FOX: Keep your children away from men in costumes
Humour aside, Fox's stupid scaremongering is actually damaging. The reality is that the people you have to watch out for are trusted and close. They are your neighbours, brothers, husbands, boyfriends, in-laws, uncles, friends, babysitters, sport coaches and piano teachers. You trust them with your children regularly and have no worries leaving them alone for extended periods.
If parents believe the media, that the biggest threat is from strangers 'out there' on the streets getting their jollies from simply being near a child, then they will more likely miss real abuse going on right under their noses.
Besides that, if I ever had anyone pegged for a pedo, it would be Bill O'Reilly.
