i second this because if you were a peadophile and you heard this was a law you WOULD stop, like in africa if you shoplift you get your hand chopped off and they has the worlds lowest shoplifting rate
First, Africa is not a country. It's a bloody continent.
Second, it's a shitty place. No offense, but it's one of the harshest places to eke out a living. How the hell did they verify that they had the lowest shoplifting rate in a continent full of people starving to death?
Third, there are all sorts of severe punishments for molesting a child. I'm sure that at some level they all just blur together.
Finniscool said:Like Wendy pointed out, children are more vulnerable to accepting sexual abuse down to sheer ignorance.
Horrifically, it's only too easy for paedophiles to 'groom' their victims, warping their minds into believing this sexual behavior is acceptable.
Just recently, I read about a family where a PREVIOUS paedophile had returned to society, and had two children with a woman. Four years later, the woman was literally 'bullied' out of the family by the aggressive nature of the man. Back to the point; whilst the man had been living on his own with the two children, he had been abusing his daughter. Both the children (four and three) were clueless about what was happening. The four year old mentioned in a non-accusative way, to another adult, that her father had been 'putting his fingers into Jessica's foofoo.'
This just absolutely blew me away; I was repulsed. This is why society should be protected from these atrocities possibly being committed once more. However, the anonymity of previous paedophiles in England allows them to prowl, and groom.
And Darren, as you always say, 'Why take the risk?'
I'm certain that there are lot of pedophiles who abuse children, just as there are a lot of heterosexual men who abuse women. Is the percentage higher? Maybe it is, I don't know, but it doesn't make pedophilia inherently wrong.
