Savannah, a millennial, expressed her disbelief upon learning that today's parents are cancelling sleepovers, a significant aspect of her childhood. Initially viewing this as overly cautious, her perspective changed after reading comments from other parents who shared concerns about safety. She reflected on the importance of sleepovers in her youth but acknowledged that, despite trusting friends, risks still exist. This revelation included accounts of abuse that can occur during sleepovers, prompting Savannah to empathize with the fears of today's parents and understand their decisions.
"I started thinking like 'how lame,' but it hit me... It can still happen. All those girls are going to miss out on a lot... but that mum is right."
"I'm a victim of child-on-child sexual abuse. It was always sleepovers. The adults aren't the only thing you're protecting your child from."
