage children BEFORE it happens to them
It might be embarrassing or hard to talk about with one's children, but today's kids need to be warned. They need to be told how to protect themselves, and how to be a little more savvy about what can happen to them when they least expect it.
