Many parents talk the talk about protecting their children from abusers, but do they walk the walk? Love is not just about protecting children from external threats. Every single adult in this country is an abuser to children, meaning YOU, the parent, have one attached to you.
It says in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 KJV:
Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up. Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in inequity, but rejoiceth the truth; Beareth all things, believeith all things, hopeth all things. Charity never faileth: but whether they be prophecies, they shall fail, whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
This refers to the Christian concept of pro-social psychopathy, meaning a form of love that stops at nothing. This pro-social psychopathy is self-applied, meaning no matter what, as a gentle parent to children, I am to protect a child from my evil traits, seeing the threat, in terms of view, as centering on me, not a remote corner of the world, as an example for others to emulate, being the salt and light of the world.
This means reverse plow, meaning whatever selfish wants you have besides your child or of your child, you must shed them, plowing ahead within one's own sin nature, purging oneself of want in relation to your child, dedicating yourself to your child, surrendering to God through your child, with their every need mattering, and your selfish needs being shoved aside, with parents sacrificing for children, taking up the cross just as Christ did for His children.
Love never fails in protecting children from its own nature, plowing through one's own muck and filth that is parental entitlement, purging oneself of it by choosing in the Lord not to want things from children, to the point where want only exists aside of care for the child, and the parent is completely devoted to care for their child. If love fails, and a parent punishes a child, there was never any love, but when the parent makes amends, there was never any hatred towards the child.
Adults abstain, and children self-protect. The latter acronym means that when your abstinence fails, your parental aggressive drives stop in front of the child, at her stophand. Love is bound to fail, but usually in small increments if you care about a child.
I myself have a "love" addiction, meaning I have misused the label in the past in relation to children. Love is something otherworldly, that carves our nature in a way that leads a selfish nature to serve others and protect it from its might and menace. I used it as a form of inordinate affections, meaning to unlawfully justify such.
Love never stops at its selflessness. Selfish, entitled parents will not inherit the Kingdom of God, and will burn in the ever-burning lake of fire and brimstone, which is the second death prepared for Satan and his accomplices. Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Any comment that
1. Endorses child abuse (including pornography of such)

3. Contains self-entitled parent rhetoric, to the point of self-victimization
