Otherwise, you're doing a fabulous job Nick! Keep up the great work :)
And I think everyone should read this, and is why I've sent it to the
general list... As you all may not have thought about how quickly someone
can get into trouble with an accusation, and not open themselves to
liability. Really, we should think about some code of conduct when dealing
with youngsters and what "policy" is.
This was presented to me in a very real fashion years back when my buddy was
a nanny. One of the kids wanted ice cream and he was told "No, you haven't
behaved well today." The kid brazenly told him he'd tell his Mom my friend
sexually abused him if he didn't give him the ice cream.
I don't want to see anyone's well being compromised... The kids or the
adults.
And no... You don't have to forward this to our young researcher ;)
