Disproving collective responsibility - Why if you do the crime, you do the time

Collective responsibility is the collective unit and attitude towards child abuse and neglect in the United States. I do not believe in it, per se. Nadine Block is a fellow advocate whom I respect, but we disagree on how to prosecute and prevent child abuse and neglect in the United States. I think they did it, so they shouldn't ruin it for everyone else.

This all comes from a flawed biblical understanding of leading your neighbor astray. There was a mechanism for it, but all sin must come with intent. It says in the Ninth Commandment, in Exodus 20:16 KJV:

Thou shalt not bear witness against thy neighbour.

The Greek root word denoting perjury in the Bible is λοιδορος (Latin: loidoros) and refers to an evasive, defensive attitude leading to 1) False accusations and/or 2) Evading justice or assisting in facilitating a moral crime. None of this means simply being able to protect a child from abuse, but failing to do so. However, refusing to believe a child who claims abuse from an adult? That is perjury, alongside all those who stand in defense of the perjorious adult who ends up being an abuser alongside the child, until narrowed down by repentance as to whom is working with the perpetrator. Pro-social hostage is taking everyone who defends the abuse of the child, naming them all as a collective monolith. However, even then, all individuals involved are responsible for their individual part in the abuse, and individuals other than the perpetrator are only guilty once pronounced as accomplices aiding and abetting the abuser by way of collaboration and complicity with the acts of the abuser, and only from commission in a way that supports the acts of the abuser.

I disagree with one application of collective responsibility, which is mandated reporting, thus making anyone who comes into contact with children guilty alongside the perpetrator here in Pennsylvania for not stepping in. It shouldn't be about stepping in. Child. Cell phone. One phone call. Children should be empowered to name their own perpetrator, being educated about their rights in school. If the child went person to person, and was not believed, I'd say yes, lock the whole family up. However, most of the time, when the child is informed about their options, will direct their parents to general protective services (GPS) from the county Children and Youth Services agency, in which case I actually agree with giving even sexually abusive parents the services they need to break abusive cycles and protect children from their own sin nature.

Ultimately, nobody should be held legally responsible under the civil law for "not stopping the perpetrator", as the parental rights pedophile hysteria madness exclaims at the loudest of notes for parents and similarly charged adults to feel guilty about. Forgive yourselves. They did it, and they are responsible. Bystanders are only responsible on a collective individual level, in the shape of fireworks, if they defend the abuse inflicted upon the child, whereas an honest person would just bawl and cry on an issue such as illegal child abuse such as sexual abuse. 

At-risk adults are capable of receiving the help they need, when they are motivated, and when it is available in their community. Depends what the local culture is like. Here in my hometown of Reading, Pennsylvania, a pedophile can see a therapist and not worry, since Pennsylvania law states that the therapist, on the pedophile's end, can only report once a crime has been confessed to, and the client/patient is aged 14 and older. I support this legal setup as a start, but ultimately think the child should be the one reporting, and should be empowered by society to, and otherwise, at-risk adults should seek help before the fact, thus preventing abuse before it becomes a legal issue, meaning stopping antisocial parental instincts that could lead to entitlement, and centering them.

I do use pro-social hostage. That's where adult power and control comes in, meaning adults as a collective are imposing their entitlement onto children, and so you hold every individual adult hostage, and then narrow down while using a trampleboard, marking all adults found guilty after being presumed innocent for deletion, pointing to God and promoting their evil in terms of knowledge thereof. All victim accusations automatically paint the perpetrator guilty, and all those who stand in the way of his/her prosecution, and all those who worked with the offender enough to defend their abuse. Only those who assisted the abuser should be named alongside the abuser, or else anyone who covered it up. No innocent bystander is guilty, no matter how still their actions, because some of us are afraid of such things, and freeze. Allow the child to report her abuser herself, with no statute of limitations attached. But, refusing to believe a child's moral legal testimony as a plaintiff against her parent/abuser makes one guilty of the worst perjury that can be cooked up, meaning hold all the abuse deniers hostage, round them all up, and arrest them all. Set an good and just example so that children are believed in the future, because the abuser can be anyone, and is most likely every adult you meet - and you surely have one in you as an adult.

From a bird's eye view, parents, and all adults who promote them in the course of their evil and entitled acts of abuse, are guilty as a collective while sitting in my perch from above, but on the ground, all adults are to be presumed innocent as individuals, until they rear their heads and show their parent/adult guilt in entitled format, defending their "right" to abuse a child. "Rights" statements can be seen as automatic admissions to abuse worthy of investigation.

I wasn't believed as a child. Row of promote fingers towards parents. Go after REAL criminals, meaning all of the adults that pointed to my parents - that sort of thing is still legal in 2021. Don't shame pedophiles for having a sexual thought. A pedophile didn't abuse me; a parent abused me, and now I am a pedophile. Just makes it much easier to spot the anti-spanking trauma.
