Unfortunately, in my time, I've seen many children being hurt by adults and forced in many difficult situations they shouldn't have to find themselves in. Whether or not the adults themselves meant to put them in danger or not varies.

However, I'm glad you are able to have such an outlook on it. I'm sure the children in your care will grow to become mature and caring individuals.
