Man oh man. I work with at risk moms/kids and I see some things that defy explanation in terms of what they think is or isn't acceptable for their kids.
So yeah, sadly that does need to be stated for some people.

Another thing that is just common sense but could also be a boundary is: "I will not allow anyone to abuse my children, if they do so- I will call the police, press charges, have them arrested, and NEVER allow them around my children EVER again" and if I do not have the courage to protect my children, I will send them to a safe friends or relatives home or put them in the protective custody of the State".
