When children get lost in a mall, they're supposed to find a "low-risk adult" to help them. Guidelines issued by police departments and child-safety groups often encourage them to look for "a pregnant woman," "a mother pushing a stroller" or "a grandmother."

The implied message: Men, even dads pushing strollers, are "high-risk."

Are we teaching children that men are out to hurt them? The answer, on many fronts, is yes. Child advocate John Walsh advises parents to never hire a male babysitter. Airlines are placing unaccompanied minors with female passengers rather than male passengers. Soccer leagues are telling male coaches not to touch players.

Captain Save-a-Ho's skeezy ship has sunk.

A Washington, D.C., pimp who called himself "Captain Save-a-Ho" in an online prostitution ring he allegedly run was caught by cops this weekend, the Washington Post reported.

Cops believe Yul Na, 37, managed more than 400 hookers across the country, advertising them on Web sites like Craiglist and Adult Friend Finder.

Men who wanted to buy time with the ladies set up electronic accounts to transmit cash to Na.

Na's handle online was "CSH" - which stands for "Captain Save-a-Ho," Loudoun County Sheriff Stephen O. Simpson said.

The Captain is being held without bond in the Loudoun County jail on one count of procurement or receiving money for prostitution.
