Obviously what happened to you
is a terrible thing and frankly a lucky escape, but you can't use that one incident to assume that kids will always have a really good reason to dislike an adult. Kids do have irrational dislikes of some people, it most certainly doesn't make them child molesters or even that likely to be child molesters. The vast majority of child abuse is carried out by members of the kids family.

Yes, predatory pedophiles do exist, but they are very rare, and the fear that most parents have is mostly generated by hysterical media reporting and causes more harm than good. Legless's post www.b3ta.com/questions/kids/post144854 makes some good points about the effects these kind of assumptions are having.
