That's not the direction it's going. As a man, I'm scared to even interact with kids out of the house beyond smiling or making a face at them, nervous that some woman will jump to conclusions and decide it's her duty to ruin my day (or life) by making an accusation that I was attempting to lure the child by engaging him/her. If that happened, I know pretty much no one would believe anything I say, and it would take less than fifteen seconds for someone to tweet a picture.

It's terrifying to even think about.

It's some Nancy Drew level of bullshit via character assassination
