Many parents think time-out is a form of punishment for children. In fact, it is something entirely different, namely a respite for parents, meaning setting some time alone for you away from child. It is taking a breather.
It says in 1 Thessalonians 5:22 KJV:
Abstain from all appearance of evil.
The Greek root word translated "appearance" is εἷδος is a mistranslation in the King James Version, with God's unblemished Word not being the English translations, but the Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic text. The word actually translates to "form". What is evil? Everything in the Bible stated as such, with this verse stressing primary prevention in this context, meaning the primary prevention of sin, meaning abuse, meaning child abuse. This means do everything you can to avoid even the appearance of temptation, meaning if you commit a physical or sexual attack against a child, all your negligence in taking responsibility and care for aggressive parent instincts will be counted as part of the crime, as guilty intent (mens rea) leading to/guided by guilty action (actus reus). The moment you take the first steps to commit any moral crime against a child, it is as if you have already committed the atrocity, and are deserving of punishment merely for attempt.
Parents are not computer machines that you just punch a combination into them. They are real people, and many times, abuse comes from parents overburdening themselves, and refusing to take a break. This can also be the case with sexual abuse, in which pro-social fantasy, including about one's own child.
Refusing leisure, and pushing yourself, can in fact be a moral crime, meaning entitlement, if it leads to child abuse. It says in Colossians 3:21 KJV:
Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they become discouraged.
The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers to legal damages, meaning the slightest of personal slights imposed by an adult, with intent to control, demand, or punishment. Parental entitlement, including adult sexual orientation due to a diagnosis of pedophilia, is largely driven by daily stressors, mixed with trauma. Time-out from stress can include reading a book, searching images on the Internet, self-stimulating oneself (even to thoughts of their own child).
Sometimes, refusal to rest is entitlement. As a parent, you need to get some rest, and find some time away from your child. Just let the kids run free, and you'll know if something is up. They might come to you. The depraved and entitled parents who provoke children will BURN! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
