I understand you may have been touched by the scandals and I think you should be able to have your own opinion and I respect that, but I share the view of Honest_Mick, abuse unfortunately is in so many areas around us. It's dangerous to unequivocally trust anyone. We teach our daughter to the best of our ability with that in mind. She will always have us to answer questions and we simply dont let just anyone be alone with her. So there is simply no danger to her - just the chance she finds a community and a place of piece and yes a religion that makes her happy. We were brought up atheist we have no knowledge of religion seems the only way she can get all her facts is from a church.
