Answer 5

This is just getting stupid.

A female teacher in the USA hugged a 6 year old boy who was crying because he had fallen over and grazed his knee, and she was had up for abuse.

On the other hand, a kid of a similar age put his head on his teacher's chest and said he loved her. The KID was done by the teacher for "inappropriate sexual behaviour".

A friend of mine was tackled by a lady because he was holding is 7 year old daughters hand as they walked along; she said he was a pervert, but snorted and walked away when he pointed out that it was his daughter.

The school that my partner's daughter goes to is crying out for male teachers, because they don't have any. But it has got so that it is now way to risky for a man to become a teacher because it is just too easy to destroy his life with an accusation.
