So would you rather have your kid felt up or called an idiot, not fed and left in a cupboard.

Ugh. On the old blog, I once wrote about something similar. Anyway - we had a girl babysitter before the boy we have now. She was shifty, bossy to my oldest, and sneaky in that i think she was snooping, and I know she lied to my oldest about what time he was supposed to go to bed. She never looked us in the eyes. Our current sitter is quite the opposite - it's like he is part of our family when he comes over. He's like a big brother to our kids and we adore him. People are such morons and labeling a kid because of his gender is as bad as saying all men who volunteer at their kid's school/on sports teams are pedophiles. How did I miss this? Ugh.

Or like saying all hairy gorillas are really sensitive men. People are idiots. Like you said, make the decision on if you TRUST the PERSON, not the penis...or lack of.
