Perhaps us old-timers are naive when we describe “the good old days” and have no memories of this type of sexual/predatory abuse.
It may be time to administer psychiatric tests and background checks before teachers and child group leaders (scouts, sports, priests) get access to our precious children.
And no adult in these positions of ‘trust’ should be alone with minors.

Would you go into the mess that is today’s public schools?
