| "Any parent should be concerned if a stranger inapproperiately touched his or her S or D in a non social situation ."
It was a social situation. The person who did the touching was another student. It wouldn't be particularly unusual for a male student to make a pass at a female student if the male student were alone with her.
As passes go, it was fairly mild -- leg touching. Could have been much cruder if other places were touched.
i think that often parents only warn their daughters about not being alone with males in case the males make a pass or even attempt to sexually attack her. It's also important to recognize that males can be the objects of unwanted sexual advances, too, including sexual assaults. Getting into a car alone with someone whom one doesn't know every well isn't a good idea regardless of one's gender. |
