Strangers didn't come up once. Rather the focus was on friends of the family and school personnel. In the grand scheme of things, I'm much more worried about the pervert in my community than the one over the Internet. Still, I shy away from pictures of Charlie where he's not fully clothed and keep those for friends and family. Also, I don't allow geo-tagging on my photos.Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02189007616883663434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-37788050782159922902011-04-09T12:31:47.900-04:002011-04-09T12:31:47.900-04:00Ken, stay strong!

(Think mommy's boyfriend or daddy's girlfriend, someone living in the same household as an in-home day care, etc.) Still, it's a crazy and new world in terms of all this.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07226691769768760275noreply@blogger.com
