Does anyone remember a link from a few months back, (from UK) that told the stories of men who stopped being good samaratins with children for fear of being labeled a molester? The title was maybe something with the word hero? Non-heros? Its was very poignant and sad.

Happened to me about a year ago. I saw a lost boy crying in the shopping centre, he was maybe 7 years old. I was too scared to approach him in case someone thought I was trying to abduct or molest him. A sad sign of the times.

I won't help children for this exact reason

On the topic of pedophile hysteria, checkout "The Hunt". A great Danish Film http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_hunt_2013/#contentReviews

I'm mildly pedophobic now. I'm terrified of being around children for long, particularly alone with them, for fear that someone will speculate that I'm doing (or thinking) something inappropriate. It's definitely sad. I love kids.

Eh, nevermind. They already downvoted me to the defualt hidden, so no one will see it anyways.

Edit. I take that back. I still want to find this article as it really did leave a mark. I mean, shit, i remember it from months ago and i know i have thought about it and referenced it in real life. So, if anyone happens to remember it too, please share, and repost, because i think it was that good ( and you probably will too)

I remember when I was younger I could smile at kids or make funny faces but now if I do it their is a decent chance I will get the stink eye from the mother.
