I tried to explain to him about strangers and child molesters, and who to talk to and not to talk to and how he's not supposed to go anywhere without telling us first etc. etc. He was having a really hard time understanding what a stranger/child molester etc. was (especially because I didn't give him any details). So - I just told him everybody was a stranger until we said they weren't.
I hear you!!! I almost regretted having that stranger conversation with Jaden. For a long time after that, he was paranoid. He'd loudly ask me if each and every person was a bad person. I'd basically explained that bad people are people who steal and hurt people. I got into an argument with the neighbor (remember when she stole my dogs)...well, I was so heated that I told him that she's a bad person and to not go over there anymore. Well, he got confused and went to school and told the teacher that the neighbor was a bank robber.
