You’ve all made that viewpoint clear. Just to reiterate, I did not bring this up out of the blue, independently, three times. It was discussed twice up front, only once at my initiative, and I asked again in the back at the suggestion of the forward cabin FA. It’s not how I would have approached the situation absent my conversation with her.

What I find really frustrating, as someone who was personally sexually abused by a family friend repeatedly for over a year as a child, is that the biggest threats to children are almost always the exact opposite of a complete stranger. This heuristic isn’t even helpful.
