MYTH: Children are usually molested by strangers.
FACT: 85% if children are molested by someone they know. The people most likely to molest children are those who have the most opportunity and access to them.

Approximately 1 out of 3 girls and 1 out of 5 boys will be sexually abused before the age of 18. Persons with developmental disabilities are sexually assaulted more frequently by a factor estimated between 4 and 10.

29% of offenders are relatives; 60% are acquaintances; and only 11% are strangers. It has been calculated that the chances of getting caught for child molestation are approximately 3%. Fewer than 1% of offenders are arrested, convicted and imprisoned.

This does not prove your fantasy that children are safer with strangers that are likely to be pedophiles than with people who have been investigated and shown themselves over a period of time to be trustworthy. I hope there are no children or even adults depending on you to look out for their safety.
