Another perspective -

Suppose your teenage daughter met a few people somewhere. A week or so later, she gets a call from a girl or young woman, one of these people she doesn't know very well, who wants to get together and comes over to pick up your daughter when no one else is home, so no one knows where she is. Your daughter doesn't come home that night.

Thirty-six hours later, your daughter comes home looking very tired and tells you that after the girl picked her up, they were drinking a few beers and that's the last thing she remembers until she was walking home the next day. Turns out she was probably slipped some Rohypnol or another date-rape drug by her new "friends".

As bad as it is to imagine your daughter being abused this way, it's even worse to imagine that she didn't know what she was doing during the time she doesn't remember, and that she would have been shot "no questions asked" for trying to climb in what she thought was her own bedroom window, by a homeowner who didn't care that she wasn't carrying a weapon and considered her a "criminal" and a threat.

Something to think about, because it happens.
