Well to be honest I haven't grown up with paedo paranoia because I have always known there in no more now than there was when I was a child but it wasn't reported in my day.
In the old days you always knew not to go near that bloke who lives down that street.
It's not paedos I am paranoid about....my boys not daft enough to go about with strangers etc, I am paranoid about the drug and gang scenes.....which is totally irrational as I live in a place where that simply doesn't exist to any real extent, but my own childhood feeds that paranoia. It doesn't manifest itself very much though because the wife just tells me to quit being stupid I don't live in the ghetto anymore....she is right.
All the nanny stuff and surveillance does do my head in though.......
