Real talk...this thread has been terribly disappointing, and scary to read. The overall text is that men are to never be trusted w/ young girls, regardless of character or nature of personal relationship, because we all have some sort of rape gene, which is activated as soon as we're outside eyesight of parental figures. You're 100% right that its not uncommon for men with evil intentions to incorporate women into nefarious plans, in order to draw the parents into a false sense of security...sht, even women violate young children all on their own.
Bottom line is none of these people who are ripping the mother have ever come in contact with these cats, so to insinuate on any level that they are capable of harming that girl, and the mother acted irresponsibly in trusting them, is way outta line.
