Sexual Predators & Our Children

Are We Living in a Pedophile's Dream?

Rose Richmond
Daily we are forced to hear about yet another child that has been sexually abused. If not from a neighbor or family member, it is coming from our churches and our social organizations. The Catholic Church, The Boy Scouts of America and other, supposedly socially acceptable, safe havens for our children have turned into opportunities for sickness and perverse behavior.

According to Child Molestation Prevention. Org: "It is estimated that at least two out of every ten girls and one out of every ten boys are sexually abused by the end of their 13th year."

Our children are not safe anywhere, anymore. Places that used to go out of their way, to protect children, are now the most feared places of all. We can no longer take them and drop them off for just any activity. We now have to do background checks and grill our children every time we involve them with other adults.

Our society is sick. Our adults have become so openly evil, it is sad. They don't think anything of the impact they are having on generations of people. Teachers are molesting students. Priests are molesting altar boys. Then when it is brought out in the open, these people are not truly punished. If it is the church, it is covered up. If it is in the school and if it is a woman, they are slapped on the wrist and put back in society, the male teachers get fired and maybe probation. The Boy Scouts were finally reprimanded this week with a lawsuit, successfully won by a victim.

What is the fascination with sex and children? Are we so depraved and so needy for sex, we just want any hole or pole we can locate? Good, bad or indifferent? Can you truly tell me that it is fun to hear a child scream and cry and fight while having sex? Fun to see the terror a child must feel when they are being forced to endure their worst nightmare? Fun to watch them bleed and their little bodies suffer after such an event?

The extent to which we have allowed our moral values to decline is probably as close as you could get to Sodom and Gomorrah from Biblical days. We have become so obsessed with SEX, we are now screwing our children. And it AIN'T just the creepy, weird guy, you just found out is a sex offender, who lives over 1 block from the school.

It is the coaches and the priest and John Q Public or Jane Q Public that teaches, mentors and is in charge of our children, more than we are. They are busy doing this and that from daylight to dark and after. We drop them off for many activities without knowing the character of the people who are influencing them. What used to be valued and protected is now just being put out in the world to be abused. Half the time we don't even know exactly where our children are. They may be here or there with a friend or at an activity. How many people, we would never suspect are doing this?

Sad thing is the situation may have been more prevalent, for longer than we would like to admit. I think men have been screwed up for thousands of years. I think that the penis has ruled their brains since the beginning of time and it has always been, whatever was available, depending on the desperation to have relief. I know that sounds coarse, but it is true. Women have either become more well known or have become more predatory with sex, but it appears that with sex abuse and children, men are the ones who inflict the most abuse on children. Male, female, it doesn't matter, it is all abuse, if it is a child.

It may be more publicized now and that is why we are always hearing about it. Question is, Will we continue to accept it and not protect our children? Sex offenders get away with murdering our children, taking away their lives in so many other ways and torturing them. They go to jail for a little while, come out and move down the street. They are out in public and many are just waiting for another chance to hurt our children.

If you are not involved with who your children are involved with, you are putting your child at risk. You better get to know your priest, your coaches, teachers, everybody. Your children go to do things with other adults, WE tell them to go to. They trust OUR judgment! If we just send them out the door and we don't know where and what they are going to do, we are allowing the sex predators, the chance they need to abuse our precious kids.

How much do you love your children, America? Do you really? Get involved in the fight against these monsters. For too long, bleeding hearts have fought tough laws against sexual predators. Our children are the future. When we allow people to destroy them, we are creating a future of more serious issues for society.

Get involved in writing letters and being an advocate for really tough laws for this. If you are reading this article, you are Internet savvy enough to submit letters and join causes for this. Write your Congress people and anyone who makes laws.

No one should be exempt from extreme punishment for sexually abusing a child. Not a Catholic priest, not a Boy Scout leader, not parents,not anyone. The law should treat these people worse than murderers. They murder our children's spirit and take away any chance of a positive adult life. They rob our children of their childhood.

Our children's only protection is us. Will you get involved?

    Not only are adults doing it but there is also a problem with other children sexually abusing younger children. My 5 year old daughter was abused by her 14 year old step-brother. Although it was never proven, I believe he had been abused. Many abused kids think that it is okay to abuse others since it happened to them. Parents need to take the time to talk to their kids at an early age about inappropriate touches. And always let them know that no matter what they can talk to you and trust that you will take care of the situation! Great article, Rose!

    You make some very good points here. The church, and other people, have been doing these things all along, and is only just being called to account for it. We are more aware, and need to be more proactive.

    Oh how awful. When I was a child, we felt safe enough to play outside until dark, but now children have to be supervised by a vigilant parent at all times. What is going on here? What has changed in the hearts of men and women. Because sin is abounding the love of many is becoming cold as predicted by the Lord himself in Matthew 24.
