MAN DID NOT RESCUE CHILD FOR FEAR OF 'PERVERT' SLUR

A BRICKLAYER who passed a toddler walking alone in a village
shortly before her fatal fall into a pond said yesterday he did
not stop to help in case people thought he was trying to abduct
her.

I'm sorry, but that sounds a bit dodgy to me also. OK, there's a risk of
"what people might think" but there are ways to deal with that.
There might be if there are other adults about. The point is that the risk
is too high. Even an accusation of child abuse will absolutely destroy your
life. Frankly I would not take the risk. If that makes me 'selfish' so be
it. I didn't create the bonkers hysteria about child abuse. Let those that
did take the responsibility.
