  • A few reframings might help here:

    • We can be protective without being overbearing. She probably doesn't need a bodyguard but if a creep is pushing boundaries a minor intervention is warranted. Most predators are opportunistic so merely denying them opportunity will ward off most of them. An ear to the ground or the 'whisper networks' probably wouldn't hurt either.

    • I've seen no areas where you've 'failed' so a bit of compassion for yourself might be warranted. Life is fucking hard and we aren't all born with the same opportunities. A lot of us had to grow up a bit fast, and if we're being honest helping others is often a route to subconsciously processing our own traumas. That's healthy enough, just don't lose yourself in the process.


  • You might have had such a visceral reaction because of the scale and the directness. We all know subconsciously that there are predators out there, but to be suddenly confronted with that reality, especially at the scale of there being 'lots on campus', can hit extra hard. The idea of this child not only being aware of them but actively defending herself against them (being 'adultified' at such a young age) could also cause a strong reaction.

    Essentially, there's nothing wrong with having that reaction, but if you feel it's within your power then I'm sure she could use someone looking out for her, and in the process you might feel better too knowing she's that much safer. It takes a village and all that.




  • Agree, it sounds like he just followed a moral impulse and suddenly there's eyes all over him, which unless you're the kind of person who craves that (and he doesn't strike me as that type but that could be my misperception), can't be fun to deal with. Hopefully the positive attention outweighs the negative and he's getting some reprieve from it all as needed/wanted.
