Paedophile until proven Innocent

There's a growing trend here in Britain where men are now being treated as criminals around children. The government and other social bodies have gone so far as to give children the impression that all men are out to do them harm. I find this very worrying.
 Consider this; A father was stopped from taking a photograph of his son on a children's train ride by a security guard.  After indicating to the security guard that this was his son, the guard replied saying, "prove it, for all I know, you could be a paedophile." He was then threatened with arrest after refusing to hand over his mobile phone to police to have the image deleted.

Are we really that far gone, have we reached the point where we can't trust any male figure around a child?  We've seen the ill effects of this type of behavior time and again. This is partly the reason why teachers in Britain are now powerless to discipline or control children in school, because children have been made aware that they hold the power. Teachers are constantly being falsely accused of misconduct, and get their careers and reputation tarnished as a result. All a child has to do now is say that you touched them, and that's it, you're done!

Fathers have always played a crucial role in the family, and will continue to for many years to come. However, this approach of "men being the enemy" and having to justify and or prove that you're a child's father before you can take a picture, before you can drive them to school, or hold their hands is all ridiculous. People of Britain, that's my word!
