Quote:A child who doesn't understand sex is unable to give any meaningful consent.
And that is why it is up to us, the adults, to look out for them and keep them away from these horrible manipulative creeps.
How awful would this statement be, coming from an adult, in western civilization; ''Oh it's alright, I can marry her because she is 14.'' When I see anything in this context on the news or read it in the papers it saddens me, as well as many others. And I'm sure that 99.9% of the people I know [religious and non-religious] would feel the same way.
When a child doesn't understand something, to me that doesn't mean it doesn't give any meaningful consent. It is because it's a child that the thought of a man being a pedophile is sickening. It's a shame to the people who do want to make a difference through for example, Catholicism, they have to deal with the inevitable subject of pedophilia. I believe people want to do good, that's fine, but I would not in a million years trust a Catholic priest to watch my kids, when I have'm. Not that Joseph Fritlz was a Catholic Priest but he too, for 24 years seemed like the nicest neighbor, until...Well you know. Kinda drifting of here but I think you get the point.
