The problem is statistical.

A)Men commit the vast majority of crimes against kids.
B)The vast majority of men are just guys walking around trying to lead honest lives.

Both statements are true. Which one do you use as a guiding principle when it comes to keeping your kids safe?

“A)Men commit the vast majority of crimes against kids.
B)The vast majority of men are just guys walking around trying to lead honest lives.”

Thank you!
Yes! I agree with both statements.

“Which one do you use as a guiding principle when it comes to keeping your kids safe?”

I don’t send my kids alone on flights, but if I did, I would feel more comfortable if they traveled with a woman.

There have been times I wouldn’t send my daughter to friends’ homes overnight if I knew there were older boys present (for ex: one friend’s older brother had a reputation as a creep)

Because of the scandal of the Church - it is standard policy for the priests to always have another adult with them when there are activities involving children.

This protects the kids, but it also protects the priests from possible false accusations.

Oh I dunno lets see...the majority of paramedics are men, the majority of cops are men, the majority of fireMEN are men. Who do I call when I need help? hmmmmmm

Paranoia and fear are not required when keeping children safe. Keep your children safe and stop looking at men as evil.

"A)Men commit the vast majority of crimes against kids."

Why stop at gender? Why not add in age and race? Maybe religion too. To look at it another way, what if you had posted this:

A) Black people commit the vast majority of crimes
B) The vast majority of blacks are just people walking around trying to lead honest lives.

Both statements are true. Which one do you use as a guiding principle when it comes to keeping your kids safe?


Would you support this logic too?
