In this day and age, no man should take any chances and it’s a fairly simple thing to avoid being charged with impropriety. Just resolve to never be alone with a child.

I know men at church who will not be in a situation where they would appear to be alone with a married woman other than their wife. It’s all to avoid the very appearance of evil, and it does offer protection for them. If one of those men were accused or something improper, I would not give it much if any credibility because I’ve seen how circumspect they are in their behavior.

Besides, it would be much easier to catch a child in a lie than an adult. The child would not be able to give such a consistent testimony if it weren’t true. They’re just not good of a liar to be able to manage all those details and stick to the story without error.

firstly -- women can be accused too

Secondly, while I agree with you that no man should be alone with a child that's not his and that's pretty easy for someone in my profession or engineers or management folks , how do you do that if you're a teacher or a doctor or in the case I highlighted, a bus driver?

Should children then be kept in a bubble for all of the time?

Thirdly -- how do you prove that the woman was alone with the other person if there is a verbal accusation? Should all women/men record every movement of theirs? The case I cited was only proven false by GPS -- do you advocate that ALL of us carry a government monitoring device ALL of the time?

Is that possible for a taxi-driver or a doctor or a tutor? Is that possible for say a post-man or a plumber or a carpenter?

how about you have this salaryman going into a lift -- alone with a married woman other than his wife?
