I don't see any difference between this and the witch scare of Salem.

The accusation is all the proof that is needed to destroy your reputation and often your life. Nothing you can offer in your own defense exonerates you and even if you somehow escape prosecution it will haunt you for the rest of your life.

Oh and we're telling people keep an eye out for suspicious behavior and report on their friends, neighbors etc if they should show signs of worshiping Satan . . . er I mean harming children.

Scary stuff indeed. Then we wonder why so few males want to get in to fields dealing with children.
