I went there once! We got stale crackers and bitter Kookaid too!
Depends. Groping is certainly a type of molestation, and that can happen in seconds, in a crowded area.
Based on my impression of the average child molester, it seems like they’re more after the whole thing and not just a quick grab. A man groping a grown woman is more of a humiliation thing, isn’t it? Pedos are basically trying to screw the childhood version of themselves, so they’d want to make an event out of it.
And I know it’s awkward to talk about what child molesters think and want, I think it’s more useful that letting them remain some kind of abstract boogeyman lurking in restrooms and bus stops waiting to steal your kids.
Of the folks I’ve known who were molested as children, I can think of at least one who was groped (in a video game arcade) and one who was flashed (from a car). Molestation can and sometimes does happen quickly.
Considering I was once a victim at 8 of such perversion in a park restroom…
I do prescribe in the vision that bathrooms should be one door and separate stalls, left for women right side for men, wash area in the middle and be done with it.
It’s a bathroom for Humans, not some litter box with clumps or cedar chips on the floor.
In the old days …we dug a hole and that was that. :dubious:
True, altough proving “flashing” in a restroom could be tricky and pretty much impossible in a lockerroom.
There was this fantastic used book store in Virginia BEach, and I know exactly what the problem was… it shared a building with a dry cleaners, and there was soething hitting the perfect vibrational frequency that matched my guts. I dont care if I had shat, and been given an enema, after 10 minutes in there I would have to crap like nobodys business 
Major suckitude … so I had to give mrAru a list of books I was interested in to see if they had them or not because I gave up trying to ever manage to shop there for more than 10 minutes at a time
There’s a compromise solution to the problem of public restroom child dangers, which vigilant mommies may be willing to endorse.
Simply make public johns off-limits to anyone over the age of 12, between the hours of 8 a.m. and 10 p.m. During those times children can wee freely without fear of molesters, and parents can accompany them if they wish. At other hours adults may use the facilities, although voluntary compliance with any mommie requests (should children be in there) is encouraged.
For those unwilling to make a little sacrifice, remember that it’s worth it if even one child’s life can be saved.
Impractical, you say? Nonsense! I have just two words for you - astronaut diapers.
Before I could coach at a local high school, I was fingerprinted and had a background check through the DOJ.
How about the same for a “Public Restroom License”?
And yes, I’m kidding.
Parents, why not simply outfit your youngsters with shirts that say “I have various contagious diseases” before sending them alone into potentially dangerous restrooms.
Have you also considered removing the legs from your children’s beds so that no monsters can hide under them?
[Matthew (age 9), his mother, and Matthew’s three-year-old brother were attending a family function at an Oceanside campground on November 14.
That night Gail Gerhard, Matthew’s aunt stood outside when Matthew went into the beach’s public bathroom. Twenty-year-old Brandon Wilson followed Matthew into the restroom, exiting a short time later, and walking right past Matthew’s aunt. Matthew’s aunt grew concerned when Matthew did not come out of the restroom, and told police she entered the restroom to find her nephew dying on the bathroom floor.
Matthew Cecchi was drowning in his own blood. There was nothing anyone could do to help Matthew, although many tried desperately to revive him and stop the bleeding from his wound. Matthew’s mother would tell jurors how she softly rubbed her son’s hair as he died that night on the restroom floor. The coroner would testify that Matthew died slowly; painfully aware of had happened to him in the final seconds before Brandon Wilson slashed his throat. A family reunion a time of coming together became a family tragedy, a family’s nightmare.](http://http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art28027.asp)
Statistically unlikely? Sure.
But mothers are haunted by such things.
We just are.
Family restrooms are an excellent solution and are becoming more commonplace. They also provide more space, so they’re helpful for adults with disabilities, particularly those who are being assisted by an opposite-sex family member.
What’s a family restroom?
That’s barbaric.
How about segregated bathrooms–bathrooms for female kids, for female adults, for male kids, and male adults. Perfect solution!
Not.
I suppose it was only a matter of time before we had a fessie manifestation (infestation?) in this thread.
fessie has shown up in various threads before to defend antivaccinationists and uninformed parents who use homeopathy on sick children (a form of abuse that recently led to conviction of a couple for manslaughter after their nine-month old daughter died.
fessie’s ideas on how best to protect children are, shall we say, singular. Allowing one’s kids to go without vaccines due to inaccurate fearmongering? Justifiable. Letting their illnesses go without proper treatment because you buy into homeopathy? Well, those doctors don’t know it all. Allow your kid to go into a public restroom unsupervised? OMIGOD!!:eek:!!:eek:!!:eek:!!
Hmmmnnn. I’m not really sure how to respond to this. You’ve taken a tiny part of that post out of context, combined it with a complete misunderstanding of my point here, and then set yourself up as some sort of psychiatric psychic.
It’s so far gone as to be quite impressive, really.
Exactly, it was an example of the type of information you didn’t have. Information without which you ave no right to make sweeping statements about how I am parenting my child. It would take hours to type out all the ways that you are wrong about that, so I tried to just slip in what might clue you to how wrong you just might be.
How about we change that to something like this…
Nobody under a certain age can use the restrooms because of the inherent dangers. Any parent caught allowing their child into such a place shall be charged with criminal negligence and child endangerment. The kid can take a dump at home. It’s safer.
So why were you posting about all the reasons you’d try to make sure no other adults could come into the bathroom with your kid if they can’t even use the bathroom alone?
I think the only time someone could criticize you is if you were saying something like in the OP where you wouldn’t let any other adults into the bathroom where your young child was going in (because you’re the wrong gender to accompany them and they’re too old to go in the same bathroom as you). Someone doing that would be a bit insane.
I knew I could count on you, jackmannii. You’re simply an ass.
What? Are you actually getting self righteous about something that you’re completely wrong about?
Face… meet palm.
