When my oldest child was about 6 years old we became acquainted with a man and his family. He had a wife and two sons. I spent a couple of hours with them in their home, and he'd driven my son and I somewhere briefly in his vehicle. I felt extremely uneasy around this man and the atmosphere in his home, although there was nothing overtly the matter, didn't feel right to me.
I cut all ties with them and a short while later I discussed the uneasy feeling with a mutual acquaintance. Then a story came out, she was religious so she attributed it to God talking, but the facts were that he'd spent time in jail for molesting his children from a previous marriage. Needless to say, I felt relieved that I'd refused to have my son befriend the family.
Now I try to listen to my instincts when they're that strong.
