    “Stranger Danger” is largely a myth as the most likely place for a child to be abused is in their own home and the most likely culprit is a trusted family member.

        I don’t trust myself with my kids either since I’m a close relative, I exclusively only entrust my kids to totally random strangers off the Internet.

      The number of transgender people that have been credibly accused of molesting children is minuscule. There are nearly 10,000 Catholic priests and church employees that have been credibly accused of child molestation. Catholic priests and Catholic church employees are more likely to assault children than school teachers (more priests etc. have been credibly accused than school teachers, and there are fa, far more school teachers than priests et al.)

      And that’s not even getting into the “youth pastor that rapes teen girls” trope.
