Ask Dr. Helen: Should Men Be Kicked Out of the Church Nursery?
I understand the fear that people have about children being abused. I feel that too many are letting their fears take over their common sense. To deny children the interaction with good, caring men is down right scary, we are relegating men to the role of sperm donor, and cash cow which is very detrimental to the overall well being of our children and our men. I have worked with children for most of my life and feel that men are needed and important in all of our lives, babies,toddlers, young children, tweens, teenagers and young adults all do better with good, strong, caring male role models. Do back ground checks on all people who work with anyone, the elderly can be abused also, and then let them prove their worth. Yes there might be some abuse but there is so much more good that can be done that it is worth the risk in my opinion. We need to quit throwing out the baby with the bath water and let the good men back into all of our lives, they do much more good than harm.
