Letter: What children need from men
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.ANGELA NEUSTATTER'S article 'Should men work with children?' (25 April), in which I was quoted, did not make clear that my concern about men working with children is both for the children and for the teachers. My husband, a teacher for 22 years, always travels with a female teacher when taking children on school journeys. Perhaps this is a sad reflection on our times, but I prefer to think that it is wise.
Most sex abusers never had a good relationship with any man and we do desperately need good male role models for children.
