The parents are victims as well in this case. Everybody trusts people with their kids at one time or another. Not everyone has the luxury of being able to stay home and take care of their children. You said your mom was a single mother, Who was your babysitter? Why did your mom trust them?

vic·tim ( P ) Pronunciation Key (vktm)
n.
1. One who is harmed or killed by another: a victim of a mugging.
2. A living creature slain and offered as a sacrifice during a religious rite.

Again, as I said before, until I see one of the parents with the teacher's c@ck in their mouth, they're not victims. If they were worried about being sexual offender victims, then they wouldn't have let their child hang out with Pee Wee in the first fvckin place.

I think that covers it.

Excuse me!!! Read your definitions... I'd say that number 3 and number 5 would BOTH apply in this situation for the parents. Do you really think that the parents simpky said, "Oh, cool, myu kid got molested by a former teacher. That neat." Or do you think they were "harmed by or made to suffer from an act" committed by the teacher. Or were they simply " tricked, swindled, or taken advantage of" by the former teacher.
You just shot yourself in the foot.

#3 & #5 seem to fit the bill for the parents.
Possibly, number 5. And like I said before, they're idiots. How hard is this? Don't let your kids sleepover a teacher's house? WHAT THE FVCK DON'T YOU PEOPLE GET? NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is a big difference between a babysitter and as one of the gang before said:
"Apparently, the teacher helped the boy cope with his parents' divorce, when he was in elementary school. The teacher became a role model and mentor to the boy. The teacher had gained the trust of the boy and his parents over the last few years"
My best friend's babysitter (who has a 3 year old) knows NOTHING about ANYTHING about her child except what he likes to eat, what videos he likes to watch and her cell phone number and THAT'S IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It could have been ANYBODY that the parents trusted. It just so happened it was a former teacher of the kid. What if it had been the babysitter? Or the parents of a friend where the kid spent the night? The fact that this was a teacher is beside the point. Do you simply no let your children go anywhere for a sleepover?

You are very vulgar. I guess that this stems from anger.
Is it o.k. to let your kids spend the night at Grandma's house? Why?
Is it o.k. to let your 15 year old spend the night at his best friends house? Why?
This does not fit neatly into a nice snug package no matter how hard you try to jam it in.
Nice try...but it won't work here.
