But who’ll think of the children? This ridiculous over-pandering to child-protection must be stopped. I’m NOT saying children should not be protected, but when ostensibly innocent people are sent to the wall for nothing. We are not teaching children self-reliance, self-protection or protecting them from (rare but) genuine predators. We are merely removing, in many cases, strong adult figures. String p*edophiles up, or lock them away - I’m not defending the indefensible. I am however, supporting sensible reforms to stupid laws.

Yep! And the two other problems here are:
Political correctness gone mad just obscures the real problems - the trees are hidden by the forrest, but we are provided with an illusion that something is being done about the real issue.
The sort of sexual incident described in this article is NOT the same as child rape. To imply that it is diminishes the evil tragedy that raping and abusing little children really is.
