RE: Study rejects Internet sex predator stereotype
There are bad people in the world, but most are not bad people. Often we make a very bad mistake. We teach children to mistrust all strangers!

What happens when the sexual preditor is the parent? In our rush to mistrust, we told our chidren that they have no place to run!

Reality check! Most sexual preditors will try to have children. We very well may be cutting off the only help abused children can find. In simple terms, most children molested, are abused by a parent or family member!

We must not instill the idea that "all people are possible sexual preditors"! If we do, we may doom the children we are trying to help, because we have than told them that "no one is safe!" and "All are evil".
