+1, one time sex offenders are usually those young uns who fall victim to their own lust and are tricked into thinking they're doing right. The fact that one's life can be so easily ruined by one foolish mistake is sad, and the example MBK used about the 15 year old girl who tattled to her mum proves just how ill brought up she was, not realising the impact her actions would have.

Although I agree wholeheartedly with this statement, it must be pointed out that no amount of manners and rules will stop a brute of a man grabbing/outrunning a child. The accompanying advice should also include "if walking on your own, always check no one is following you at regular intervals", "don't walk down dark alleys, car parks, wooded areas no matter how much time it cuts off your walk home" and so on. Unfortunately you can't drill into kids common sense, that is something they need to work out for themselves, but the least you can do is help them on their way and hope their ignorance does not lead them into danger...
