I'm not saying that I assume you're a child molester. What I'm saying is that you're taking a risk every time you interact with children (especially if they're not yours), because there's a disturbingly large amount of people that will assume you're a child molester.

It's more like not doing your own electrical work because you're not an electrician. You need to evaluate the risk and decide for yourself, but if you're a male in the US and it's not your child, you should be aware that you are in fact taking a risk.

For the record, I also find it offensive that people will assume you're a child molester, but obviously (from the article) these kind of assumptions do happen, and IMO you should proceed with caution.
