Believe me, @Lucy it wasn't easy with me when I was twelve years old myself and other kids' parents worries something might happened to any child from eight to fourteen years old whether getting hurt or getting into trouble with VILE.
I know we stopped these long ago but I've been thinking about a question that @Patty had for me. While there wasn't just ONE incident that lead to her bad anxiety I think it might have been due to several factors.
1) being in a military family setting.
2) being a fearful child in general (she had a LOT of separation anxiety with her mom.)
3) being intimidated by some men in general. (less intimidated by women in charge LOL)
