(108,977 posts)It all depends on the set-up, obviously. And a coach would not be alone -- he'd be with kids.
So my question was what a man would do if he thought there was only a man in the ladies' room. Would he send his 10 year old daughter in by herself? Or would he hesitate? Or just have her wait till that person left or more females walked in?
We were staying in Nevada at a time when a little girl got raped and killed by a man in a casino/hotel restroom. It was a slightly different situation, because the girl went in first, followed by a man. It was caught on the hotel security camera.
Yes, this kind of thing is rare. But parents protect their children from rare circumstances all the time. I've never heard a father say he would send his daughter into a ladies room that was unoccupied except for someone who appeared male. No matter how idealistic.

LAS VEGAS, Nev., May 28 A 7-year-old girl was raped and strangled in a hotel-casino, apparently by a young man who was captured on a surveillance videotape after following her into a women's bathroom.
The body of the girl, Sherrice Iverson, was discovered inside a locked corner stall in the bathroom at the Primadonna Casino in Primm, about 40 miles from Las Vegas.
