Because that is the topic of this post.<br /><br />For the sake of open dialogue, I have published your comment, but I am making it clear that sexual abuse of children, along with every other type of abuse to children--which I did discuss--will perhaps never be eliminated, but it absolutely must not be tolerated. There is never an instance when any sexual activity with a prepubescent child would not be abuse or would ever be excusable. I will not print anything further that you write in an attempt to justify sexual activity with children. <br /><br />Thank you, Shellyshellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13000853333502699643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713544301131240733.post-48292015859482279932013-06-30T05:00:14.233-07:002013-06-30T05:00:14.233-07:00How about looking at the fact that children take t...How about looking at the fact that children take the least damage from *sexual* abuse than from all other forms of abuse? Why have an emphasis at all on sexual abuse? If you want people to learn some facts, start sharing what is true. We need to "get over" the drama about sex involving children to get any further. There are naturally already several studies on this. I don't like the way you try to divert things into the families being the true risks to a child. And a person who stands close to a child is even more likely to also share a loving affection towards them, rather than just using power to take advantage of the child and really abuse them that way. It's too one-dimensional to only think that the sex must be the real evil in a child's world. When it's the most natural thing. So deal with what *abuse* is instead. We'll, again, never get anywhere if we can't separate love from abuse. And truthfully, it's not always abuse just because the child knows the "offender". It's even more so a tragedy if the person so close to the child has to be demonized for doing something they both enjoyed. Intergenerational sexuality is in the human biology and can't be eliminated in any sense, ever.<br /><br />I think you need to start thinking about this when you write your articles, or IMO you lose a terrible amount of credibility and insight. I mean, you should be read up on all this, yes?<br />Sex doesn't hurt children. It doesn't matter if the so called offender is family, a close friend, or a stranger.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
