Especially for middle aged men .... my wife and I have no children and I feel I shouldn't go anywhere near anyone's children for fear I might get accused of something - anything. An accusation is enough to ruin my life so I actively, always do my best to absolutely avoid everyone else's children everywhere. It's to the point now where I see children who are not part of my family as dangerous now. If I ever see a child in danger or odd situation ... I'm calling the police and I will never go anywhere near any kind of situation.

I have about 30 nieces and nephews of my own but I don't live near them ... but they are about the only children I spend time with.

Why would I want to be part of your village if an accusation is liable to destroy my life?

Even writing this comment makes me nervous and unsettled ... it's the culture we've created and now no one wants to have much to do with anyone's children, whether they are doing anything good, bad, safe, dangerous, playful or deceitful.
