To be honest, that is sort of creepy...
It might not be sexual...but can very well be perceived as such.
It’s not safe to say “I would love to watch your children taking a bath.”
I’m sure James is not that sort of guy. He just hangs out in bars too much.
yere... if a man asked me if they could watch my children take a bath
i would definitely punch them
it is not a normal behaviour
and in fact, haven looked after a little girl from the age 3 to 13-14
i have never seen my niece naked ever
i used to take her to the swimming pool every week
she changed herself or in the same cubicle as her friend
i was never involved getting her changed out of her clothes or taking her to the toilet
at the most i helped her put her socks and jumper on
but that's as far as it went
on the otherside
my niece has never seen me naked ever!
I used to coach children Judo on a weekly basis, and at times kids needed help to go to the toilet etc.
At no point did I ever help kids go to the toilet, boys nor girls. and at no point did I help kids get changed
at no point did any of the kids help me go to the toilet or get changed either! that is how it has to be now
a mans life can be ruined with one unintentional well meaning move
let alone anything pervy
again
if anyone turned up the Judo to watch kids do Judo
who weren't parents of the children
they would be asked to leave
as their actions could be considered to be grooming
when teaching judo, we also had to adopt a no contact teaching style if possible
ideally adults demonstrating techniques with an adult partner
as it is now pretty much considered grooming or inappropriate if we touch the kids anywhere on the body
even when correcting their posture / technique
it made teaching judo very difficult but hey
if it keeps kids safe from molesters
i think sure
after teaching judo for several years to kids
i started to think perhaps some of the other teachers are perhaps interested in kids for the wrong reasons
although i didn't catch any one in the act of anything
but still, when considering how much vulnerability the coaches are in from slanderers
i started to think why i bother teaching kids for free
so i decided to quit (as well as for other reasons, due to major power struggles within the club)
