  Paedophile hysteria on MN-should DH quit?  (99 Posts)
socharlotte Tue 13-Nov-12 12:04:17  DH is a qualified gymnastics
coach.Something he got into when our teenagers were small.He
always works in the company of other coaches and there is a
parents viewing area. However most of the gymnasts are little
girls (there are a few boys).the jog obviously involves physical
contact with the children supporting their flips and vaults
etc.But I am thinking he should quit after reading some of the
posts on MN recently .A dad hanging round a nursery and a
headteacher hanging round a classroom are viewed with
suspicion.Are people saying this about DH too.How sad it is that
men can't work with children without being viewed as weirdos sad

there are still lots of sensible people around who do not view
men in that way, I certainly am one of them smile

to have a male coach, so long as he didnt go in
