With the kidnappings and rapes of young Korean students making headlines...

I am very much inclined to do the same.

Whenever a man walks in my alarm bells start ringing.

The last thing we need Korea to do is adopt the utter paranoia and fear based lifestyle of the west. We've got parents being harassed by people and police in public parks for taking pictures of their own children, we've got male teachers utterly afraid to go to work because of how the system currently works (1 accusation even if total garbage means the end of your career, and probably your life as you know it), etc, etc.

There is being safe and there is being a loony. Korea needs to focus on being safe.

Tsk3. We'll see if that will help reduce the problem.

Let me tell you a TRUE story.

Back home I have a friend who is a highly respected college professor.
He was going through a bitter divorce. He has 2 children, both girls. 1 is 8 and 1 is 10 years old. While going through the divorce his wife decided to send the children to therapy. The therapist was a friend of his soon to be ex-wife. During these sessions she convinced the oldest daughter that she had been molested by her father. He was immediately fired, arrested and investigated. The wife was given full custody until the conclusion of the investigation. The younger daughter refused to speak to her father. After a long investigation it came to light that the whole molsetation claim was fabricated. The therapist was charged with some kind of fraud or something and the wife lost sole custody. But, basically the guys reputation was ruined by false claims of abuse. He was never given his job back and people who knew him during this ordeal still don't truly believe his innocence.

At least that article does not mention or demonise foreigners.
Maybe Korea is waking up to the fact that the enemy is most often home-grown.
I've seen several dodgy foreign men over the years that I would never entrust my child to. But I've seen far more ill-behaving Korean men that I would not want within a mile of a schoolyard.

I find it highly hypocritical that now they are having some massive crackdwn on peds. Talk about 10 years overdue.

And also, the Burberry Man problem has been going on for years and no one has done a damn thing about it. Burberry men are one step away from being child molestors.

Yeah just another moral panic.

Anyone familiar with the UK's own paedo panic in the past decade will know how potentially farcical and tragic these types of things can become.
