I am very concerned that minors are encouraged to attend these meetings when there are no safeguards in place for them.AA has no policy and no guidelines such as Alateen.
Why does AA not address this problem and follow Alateens lead in protecting minors?

So, no one seems to have any experience to share other than hearsay.
I ignore David and refused his hug and generally stick with a large male friend who sits far from him & I ask people to keep an eye out.
The first time I literally yelled at him for 13 stepping another. He's not right, others know this.

I'm not an AAer myself but it had saved the lives of many of my friends, and I've met many wonderful AAers.
Recommend your wife attends women's only meetings, if this is a big worry for you

Lpnangel, he got up to hug me when i got 2 month chip, i walked away from him the "long" way to my chair. He followed and verbally asked to hug. I said, "No, thank you." And sat down. I told guy near me i felt badly, but he creeps me out. I don't look 50 and certainly don't act it. Next game plan is gentle talk about i am here for program, not dates, and then talk about my step grandchildren.
Get a plan
Watch everyone, some women have loose screws, too. Stick with those who talk and act with suapsense...ears open & eyes alert.
One old timer called my cell when i got a ride to walmart with a male (with history

That being said, I didn't make any cruel sexual comments, nor did I ask her out until I knew her for months.
I guess it's all really in your approach, and how pure your motives are.
If you're going to AA meetings with the intention of getting laid, you're probably not going to stick around too long.
I see the same thing going on at the gym all the time.
I'm sorry you had to go through this sorta' ordeal. It's all too common.
