A friend of mine had a nut job of a parent make up a story about my friend doing inappropriate things to their kid. They basically tried to extort money from my friend.
There wasn't a shred of evidence (because the entire story was made up), but just the stigma of being investigated for something like that, and the stressed it caused has caused me to make a point to never be 1:1 with a child. The investigation was open for over a year and during that time it was a nightmare for my friend.
Even when someone over the age of 18 comes into my office, I always leave the door wide open.
