contributed to make pedophilia the #1 vicious crime, surpassing rape in most consciences
It is rape. Children are not able to consent.
What makes the rape of a child seen as worse as the rape of an adult, is that children are vulnerable in every sense of the word; physically, emotionally, financially, and sexually.
Everyone has been a child so they are able to empathize, and we are “programmed” to want to protect them.
Edit: I am talking about people who act on their pedophilia by abusing children.
The post is about crimes related to pedophilia, and the crimes all involve harming children. The thoughts inside of someone’s head are not crimes.
