I find this thread distressing; I too have a young grandchild, and never
take him anywhere without my wife being present.
The saddest part of all this is that the percentage of paedophiles in
the community is no greater than it used to be when I was a young
boy almost 80 yrs ago, there have always been men who are
attracted to children. Instant worldwide communication, plus my
pet hate, social media, have caused this fear that there is a paedophile
lurking around every corner. The internet has, of course, allowed some of them to gravitate to child porn websites, and even arrange the hire of children in Asia. One of the downsides to the internet, along with cyber bullying.
Like probably many old f---s I REALLY
dislike this day and age, preferring the 50s and early 60s.
