Amazing that bit about child welfare organisations fighting against the science, when clearly taking children away based on false accusations is clearly far worse for the child’s welfare, not to mention the parents’!

It’s just incredible the injustice that can be done in the name of protecting children. I really do wonder if it’s cultural or some kind of innate psychological irrarionality that seems stronger in some than others. I love kids and care deeply about their welfare, but people sometimes try to make me feel bad or that I’m the weird one for being able to think (I believe) fairly rationally about the risks and dangers that they face, instead of massively over-exaggerating!

Or of course the opposite, keeping an appropriate eye on relations and acquaintances when people assume they’re totally safe but it’s actually somebody with that level of relation who’s likely to be a danger than a stranger.

It's part of the contract cult mechanism. Human tribes for a early version of law by forming contract cults aka religions. For that sexual deviants are hearded into a group to which the family is then ritualistically exposed as a sort of hostage situation that upholds basic providing and welfare contracts. The hysteria is a social fitness signal: "I'm reliably retarded and can be used as a social building block". This is pretty cultural universal, though the cultural baggage with the contact cult may produce different outcomes.
