At the 1:45 mark Cassie says we live in a different world I beg to differ. We do not live in a different world, we live in the same world. We've just learned to talk about it and these things are being brought up a lot more now than they did in the past.
I usually agree with Bert in the sense. That kids should learn to do hard things and that life isn't always fair, and all that, but sexual assault is not one of those areas of life that you just should get over like it's a life experience you need to deal with.
I was 15 when a friend's older brother tried to crawl into bed with me... it was freaking traumatizing...its not a small percentage I never told my parents or anyone really I only ever told my husband when I was married. I can't imagine how many kids it has happened too but it was never reported.
100%
Many of these cases aren’t reported.
Young children are afraid to speak out on it. Especially those that come from unstable homes.
@@seadragon1456or religious families. I was taught about sin, not consent so I thought I was a sinner and going to hell and told no one.
I'm so sick of people saying it's a different time. These sickos have always been around, no one talked about it. I'm 55 and was a victim many times starting at 4.
I grew up like this. My parents had the same rule. My siblings and I were never allowed to have sleep overs unless it was at our house. We weren't even allowed sleep overs at cousins Houses. It was either our house or at grandma's house. And we grew up just fine and understood once we were older and it was explained to us. Now I will be doing the same with my children 😊
I wish that would’ve happened with us. Our cousin was the perpetrator against myself and my other girl cousins. You’d never think it would be someone so close…bust 8x out of 10, it is!
Growing up I wasn't allowed to sleep over anyone's house and I didn't understand it because it wasn't properly explained. But as I got older, especially as an adult I understand it so much and I respect it. My children aren't sleeping over anyone's house and I don't want anyone's child sleeping over at my house. It's disturbing that Bert's family member wasn't enough for him to want to be cautious. We should be protecting children with every fiber in our bodies. I was molested by my sister, who was molested by my brother, who was molested by an uncle. You can't trust people, not even family and not other kids.
You don’t know what goes on in anybody’s house 🏠
You don’t know what goes on in anybody’s house 🏠
But don’t you think other parents could say the same about you? “Only at MY house” I think very trusted friends are fine.
Even if you know someone for years, it could still happen. most of the time its a family member
I have male friends
My siblings and I weren’t safe in our own home. Neither weren’t cousins. My oldest brother molested me and my siblings getting my next oldest brother to start molesting us as well. Turns out years lady that he had done the same to my cousins.
I was molested by my cousin when I was 9yrs old when slept over their house. My husband was sexually assaulted by his babysitter’s daughter when he had to stay over for almost a year. So yeah I’ll always be leery about my kids spending the night anywhere!
I'm sorry that happened to u.
It is reported that 1 of 3 girls and 1 of 6 boys will be sexually assaulted before they turn 18. Think on that. It’s way more rampant than we think.
We need to teach better sexual health in school, including consent, and what to do if you are assaulted. Assaults will go down, although not be eliminated.
Yes I agree! There needs to be a bigger discussion on what assault is because I think people hear the word assault and think something very violent and forceful when it could be something that is way more sneaky, quiet, and manipulating ... but still ASSULT.
I mean, you might as well not let them ever even go to any friend's house if that's the way you feel. Any & every single bad thing that could happen to your child can occur whether it's a play date after school or a slumber party. Bad people do not wait for it to be dark.
In a Mexican household… unfortunately it’s safe not to do it AT ALL. And parents ignore it, I experienced it first hand
Bert is not in touch with reality
I wouldn't say that this is common but I wouldn't say that it is uncommon. The only thing though is that it can be quite literally anyone...including members of your own family and anyone that is considered part of the village that is raising your child...church, group leaders, coaches, etc...sickening to think just how pervasive pedophilia is...
You can ever know the percentage kids who get hurt and you can actually never really know people even though you think you do. Many people thought Ted Bundy was just the nicest guy
I never let my kids go over to sleepovers..my house or nothing. They are 33 n 30 now.
We've a case I'm the UK where a 11 year old girl was murdered sleeping over at a friends house along with her friend,(11) her friends brother(13) and the friends mum by the man her friends mum was in a relationship with.
What does Bert mean “how much can you protect?”
Obviously as much as you are willing to protect your own child.
Usually I’m in agreement with him lol, but idk why that statement doesn’t sir right with me.
We have to understand that life isn’t like it used to be 20 years ago.
Although, yeah there has been molestation sense the beginning of time, but the world is so evil these days, and with the interment, these child predators are only adding fuel to their sick minds, making there “impulse’s” unmanageable,
(Never will I make an excuse for their actions, I believe it’s the worst crime one can commit)
It's camera on them and there phone on them all time
That is definitely the best case scenario for taking precquestions including cameras in the hallway where bathrooms are located
Folks could say the same about you Cassie. 🙄
Some people choose to live in a it or that will never happen to my child bubble. If you as a parent have a child and that child wants to go to a sleepover then ask questions!! One option is to allow your child to go but the child doesn't spend the night. You and your child return the next morning for breakfast. There are and have been many instances of molestation that occur at sleepovers.
The risk is too great. I can give you five examples of tragedy. All of them with close friends or relatives. Trusted relatives.
Soooooooooo, what’s stopping something from happening at Cassie house??? Shoot, she could do something to the kids because by her own logic, you never know.
I don't think the small chances of this happening is a risk I am willing to take.
And protecting them from being molested IS something we should at all cost do. Is something that hurts you FOREVER.
And no, not at my house either. You don't know what those kids are learning in their house and what they will introduce yours to.
None negotiable.
the Bert guy is disgusting
