I agree hugely that our children are being frightened' I mosty blame the media for that.Re: AAAAAAAAArgh - stranger danger
I agree child protection has gone too far. All the checks in the world only pick out people who are known offenders. Passing a check doesn't mean someone is 'safe', but it does put some genuine people off helping. It makes them nervous of getting involved, just in case they're accused of something. I'm thinking of a friend's brother who's hesitating about becoming involved with Scouts. A real shame, after his years in the RAF I think he'd have a lot to offer.
