It's bound to happen sooner or later. I never went out with the intent to put myself in a dangerous situation but, it happens. And, better to be prepared for it than hysterically frantic.
This might best be illustrated by a conversation my wife and I had about whether or not to and at what age was best to send our son to swimming classes. We certainly didn't want him diving into every body of water he happened upon. We also don't want him to panic if he falls accidentaly into a puddle. So, do we forbid him to ever touch water and fill him with fear? or, do we teach him to remain calm and climb out?
I'm happy to report that at 21 months our son is quite comfortable around water.
I guess this is getting a bit off topic... but, you can now understand how being raped is alot like stepping in a puddle at a church, right?
