You need plausible deniability and proximity to get away with abuse of kids, and parents have the most of both.

However, I was groped thousands of times as a kid in lines by strangers. And I mean THOUSANDS. To this day I do not like strangers standing behind me.

I was almost nearly abducted off the street as a kid.

So yes, strangers can still be an issue, even if parents and other people with more proximity are more often the bigger issue.
