I think you're taking my comments a little too personally here. You're making it sound like i'm calling you a child abuser. Nobody is calling you a child abuser, even if you were moved on a aircraft (provided it was worded right) you would not be called a child abuser.
It's no good telling me your age and ethnicity. That has no bearing on the matter.
Even though i acknowledge that some men would be a bit perturbed at being moved I still cannot see it as being an over the top measure. It's a measure that is there to protect a child and provided the policy is adhered to in a sensitive and respectful way then it shouldn't be a problem and I think under those circumstances most men wouldn't mind too much. In fact I know they wouldn't as my old airline carried UM's. Most parents, both mum and dad would probably agree too.
An UM on aircraft isn't supervised every minute of the flight, thats impossible unless we begin to see sky nanny's. As I said before, most child sex abusers are Men and it's just an extra method of reducing risk and taking care of the child.
Comparing buses with planes is like comparing apples with pears. Children can't fly alone without the UM scheme in place. Airlines offer the UM scheme as a service so that children can fly without a parent/guardian and the airline is responsible. A child can travel by bus with no restrictions and the bus company will not accept liability above that of any other passenger.
