CHILDREN'S SLEEPOVERS: It's Time To Talk About It

I'm a thirty something. In my day, sleepovers were the thing as a kid. Today, it is simply not safe to allow your child to sleep over night at ANYONE else's home. ANYONE. Not their best friend's, not their cousins, not their grandparents, aunt, uncle, NO ONE.

You see, sexual perversion is now so rampant, and young kids are exposed to such perverse things at a young age, sex offenders-to-be are now everywhere. That trusted neighbor? Sorry - it is irresponsible to allow your child to be under anyone else's roof but your own overnight.

Let me also say that allowing other children to sleep over at your home is not a good idea. Today, you are setting yourself up for too many unknowns by housing someone else's kid in your home over night.

"But my kids would be disappointed." SO WHAT. SO WHAT. SO WHAT.

Things are simply different than they were 20, 30, 40 years ago. In fact, horrible acts of pedophilia and molestation were happening even back then during children's sleepovers. Today, God knows the horror that goes on during these events.

I work in a field where I have particular first hand knowledge of this issue. I would go as far to say it's borderline parental negligence to allow your child to sleep over at someone else's home. Because remember:

SEXUAL MOLESTATION OF A CHILD LASTS FOREVER. Forever. The child will be emotionally, psychologically, and potentially physically damaged for life. As a parent, you are their bodyguard. Their guardian angel. Their keeper.

Our kids were disappointed at first, then they got over it pretty fast. And even if they stayed angry at me for awhile, I would never regret my decision.

NO SLEEPOVERS. Lastly, I'm a person of faith. I believe satan wants to harm and damage your children at a very young age. Traumatizing youth is a primary goal of the enemy. Do NOT give him an opportunity to traumatize your child. If you do, that will be on YOU.
