Children self-protect, adults abstain: Understanding children's rights in a nutshell

Many parents think that protecting children involves taking a stand for your child, and that protection only comes from parents. However, parents have a poor track record at protecting children. Children are perfectly and naturally wired for their own self-defense. Most adults are abusers of children, and need to abstain from their entitlement in relation to children.

All adults are capable of the worst forms of child abuse when under the right/wrong conditions. All adults have attractions to pubescent children, and 20% of men have adult attractions towards children. 1-2% of men are primarily or exclusively attracted to children under age 14, and those men are pedophiles by the clinical definition. Pedophiles are the safest of all adults to be around children because they are blatantly aware of their sexual desires towards children. All other adults are at a more heightened risk, to varying degrees, because they can easily repress it due to the low-level nature of most adult attraction. 

The main form of theology setting the scene for the sexual abuse of children is the Christian teaching that masturbation is somehow this big sin, especially when the attraction figure is a child. The Greek root word denoting lust and inordinate passions is έπιθυμέω (Latin: epithumeo) and refers not to ordinary sexual desire, but instead to sexual entitlement. Sexual entitlement is defined as, officially speaking, sexual want, to the point of sexually motivated approach. Without masturbation, that approach is bound to happen. That is why sexual desires should be satiated by way of following the sexual thoughts to the end using masturbation.

Alongside righteous masturbation must come righteous avoidance. Righteous avoidance is different for every adult, but often involves imagining things about the act that would be unpleasant. I myself use images of Hell as aversion imagery, meaning that the moment I walk up to a child in order to approach them for sexual or flirtatious reasons, I am just as guilty as if I did the deed with the child. 

Most child sexual abuse in particular happens out of nowhere, say trauma survivors. That is because their abuser repressed a sexual crush to a low level of the brain, where it came out sideways onto the child, like a ton of bricks. Usually, a sexual narcissist is due to unmet sexual needs, in a way that the unmet sexual needs come out through the boot when the adult is alone with a child. Most sexual abuse is against pubescent children.

Children are capable of profiling adults, and in my experience, children are master profilers. A child can take one look at an adult, and determine their risk. If a child refuses to go with a certain adult, that adult is unsafe. If a child wants to go with an adult, perhaps a stranger, think pedophile, but the good kind. Children profile by way of attraction, meaning the attraction to unsafe adults is repellant in nature, meaning children's sexual instincts drive them away from the target that is targeting them. When they are attracted to an adult in an affinity way, yet say "nothing is going to happen", know that nothing will happen, and that is what drives the attraction between a child and an adult.

Ideally, a child should have the leverage to dial 9-1-1 to get police dispatched to the house. Children can assert themselves in the case of any category or type of child abuse. All children need to be told is how to self-report their own abuse. Children can be empowered to report their abuser to the authorities, as well as how to reverse gaslight their abuser. Most children want to be empowered to take on their abuser. 

Adults can do their part by making the choice not to abuse a child in any way. This involves a conscious effort to confront your risk by way of acknowledging that you have a side of you that is attracted to children. This acknowledgment involves indulging in masturbatory fantasy about children. All adults have attraction to children at some level, usually secondary attraction.

The depraved and decadent, defiled adults who rape or sexually abuse children will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them descend into torrents of Hell-fire! Repent!
