I don't think that it's today's world. This has been going on for centuries. It's just that today we hear about it through the internet and all of the other sources we have. Years ago it was covered up.
Families didn't want their names involved and the justice system was much more lenient.

You have to be so careful in todays world. Too often people like this person target anything to do with schools or church activities to be near kids.

Thank you Gracie. I too had to take exception with the title of this post. We seem to be so quick to taint everything and everyone no matter how remotely they are attached to something bad.

Child abuse/porn is a real hot button with me, since children look to adults to protect them and we oftentimes do not. There are many people who exhibit despicable, deplorable behavior. Unfortunately only a small percentage of them are caught, and you cannot tell who they are just by looking at them

As adults we need to step back and ask ourselves questions when we see "unusual" behavior. Eg., the 'favorite uncle' who likes to tickle children to excess or giving the child many gifts out of proportion to the relationship to the child. This website discusses what abusers look for in their "prey": Understanding Abusers - Building Stronger Families -protecting children against sexual abuse.

We must also mentally check off behaviors of children we are around that may lead us to wonder if we should report, document or question further. We are not the experts, nor are we in an environment where we are exposed to many children, but must still remain alert.

There is a website (Abuse Victim Profile shows the individual behavior patterns | The Lamplighter Movement) which lists behaviors that help identify children who may be at risk, which includes:
People pleasing
Insomnia
Weak boundaries
Low self esteem
Cutting or self injury

The engineer happened to be working for a company which is popular with many Villagers. I am sure those at the station are appalled as we are. Let's just do what we can to protect our children.

I am sure they are as surprised and disgusted with this turn of events after working around him so many years.

I think you are an alarmist. I also suspect you may have been the victim of abuse and see the boogey man in every adult that is friendly with a child.

I had some of those "favorite uncles". They were the kindest, most generous men. I still think of them and am glad they were in my life. They weren't pedophiles. They were simply good men who loved their children and their family's children.

Lets stop with the pedophile hysteria. Pedophilia is no more rampart today then it was when we were children.

No I was not abused and had a very happy childhood, thank you very much. If one read my post more carefully, they will see that I referenced *unusual* behavior, not relatives who showed the normal love for a child. I urged people to pay attention to what is going on around them and not assume that everyone has a "normal" childhood.
