My daughter is 6. Sheโ€™s getting to that age where sheโ€™ll be wanting to have friends over and go to friends houses. As my parents did, Iโ€™ll vet the parents as well. And I will tell the fathers if they touch my kid I will end them. I will proudly go to jail for doing this exact same thing. Wouldnโ€™t change the trauma, but at least I would know that he would never do it again to another. Thatโ€™s justice in my eyes.

I'm a father of a young girl and if you told me don't touch my daughter or I'll end you. I'd tell you and your daughter to fuck off for assuming that I'm a pedophile. I think it's a known rule not to touch children inappropriately. I don't need you to threaten me.

I would casually bring up my love of guns and show pictures. Invite them to come shooting, let them know in a friendly way I can use a gun and am not scared to. Seems like a better option.

Tact would definitely be applied and in a calm manner of discussion. But sternly and in all seriousness. Itโ€™s not something to be naive about just to save someoneโ€™s feelings over your childโ€™s safety with something as prevalent and serious as abuse/molestation. I stand by my statement and make no apologies, especially when it comes to my kid.
