I dont think avoidance is the best thing to do. You cant stay at home and live a very happy, healthy life, BUT dont go to a meeting by yourself with a sketchy character. Why cant you bring a friend? Avoid getting hammered at a party. I tell my girls never leave your drink unattended and if you do, get a new one. Things of this nature are for self preservation and are not avoiding.

Avoidance isnt necessarily what I am saying. But being proactive in your everyday life is important.

There are some scary, crazy people out there. Getting caught alone when your defenseless is not the smartest thing to do.

But if you do get caught in this situation, I am very much in favor of helping the victim. But there needs to be a private investigation to make sure the falsely accused are not ruined. And the false accusers are not glorified.
