Ding. Ding. Ding. Seriously, folks, are you REALLY surprised?
My father was an elementary school teacher. He was beloved, he was talented, and he was dedicated. He was in no way a pervert, abusing children, or into child porn. He just liked the innocence and sweetness of most kids, and being able to make a difference in their lives in the classroom.
Ive had some amazing male coaches growing up that got paid peanuts. Lots of men are great with kids and as you know, most molesters are someone close to your family, being a relative or close friend, not a stranger.
My only point was that they we’re men, who loved coaching and we’re great guys. They made nothing, but nobody suspected them of being creeps because they put them around kids to make us better athletes. This world has wonderful men working with children and unfortunately, some men are not good people.
You don’t stop being catholic, probably, because a few bad priests are out there, and I’m just saying that tearing down an industry or gender because of a particular individual is not good either. This world is a scary place and unfortunately, sick people reside in both genders and many industries.
A teacher, coach, pastor, etc is not a stranger.
