[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s crazy how people lose complete perspective in this area.  It’s horrible this happened and everyone can agree on that, including NCRC, but to act like it’s this rampant problem with males in preschools isn’t true.  
     We have 3000 preschools in metro area, and lots of guys work at these schools.  One or two cases, as evil as they were, does not mean that males shouldn’t work with children. 
        It’s not a common thing here, so get a grip, people. [/quote]

The point is that the severity of and individual incident of sexual abuse is very high, even if uncommon. And certain institutions facilitate it - namely, ones that serve children and especially if they have a culture of hierarchy, secrecy, and placing protection of the institution reputation above other values; and do not have clear policies in place to make the risk of abuse outweigh the risk of a ding on the school’s reputation. This means that a high profile preschool or elementary school is absolutely the type of at-risk environment where abuse can happen. And yes we know that males are much more likely to be offenders.

So this means that if you send your child to a high profile institution with a lot of make caretakers … you should be wary if the school has a board that tightly controls the image and also if “cults of personality” seem to abound (“Mr Larlo is  SO WONDERFUL! A little awkward with adults but so great with the kids …”)[/quote]Once again, chances are way higher that someone in your family or inner circle will abuse your child than a teacher at school.  [/quote]

Once again we are talking about abuse at school. [/quote]The point is that acting like it’s some big problem with males working with kids which lots of stated here and realize that as  horrible as this was that eliminating the male educators from your child’s life amonst this hysteria here,  and basically avoiding men in the field when odds are that it’s still not as common as with people that are in your family or close friends.[/quote]
