Unfortunately this is what predators do. They attempt to make friends of families with kids, provide fun for the kids, and thereby gain access to them.

I think you’ll note that I never advocated the male indiviual be left alone with the kids. Heck, I’d avoid that like the plague. That doesn’t mean that you couldn’t have the kids around. Done properly, I think men can provide a productive atmosphere for kids, one in which the man wouldn’t have to expose himself to charges of doing bad things. Just use your head.

We're so habituated to seeing everything negatively that seeing life positively and appreciating good people come into our lives as friends and family takes a lot of effort. Maybe perpetual suspicion of men is easier than appreciating all the good they do to create a sense of safety and happiness for every one.
