Shouldn't that be part of the police investigation. How do you avoid a potential defamation lawsuit if the initial accusation is false? The police should ask for a list of all children that have been around this individual, and the police then go and question those families.

Maybe I am misunderstanding the process. Here is a recent story about a public school teacher. Did the school district inform the parents prior to charges being filed? Should they have?
