Seriously?

"If Anne Bruscino is a child abuser we're all child abusers, because there is not an adult in America who can claim to never have made that kind of mistake."
Exactly this. This is the sort of mistake people are paid to not let happen, but sometimes accidents will happen anyway. The trick is to catch them before they become problems.
I picked the link up over at FRK, by the way, where, for the past month, the author as been promoting her own idea, "Leave Your Kid at the Park Day". I hadn't realized until today, but the most recent negative comments on the subject have been mean, some of them expressing regret that, as far as anybody can tell, nothing untoward happened. So you know, nobody "learned their lesson". (I'm fudging a bit, a few of them were before Saturday and expressed hope that something would happen, etc. etc.) These people scare me. They remind me of that guy who broke into his ex-girlfriend's house and raped her, and then claimed it was to teach her it wasn't safe to leave her door unlocked. (Apparently it WAS safe, just so long as she didn't tell him where she lived.) Creepy.
