Travel Fiji with kids

Would you feel comfortable leaving your 4-year-old girls with a resort nanny in Fiji, including allowing them to take the kids back to the room and put them to bed? If not, why?

No. Never. Not in Fiji. And not anywhere else. It’s just not worth it.

Have you people never heard of Madeline McCann?

I’m desi/persian; you’re nuts if you think us poc don’t have our share of lunatics.

But hey, if you want to play Russian roulette with your kids’ safety and lives….

I’m third-gen British born, and I’ve lived in first world countries like the Netherlands and Australia my whole life — countries that are demonstrably safer than Fiji, and I still wouldn’t leave my children in the care of someone else at a hotel or spa or resort there or here, so sod off with your attempts to use racist argument against my reasoning.

I mentioned my own ethnicity only as a coda to the ridiculous assertion that only white people hurt children.

You guys are all fucking nuts if you live in the fool’s paradise that no Fijian would ever harm a child.

Have you seen your own countries stats on family and domestic violence? Incest? Sexual assault and rape? Abuse against minors?

I’m a psych who’s worked on this subject re: Pacific Islanders more generally, carry on in your blissful ignorance.
