    << Good argument !!
    After Marc Dutroux was caught here in Belgium, the reported cases of
    abuse really swinged...everybody was a suspect and everybody did re-
    merber him or her something..;from a distant past...!!

    In the same period, I think, in the UK there was a notion to give fathers
    ' guidelines ' in to which way it was appropiate to talk/play...etc with
    their children,...so that everybody else would be aware that he was not
    ' abusing ' the poor kid. In another way, some kind of proove he was the
    father, not sort kind of an abuser...Oh,boy !! >>
