Children should be children, not sex toys
Raven, one of my Cotillion pals, has several pieces on the exploitation of children by sexual predators.
Raven managed to live through the incredible violence and horror of sexual predation as a young girl. It's a wonder she has survived to be the brilliant, caring woman she is now.
Please go read this post and leave a reply.
In fact, go read all the links above - it will take some time, and perhaps those of you who do not understand just how evil people are, will begin to see why sexual predators everywhere have got to be stopped.

When I hear about stuff like this I remember something biblical. 'A man is better off tying a millstone to his neck adn throwing himself into the sea than to harm a child.' Or some similar such(where's Maggie when you need her?).

Thanks Beth for the link.
I'm getting some feedback and it's interesting.
I'm still pretty damn pissed off that so few are outraged about it though.

Yikes! I think I recall commenting at The Armorer's that, weird person that I am, I might have entertained an indecent proposal from Sir Arthur Clarke when I was about eight, in exchange for guaranteed math tutelage. (You know, like Socrates, and Plato, and that bunch? His knighthood was reputedly held up for a bit while people studied his reported taste for boys.)
I clicked on all the links displayed, read them each to the end, and found the experiences portrayed in them all downright icky-poo and ewww-gross.
Somehow real life ain't like asstr.org, is it?
