We live in a society where a man cant feel safe to go near a playground or become a teacher or anything to do with children. Male teachers are very few and far between, and if a couple want to foster a child they can, if a single man wants to foster its a no no. I know because I was refused. I was told to get a partner first, whether it is man or woman. So 2 men can foster a child, but not one.

It's getting harder and more uncomfortable being a man, I was falsely accused of sexual assault because I upset a child by shouting at her. I was cleared and all was ok but there is no way now I would be in a position where I can be on my own with another child, I used to be an entertainer (entertained both adults and children.)

But no more I've lost my confidence and no longer want to do it. This web site has been set up between me and my wife to point people in the right direction. My story is in the forums written by me and one version by my wife Diana so if u feel that you are on your own you are not there are people out there to help and I hope this web site is one of those places you find help.

I tried to visit your site but it is down. I will try again later.

Forgive me for prying, but did the child accuse you of sexual assault? Or was this a construction of her parents? And on what basis did they make this claim? Why did you shout at the child? What did you say?

False accusations can destroy a person's life. We all have to be careful how we treat children, our own, and someone else's. This is not to say that you in any way deserved to be falsely accused. But it is to say that people are quick to accuse, and the consequences that follow can be quite damaging.

I know that when I go to the doctor (I have a male doctor), if he's going to do anything "invasive" like a pap smear, he's certain to have at least one female nurse in the room when he conducts the exam. It's his protection from people who would accuse him falsely. Wise move, I think. Because there are people in this world who either seek to deceive, or grossly misinterpret things to involve sexuality where none is involved at all.

You're wise for not allowing yourself to be in a situation where this could happen to you again.

i shouted at her for fighting with my stepdaughter but she was in my charge at the time and when i tell my step kids off i shout at them to so i only did what i would do to my own

when i did shout at her she really took it to heart and nade up a story that id smacked her bum but lucky my daughter and my step daughtr was there but it was too late to explain that , the parents had phoned the police and i got arrested.

if i didnt have the statement of my daughte and stepdaughter i might be in jail by now

because smacking her bum turned in to touching, and touching turned in to feelling and the more police asked her it got worse.

i went through hell . and i wouldnt wish it on anyone

sorry i screwd it up last night after a few beers ...
