[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And yet again and again there are parents who let their children go off with stranger women who statistically are more likely to physically abuse kids.

Oh really? Please share your statistics, poster. [/quote]

Women abuse kids more than men. Look it up. I’m not your Google.

It is however a fact![/quote]

The person who posts this has such a tenuous grasp on science/statistics, it is shocking.

They are distorting something they read because they do not understand the notion of "exposure" (if you are exposed to one gender MUCH MORE, which children are...of course that gender will be over-represented in the outcome). To truly determine which gender is the greater threat, you have to hold constant the gender that the potential victims spent time with. There is a way to do that statistically...

Why do I bother, when this who concept is clearly WAY beyond their ability to grasp.  Not to mention the fact that they are throwing sexual abuse in with other forms of abuse, which is also not the subject of the concern OP raised.

Let's just say they are wrong, and leave it at that.

For those of you who seek actual facts (not Trump-style, "alternative" facts):

According to the FBI, which is the Federal agency assigned to counting crimes in the US:

"Nearly all of the offenders in sexual assaults reported to law enforcement were male (96%). "
