Children self-protect, adults abstain: Why children should have the right to protect themselves from abuse

The children's rights debates in the United States rage on. The core of the children's rights debates is who would best protect a child. Most people in the United States believe that parents protect children better than anyone else. However, parents have a poor track record at protecting children from abuse. Any adult who seeks to protect children comes from a biased place, as no adult truly means well in relation to children, and all adults are biased in relation to children.

The Greek root word denoting entitlement of all kinds in the New Testament, including parental entitlement, and cross-references the Tenth Commandment, is πλεονέκτης (Latin: pleonektés), and refers to, officially speaking, wanting things from children, to the point of imposition. Unofficially speaking, this word refers to wanting things from children, period. It is good not to want anything in life, including from children. But, since we all want things from children as depraved and decadent adults, it is good to ask politely and appropriately for what we want from children, accepting when they can't or won't give us what we want from them. We as adults in relation to children are depraved and decadent sinners who are deserving of absolutely nothing, from children or others. Deadly parental entitlement is when wants are imposed upon a child. Imposed wants that lead to offense perceived by the child constitute child abuse. See Colossians 3:21 KJV:

Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, coming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and was understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including any punishment or controlling demeanor towards a child. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death by way of bloodletting. after punishing their children one last time. Parents who punished their children were charged with kidnapping, with "kidnapping" being defined under the Law as the slightest of damages or offenses stemming from hostage-taking - child punishment was seen then as holding a child hostage merely for things they did wrong, thereby treating your child as a slave. Paul here was lifting up this legal context to a group of Greek Christian parents who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishing children into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child.

The commandment not to provoke a child to anger is moral law that should be reflected in the physical law. The spirit of this commandment is that any time a child is afraid of an adult, it is child abuse. A child should be allowed to dial 9-1-1 in order to be rid of their abuser that is terrorizing them, even if the abuse is lawful under the present law. Children shouldn't have to rely on adults to protect them. Children should have the right to say "no" to adults who are threatening or abusive to them, and when adults don't respect the child's orders, the adults should be locked up. 

As adults, we need to abstain from all parental entitlement. Parental entitlement can be divided into two main categories - parent anger and parent attraction. Parent anger is so low in the psyche that it can be purged. Parent attraction goes even lower, where it can't be purged, and needs to be re-channeled inwards using solo masturbation. The key to avoiding parental entitlement is coming to the fearful conviction that you are a depraved and decadent sinner in relation to children, who is deserving of absolutely nothing from children or anyone else. When you take this undeserving attitude towards your child, you tend to be more grateful, and not take personally the behaviors of children. I myself am a depraved and decadent sinner as an adult in relation to children, who is deserving of absolutely nothing from children or anyone else. Parent anger is a moral crime the moment it is expressed towards a child. Parent attraction is only a moral crime when it leads to the adult taking the first steps to approaching a child for sexual or flirtatious purposes.

I am a pedophilic adult who is deserving of nothing but DEATH and PUNISHMENT just for having power over children. I myself re-channel my sexual thoughts about children inwards using solo masturbation. In the past, as a child as an adult, I have struggled with going up to and approaching young girls. I am a depraved and decadent adult who is deserving of absolutely nothing from children, not even respect, not even forgiveness. I can't protect a child, because I am their enemy just for existing. They need to be given the right to defend themselves. A child can set me straight anytime, as I deserve nothing but hate and resentment from a child.

The parent entitled parents who provoke children to anger through punitive parenting will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them be forever cast into the lake of fire and burning sulfur, which is the second death prepared for Satan and his accomplices! Let them descend into the abyss which is the ever-burning Hell of fire and torment, suffering God's Wrath forever and ever! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
