I have not seen that.

I have seen that.  Most parents will get emotional if they think someone is
"after" their child.  Duh.

No, but a racial slur is a slur pointed at something the person was born
with (i.e. their race) and not something they decided to do.  It also is
not criminal.  Being a groomer is nothing like a race you are born into, it is
something they decide to do, and is also criminal.

Apples and oranges.
