Subject: I sort of wonder how one is harmed by being seen by a "creep"....
In reply to: mmc 's message, "Here is one "modest dress"...what is it exactly and how important is it?" on Monday, July 11, 11:38:11am

I think it would be more effective to worry about who your children are walking around with, who they might go off somewhere with, and things like that then who might catch a glimpse of them in bloomers. I am all for modesty, and I think walking around in bloomers is not a particularly good idea, but even if a "creep" did see someone in thier bloomers, just thier glimpse isnt really where the harm comes in.

If someone is going out of thier way to look at kids changing, or taking photos of them, that kind of behavior would make me nervous, and I would suggest that people report them to both hotel staff and feis committees, so that someone can ask them to leave, and to cease changing in thier presence (even if it means serious inconvenience) But, on the off chance that some guy might accidentally catch a glimpse, I wouldnt be too stressed about it.

ID is still a somewhat small community, and we are all part of even more familiar sub-communities with our schools. I think this can go a long way to avoiding dangerous situations. If adults in a school keep an eye out for suspicious situations even with regards to other peoples kids, we can all feel a little safer. After all, theres safety in numbers, and together we have much greater numbers then just one parent to two, or more children. (I'm also including adult, and older teen dancers, in this). A simple "hey susie, Mrs. X was looking for you to practice your two hand.... Who's your friend?" would be a polite way to find out if a "stranger" is really a stranger or not.
