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.
One or two? You have no idea about what you are talking about.

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 …”)

What?
How do you know this as a fact?
And if you do know it, have you reported it? If not, you are complicit.
And if you just wrote that for a reaction, shame on you.
Yes it was reported.
Child was pressured to recant her account of assault by adults so charges were never filed.

I had the same question! I read it within an hour or two of publication and couldn’t find anything else on the subject for 3-6 hours.
