Folks with daughters....

oneworkoutatatime

In the south we would of stomped a mudhole in em and walked it dry. Just sayin....

Because I'm a single full time dad and had a guy follow my daughter back to me in a mall one day and she was 10 at the time. I wasn't but a few aisles over but I scared the crap outta that guy.

Way to do the right thing brotha.


Z, the protective daddy

As a woman I thank you. The father of my daughter, and the father of these girls, also thank you.

Thanks for the post: I have 3 grown up daughters and an empty nest. Even then I worry about them. World stats state than 1 in 3 women will be sexual abused. That is horrifying .....

By a person known to them or a family member, get your facts right!

So glad you were looking out for them. As a mother to a 16 year old daughter, I would do the same. There are some real creepers out there.

Someone started a thread recently saying how a young girl had been sent into a hot tub by her coach where there were 2 men, the poster was concerned so followed the girl in there.

She was then blasted by pages and pages of posts saying she was wrong to jump to conclusions etc etc and some men felt insulted.

This post goes to show her concerns were more than justified.

They are NOT my facts, it was on CBC news. Isn't the fact that women are sexually abused horrifying regardless of the stats ? - sheesh

Good grief! So glad you were there and stood up for those girls. Well done.

As the mother of a teenage daughter, thank you so much!! As a Y employee, thank you too! I'm so surprised this Y has mixed sex steam room/sauna facilities and that they allow under 18 to use them. Seems like you're just inviting trouble that way. But I'm fortunate to work at a 200,000 square foot Y, so we have the room to have separate facilities. I do know that there are men that prowl the men's facility, but they are hitting up other men, at least they are adults (they've even posted on Craigslist before, so my DH won't use those facilities to be safe!). Our Y doesn't allow teens to use these. I would write down the facts, however, and report it. It could be that this has happened before and they might be able to track this person down if it's been reported before. He seems awful brazen to do that in front of others, so who knows what else he may do.

Try this, this just the USA, so don't try to derail a parents concern for their daughters

So everything you see on TV news is in fact True?
#Whiteknight is biging himself up for ‘defending’ two girls at the ‘Y’ and everyone else is all getting off in a testosterone/ hormone fuelled rant about what they’d have done, had they been there. Or going on about Creeps, yet strangers are the last of your worries if you have kids 90% of abuse is people you trust, husbands, brothers, siblings, family friends, neighbours baby sitters, coaches and trusted members of your community.
Spend too much time worrying about where the danger is not coming from and you miss the real signs.
“They were at most 14 years old. They were both slim and wearing bikinis” over precise description after long and close observation…
“things that make you go hmmm”

Thanks for stepping in.

3 daughters, 5 hand guns. I got this covered.

My thoughts exactly! Soo many sickos out there:(

My daughter is 13 and I know she has no idea how the world works but she has always been skeptical of men. I think I took comfort in that. But recently I caught her looking at inappropriate stuff online. I realized, she was just as naive as the other girls her age. I am sharing this story with her. Thanks for sharing.

Way to go man. If more people had the intestinal fortitude to step up like you did the world would be a little bit safer place.

GluttonousGirl

This just turned my stomach. My daughter is almost 11 and is actually spending this week at the y. You did the right thing. I think I might have punched him in the balls.sick twisted s.o.b.!

No it does not. I completely agree with this OP, but the objection many of us had to the previous post was that the woman was worried because men were simply there. Men can be either good or bad. Just like women. Clearly the OP in this situation did the right thing.

Your anger about this thread makes me go 'hmm' what is your problem?!

You have no idea what it is like to be a a teenage girl, so really you haven't the first clue what you're talking about.
