I used to be a camp counselor, and we were told not to hug the children. If they were crying and hugged us, we could pat them on the back, maybe place an arm on their shoulders. It was appalling, and it is one of the reasons I left childcare. Children deserve better from all of us, and that includes trusting the people who give up money and fame to work with these children and help them become amazing people!

It is a very unfortunate statement of our society that adult men are being made reluctant to participate in any social activity with children for fear of being accused, or even misunderstood. The number of men willing to engage in scouting, sports coaching, virtually any traditional male leadership activity with children is dwindling for this exact reason. The law may assume innocent until proven guilty, but society does not.Sherry Adlerhttp://www.ocdfa.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3444223921605045225.post-23572954103608018022011-09-15T13:12:25.862-07:002011-09-15T13:12:25.862-07:00Thanks, freedrinx!
