DS has just turned seven, his best friend is a little girl and she’s 6.

They have regular play dates and he’s been now invited for a sleepover.

Would I BU to let him go?

My daughter was regularly sexually abused at 7yo by an 8yo boy in the family. We never even considered that would happen at that age.

Its ruined our lives and almost a decade later it just keeps getting worse.
Please don't risk it

Not happening

Why do they need sleepovers??

It's utterly irrelevant 'how well you know the family'

I wouldn’t allow it because I think 7 is too young for a sleepover.
