Use it wisely

By armywife980 - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff

Today, after teaching my 4 year-old son about the concept of "Stranger Danger," we had gone to a park full of people. When I walked up to him to tell him we had to leave, he ran, screaming, "Stranger! Don't touch me!" FML

Stranger danger is a joke. The real danger is from parent, friends of parents, teachers, coaches, and other who work with kids.

"I'm not a pervert! I'm just looking for a Turboman doll!"

lol what did you tell him. You should have said that people he doesn't know are strangers or maybe he was just being difficult little boys can be like that sometimes I would know I'm a preschool teacher

To the people saying that kids are more likely to be harmed/molested by someone they know, yes that's true. But that's another conversation parents need to have with their kids (about how no-one has the right to touch them, etc). It doesn't mean they shouldn't also teach them not to talk to or go somewhere with strangers.

Too bad that when I was young all they knew about was stranger danger. My parents/teachers never even mentioned someone you knew.
