I don't know how my mother did it but me and my sister did so many activities I couldn't breathe much less have time to get in trouble. Saying that it is impossible to protect your child from everything. So teach them how to deal with the situation should it ever come up. My mother did and I was glad for it.
Growing up I read all those sad accounts of children who felt they had no where to run to. I never did my mom was always there and I pity the fool (sorry mr. T) that messed with my mothers kids.

I saw a little girl once in an off the shoulder shirt, mini skirt and make up. she was MAYBE 7. another time, I saw a maybe 10 year old in a midriff top that said "sexy" on it. those girls are open to perverts. however, all the comments you have gotten so far are good advice, but most molestation occurs by people already in contact with the victim. so keeping them from starngers is a great idea but is not an all inclusive prevention plan. monitor who they chat with on the internet (or don't allow chatting at all!) because this is the new way kids are being stalked.

Its called "Cell-Phones!!!" And lots of calling, and getting to know all their friends, and where their hanging-out, etc.... I have this same concern, and I even tell my kids, they shouldn't have children when they grow-up, because the world is so bad today, whats it going to be like when they have kids, or if they do, to be so "Super, Protective, of them!!!" I honestly think they should either allow, all the "Non-Perverted Men" to publicly kick but, on all those Chesters, to put the "Fear of God" in them, so much they'll never look at another kid the same way!!! Or, they should just have a 40-60 foot brick wall, of a "Chester Community" just for them, with their own stores, their own, post office, their own housing, etc..... And lock them all in there, so they could never ever come out again!!! Its a sad world we live in today, and so scary for us "Protective Moms & Dads", you know....... You just have to really keep constant contact with them at all times, basically!!

My biggest pet peave is when mothers dress their daughters in revealing clothing!!!!! A child should not be dressed that way. If you put your daughter in revealing clothes (and im tlaking about little girls like 10 and younger i see alot of them here ) THen to me your putting them on the market. My kids are always with me and my daughter is never in anything revealing. The best way to protect your kids is to inform them. my son is 4 and already knows about all of this. They are never to young once they can understand you then it's time to have that talk. It's the hardest one in their young lives but if you do not inform them and let them know what to do in case a stranger tries to touch them or even a family member then theres no certainty that they will let you know if it happend. Sometimes you cannot stop it, it will always happen as long as their are them nasty people on the streets. Keep your kids informed let them know you are there for them and take all the precautions possible. Good luck.

Monitor who they hang out with, and what they're doing. Be especially vigilant of what they do on the internet. A lot of kids aren't aware of how many pedophiles and stuff lurk online, and that the 13-year old they're talking to online might actually be 50.
Be vigilant, know where they are and what they're doing. Get to know their friends and their friends parent's personally. It's your job to be aware.

Children should not be allowed to have any time, ever, when they are not supervised by adults, especially girls. Failure to follow this simple rule will result in your child first doing drugs at a young age and then getting involved in various evil behaviors related to the drugs.....crime, violence, prostitution, gangs etc. This happens in ALL neighborhoods, not just in the inner city.

Monitor there activity's. Watch were they go. Tell them how to handle situations when they feel uncomfortable.Let them have a cell phone for emergency's. And be frank about the way the world is.

Watch them! Teach them about being polite, but also staying away from strangers. Teach them "only" to go around someone who is a stranger to them if you "personally" tell them that that person is not a stranger to "you." Teach them that if they are uncomfortable around that person, to let you know. Tell them you will never be mad at them and will always love them and take care of them if someone makes them feel uncomfortable. Make sure they understand this. Go to a library and get some books like STRANGER DANGER. Oh, and I agree. Don't dress your girls provacatively and even allow them to dress themselves this way. Make them dress modestly.

Screen as much as possible what they do and who they do it with and take an interest in directing their lives along a path that leads to happiness without trauma. In short, be a parent and not so much a friend.
