Can anyone be very DETAILED in answering: would you allow your child to go on a stay away from home visit - with ANYONE whom you do NOT know where they live, or whom they live with?
Additional info, added Tuesday March 25 2008, 6:46 am: We have already had an incedent, where the child was being kissed and "hugged" by a child older than self.. Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category? Maybe give some free advice about: Families? Elcee answered Wednesday March 26 2008, 6:56 am: When it comes to my children I want to know everything I can about who they would be staying with. I definitely would never allow her to go on a stayover if I didn't know where she was and who she was with. The adult is the one who has to make these decisions, not the child. The other people may be very nice BUT YOU DO NOT KNOW FOR SURE. Safety is paramount because once a deed is done, it cannot be undone. If you have to be the horrible, mean adult here so be it. Good luck. [ Elcee's advice column | Ask Elcee A Question ]

There is no 'detailed' answer to give.
If I did not know the person, or where they lived, or who else occupied the house, I would absolutely forbid my child from taking such an trip.
However, since you called this question 'visitation issues' I am assuming there are far more details to this. You will need to include those details if you require a more detailed answers.
Parents have certain rights to make bad choices. A parent with joint custody would likely need to get social services or the courts involved in order to stop the other parent from making bad choices. Where as a parent with sole custody would be well within thier rights to say "Over my dead body" to such an arrangement. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
