Its amazing how this pendulum has swung.

At its peak, sexual predators were drawn to such positions, knowing the abuse they could inflict onto children. Nowadays, people (any Catholic parent with half a brain) starts having the conversations about inappropriate contact when the kids are 4 or 5. Sad, really.

Agreed. I find it amazing that this is all a relatively new revelation. Pedophiles take jobs that put them in proximity to children. And they prefer the ones that give them the most authority over those children. People just don't want to believe it
because these positions are supposed to the ones with whom you deposit your kids to keep them safe. It's sad, but you have to be suspect of anyone who is in that kind of position. Especially sad when there are so many people out there who really just like kids.
