Non-sequitur. Doesn't matter how much you trust someone it doesn't indicate that your kids have nothing to fear from them. It's just subjective trust and when in the face of expressed urges that could potentially lead to harmful behavior no amount of subjective trust is worth the risk of you being wrong about the person.
No, Ham, subjective is all anyone has. In any one instance you can't both trust someone and at the same time not trust them. It's one or the other. If your trust fails in face of adversity, that's fine, but it also means you never really trusted that person implicitly to begin with.
If that person then goes ahead and violates my trust, that's another thing altogether.
These are my own values and views. If you don't understand them, ask for clarification, don't debate them like they are purported facts instead, though. No non-sequitur is to be found in my statements, - I made no claims.
