Yes.
Maybe I would let my daughter with a male babysitter. Maybe I wouldn't let my daughter with a male babysitter. Who knows?

no because he's either a paedophile or gay.

No.

And I don't want to justify it either.


We already know, don't worry. :cool:
Absolutely, and while I support the right of parents to discriminate in this matter, I can't understand why anyone would.

No, because I don't want a daughter at the moment, or a son in fact.

I'd only trust my child to either someone with a complete and recent CRB check, or a trusted friend or family member, and being male doesn't preclude either of those.

if you knew them then sure, but why would you have a babysitter you didn't know well anyway??

Completely agree, you just can't trust anyone really these days.

Of course?

not all males are paedophiles.

We overestimate risks...

No. Not while there are still so many female babysitters around...

Please, please never just rely on a CRB check to determine whether somebody is trustworthy for leaving your child with. You don't know how futile the checks are.

Well you can't have it both ways- if you say something offensive, you're gonna get **** for it. If someone else said something like a "I wouldn't let my children with a BLACK babysitter" what do you think the general reaction would be?
