Parental entitlement: Why we all pose a risk to children

Many parents believe only a few people "are the kind to abuse a child". Most people don't want to believe they have a stake in the abuse of children, and thus point the finger. Enough with the pointer finger at others. It is about time we as adults blamed ourselves.

Parental entitlement is wanting things in return for being a parent. It is denoted in the New Testament by the Greek root word πλεονέκτης (Latin: pleonektés) and refers to want to the point of imposition in relation to children, which is what we are all capable of as adults. Abuse is when the child is offended by the imposed want.

What is the solution? Pro-social oppression, in self-applied exemplary format. Presume guilt in your every motive in relation to a child, with the child's perception of your motives being a guide for understanding your own motives. I myself am guilty until proven innocent in relation to a child, meaning I, by default, mean harm in relation to a child, because I might just mean that harm if I don't check my motives.

Children have been oppressed for thousands of years. Now, it is time for adult-kind to be shut up and shut down, finally heeding by the cries of our children, being convicted of those cries in a meek and shamefaced manner. Adults are to accept the role of oppression that children once held, thereby being servile to children just as children were rendered servile to the needs of adults for so long. Know how evil and wicked you as an adult are in relation to children, and know that they owe you nothing, with you instead owing them everything you can.

I myself am a depraved abuser of children merely for existing in relation to children, and I have committed the moral crime of antisocial "flirt" in relation to children. It may not be a physical crime, but it is a moral crime, and I turn myself in to Christ and all children everywhere for the harassment of my cousin and other children. I am not to even speak to a child now, and that only changes when a child opens up the door for interaction with me, and I see that interaction as acceptable. Most of the time, I feel the need to brush off the interaction politely. Aren't we all abusers of children as adults? Don't we all sometimes lash out and strike out at children, quite sadly and unfortunately? 

It's time adults took responsibility for their actions. It's called individual responsibility. Get with it.

Any comment that
1. Endorses child abuse (including pornography of such)
2. Imposes want to the point of imposition, meaning entitlement.
3. Contains self-entitled parent rhetoric, to the point of self-victimization

will not be published. Flexible application. Debate is allowed, but only civil arguments that presume the best of intentions in their opponent, on both sides.
