The only problem with that one Slinky is that sometimes people are later proved innocent and then they would have been branded for life.

I know that most child abuse is carried out by someone known to the family or a member of the family but that doesn't stop people worrying about "the weird guy down the road who invites young girls into his house"

I hear what you're saying A-b about keeping an eye on your children and knowing where they are at all times but I've got one at Springhill and one at Moorhead and I can't be at both places when they each come out of school. I have to trust that they can make their way safely home. They have enough sense not to speak to or accept lifts from anyone they don't know, or for that matter to accept sweets or anything else (which could be drugs). We can't wrap our children in cotton wool all the time. They have to live in the real world and they have to learn to be independent when they grow up.
