Thanks to Dug for starting his thread, as it gives me somewhere to launch this poll from.
This is something that has been a worry for me, as I think accusing someone unjustly (of anything, let alone sexual interest in kids) is a horrific thing to do, but, of course, I would never want a kid put at risk.
It used to be fine that men could play footie or whatever with kids, but I now know fathers that won't even bathe their own kids because of worry of how it will be perceived.
So, my question is:
Is it possible for an adult male to have an innocent, friendly interest in an unrelated child (trips to the beach, watching DVDs, walking etc) or would there be (in your opinions) always a more sinister motive?
Poll is private, but I'd appreciate comments.
