Dateline Predators Stakeout
I’m watching Dateline “Predators III”, and I can’t believe what scum and idiots live in our area. 50 people where arrested in Riverside, only miles from my house. This is pathetic! This is ridiculous! I really don’t know what to say about the pathetic men who where trying to have sex with children. We as a society need to protect our children. We need to make sure that adults can’t talk to our kids online. In the following weeks I’m going to do some research on protecting our kids, check back.
Are children more valuable than adults? Is it more of a crime to molest a child than an adult? Americans have a thing called the hypervaluation of children. Not that we put too much value on them, but that they are valued more than adults. Let us care for other adults as much as we do children.
Vulnerability is the question, and to that I say that any adult who gets raped, is by default, just as vulnerable as the molested child. We should defend and plea on behalf of all of the defenseless, not only children.
The internet is particularly troublesome however, since there’s a difference between fornication (sex between consenting adults) and statutory rape. In that sense, I think there are parental responsibilities to make sure that their children understand the internet’s value and its dangers as well. To treat the internet like a dangerous geographic place seems reasonable. You wouldn’t let your 12 year old daughter walk through compton, don’t let her trot through the slum of the internet.
Jeremy, it is our charge to protect what is ours. It is true we should value adults and protect our wives as much as we protect our children. However, just as God is the head of the chruch, Men are the head of the family, and Men should care for there sheep. Especially those who are the youngest.
I believe it is a sin not to protect our childen. I’m not sure that you can be responsible for the sins of another adults actions, or misfourtune, do you agree?
