&gt; <i>Let&#x27;s not pretend the comment that you&#x27;re responding to was written in good faith.</i><p>I find little to disagree with in the comment in question.   I&#x27;ve followed the rule, <i>Never be alone with someone else&#x27;s kid</i>, forever.  You always want another adult to be able to testify that nothing untoward happened.  The Two-Deep Adult Leadership Rule is perhaps the core principle of the Boy Scouts&#x27; youth-protection program [1] --- which, it has been noted, could be described with equal aptness as the adult-protection program.  The same rule is also followed by wise pediatricians, dentists, etc., not to mention by male physicians with their female patients.<p>I do agree with Jacques that the attractiveness of the woman is irrelevant:  Less-attractive women (there <i>are</i> no &quot;ugly&quot; women) can claim sexual harassment too. And rumors can start regardless of the participants&#x27; attractiveness.<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.scouting.org&#x2F;Training&#x2F;YouthProtection.aspx" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.scouting.org&#x2F;Training&#x2F;YouthProtection.aspx</a>
