A parent is responsible for who they decide to trust with their child because some children cannot really make that determination for themselves. I did not leave my daughter with just anyone, even if they were a relative. She would sometimes wonder why. I told her I would explain one day, which I have. It makes sense to her now after years of learning concepts of social interaction.
Sometimes, situations are out of a parents hands. For example, abusive teachers, daycare workers, etc.
When I was 5, a dentist assaulted me. That's what I call it anyway. He drilled my teeth without any kind of painkiller, and when I started screaming and trying to get out of the chair, he had his assistant hold me down, and he climbed up on my chest, and stuck his big giant hand in my mouth to drill. It was like being raped, except the orifice wasn't my vagina.
A former associate said that the kids of other people won't trust until their (former associate) kids are trusted. That is some game of control. Shame on them for trying to control other people's kids which they might be able to do since some of the adults of these other kids are the associate's puppets. Again it's about control and shameful. Leave other kids out of it as it can confuse the kids.

That is a nightmare! When I was five, my dentist said I had a hundred cavities. I promptly bit him. He had a talk with my mother and I never went back - IDK if he requested it or my mother decided it.
Honestly, a parent's job is to be the gatekeeper for their children.
My SIL was bipolar with hallucinations - not violent, just a trouble person. My MIL wanted me to use my SIL as a babysitter. I asked my kids' pediatrician. He said no way, could I ever leave my kids alone with her. My job was to keep my kids safe. End of story.
To allow children to make decisions on people is cruel.

More context would be helpful. Anyway, I taught my daughter to tell other children who tried to be "leaders": "You do it first and if it looks stupid to me, then I won't do it."
