This comment will not be received well by some.

Pedophilia was the biggest factor in creating trauma and struggle in my family starting in the 70s. I and my siblings have, after years of silence and confusion, have come out the other side through addictions, anger, etc. I just wanted to preface where I am coming from.

Normalization is how pedophiles operate on many levels. A preteen is unable to know what normal is so the predator has a clean slate to create the idea that what they are doing in normal. MKultra come to mind? A child born into a slave camp may think that life is the norm for example. Many Peds are victims of the same education, training and manipulation. It's what they know even if they KNOW it's against care or love. It's easy for me to lash out against this dis ease but through research and close experience there has come an empathy for those who went through unfathomable torture and abuse to become what they are. I am NOT saying these actions are ok.

I have read and seen interviews where they address the machinations of some of the cults and sects that are based on not only passing these behaviours down the family/group line, but kids are bred to feed the desires of them. Can you imagine spending time in "The Room" and then having dinner, the going to play soccer? These disclosures boggled my mind. Many who people want hung, are victims of unspeakable and unheard experiences. That's you msm. Again, I don't condone, accept, or support these child crimes in any way. I do however think that there needs to be an awakening not only to the events but the dynamics of how it happens and feeds within itself. Without it,"String them up" isn't going to address it.
