Individual responsibility for adults attracted to children

Many sexual abuse prevention articles are written to parents aside of pedophiles. This one is written to pedophiles, by a pedophile, as well as all adult sexually attracted to children. It is good to be aware of such an attraction, as it could mean life or death for a child you may cross paths with.

Most child sexual abuse is locational in terms of adult sexual entitlement, meaning it happens in a location the abuser becomes acclimated to, meaning the perpetrator abuses children where they feel safe doing so with impunity, usually when alone with a child or in a tolerant domestic or work environment towards the abuse.

The main excuse for a child sexual predator is "I was in the wrong place, at the wrong time". Why were you even there? While we're at it, why were you drinking so much? Why were you doing so many drugs? Yes, these are all factors into a childhood sexual assault, but the individual adult attracted to children has the power to avoid all of them. It doesn't just "come out". You have to want to be there, and you have to want to be there for a specific purpose.

I myself was acclimated for a couple of years at a local swimming pool, and engaged in antisocial "flirt" behaviors towards children, offending them with my sexually entitled intent, thus abusing them with adult fornication. Thankfully, a child set a clear boundary where I resisted interacting with any child without their cue and consent. One can de-acclimate oneself from an environment by way of want avoidance and re-channeling sexual thoughts and fantasies away from children. 

There is no biblical command against sexual fantasy to children, and the religious authorities in the Early Church recommended sexual fantasy to pedophiles. The Greek root word commonly translated "lust" or "inordinate affection" is επιθυμέω (Latin: epithumeo) and refers not merely to sexual desire, but to sexual desire to the point of taking the first steps to fornicate with a child. The Greek root word commonly translated "fornication" is πορνεία (Latin: porneia) and refers to sexual entitlement hitting the child, meaning impacting the child in some way, with any sexual contact being a fraudulent marriage. There are three forms of fornication - rape/sexual assault, fraudulent marriage, or obscenity. Fornication must involve another person for it to be officially fornication, meaning pedophiles can fantasize sexually about children, and not commit any sort of sexual sin, and if that is the only way you can go, why not go that way on your own?

Collective responsibility is a thing of the past, meaning we are not all responsible for enabling abusers by some inaction of ours. At-risk adults are responsible for their own actions, as individuals, meaning if an adult rapes or abuses a child, it is their responsibility and theirs alone. It's called getting out of there because you are about to do something wrong. An adult should never be alone with any child, let alone a child they are attracted to. Sexually entitled adults who make foolhardy decisions in where they relate to children end up sexually abusing children. All one can do for sure is disenable abusers by way of pro-social non-association. It says in 1 Corinthians 5:11 KJV:

But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.

All of these apply to sexual predators of children, but especially the first and the last counts. Cut ties with someone who abuses a child in any way, meaning imposes parental entitlement on them, which is the source of child sexual abuse. Parental entitlement is wanting things from or of children to the point of imposition, with all child abuse coming from the same entitled place. Do not associate with known child abusers until they turn themselves in. Shunning entitled abusers sends them down until they hit bottom, and then they can seek help. More mental health supports should be available for pedophilia and other attraction to children in the United States.

Let the depraved and defiled adult fornicators of children BURN! Repent!
