An accused child molester should not be allowed near his children for example til he is able to clear his name and we know for a fact the children are safe, for example.

Prevention is not punishment. Of course, this is where it gets a bit blurry as the need for a person to clear oneself should be directly related to the veracity of the proof.

Burden of proof exists for a reason.
The legal system generally works on that premise in most civilized nations around the globe.

You make a claim (Aka. Accusation) then you need to back it up with evidence, that is how it should work.

Otherwise, nothing is stopping me from accusing everyone in this thread of such a crime and everyone in this thread loosing access to their children, regardless of how incorrect my accusation is.

Which is why I said “The need for a person to clear oneself should be directly related to the veracity of the proof”. Meaning absurd accusations not founded in any kind of evidence should not be used as a reason to perform preventive measures that negatively impact the life of the accused in a significant way. The responsibility of determining this risk and acting upon it already falls on law enforcement.
