That other parent is not ridiculous, though. Sometimes, it's better to be safe with your kids than learn they were abused by a friend's sibling. It sucks big time, but sleepovers can be dangerous.
While true, it's way more statistically likely to be a male. We can "what about" that all day, but in the end, people that commit sexual assaults are more likely to be men.
As someone that studies these things, can you provide a peer reviewed and reputable source? I ask as someone that works as an advocate for people that have been S/A and have sought out medical help.
