I think it's brilliant. I do a lot of those things with my son and will continue to do them, and talk more with him about the rights he has regarding his body. I really really wish someone had written this article when I was a child. I would much rather talk to him too much about these kinds of things than not enough. I'm totally happy to see everyone as a potential molestor, the same as I check twice before we cross the road. It's a risk, and I'd prefer to be aware of it.

I think the point of the article is that if you teach kids that they own their bodies, they won't feel afraid of a hug, because they'll know that they have the right to say ''don't hug me'', they are in control. It's when you feel like you have no rights that you get scared.
