Yes, but you also have to realize it is not all of the perverts' faults, it is also very much so partially the parents'. I completely agree with Dearmon, kids know about things like sex at an early age from sources not known to parents. Whether it be the twisted brother of a friend or a person off the street... OR a sick and twisted teacher (we all know that happens). You just can't prevent it. The best bet is to prepare for it in any way possible. What genuineblood said about sending a list is also partially true, except do you really think kids listen? It is not the Dominars' job to raise the kids, it's their parents'. They should be the ones getting through to their children and letting them know what they shouldn't do, but also, even more important WHY not to do it. The problem these days with parents is that they tell their kids not to do something, but they don't tell them why, so not knowing the kids just go and do it anyway. What the media is trying to send accross these days is "oh, these sites are so bad. shelter your kids, dont let them see the real world, only teach them of the things that are good and then once they're 18 kick them out and let them figgure it all out on their own." Well, that's great parenting advice. Don't you see? If children don't know why something is bad, they won't believe that it is until it happens. I don't think that it is fair to the children to have to make them find out on their own, because most of the time it is the wrong way and then it is too late to teach them the right way. This is why I said that the parents need to be the ones letting their kids know about what is good and bad, before someone else gets there and explains it differently.
Another issue today, that wasn't really discussed in this post, is that it is so easy for criminals to get away now. I swear, they find a different mental disorder for every criminal every day and blame it on that. Well, the way I see it is that they knew what they were doing, they did it intentionally, and there is no excuse for it just like there is not way to reverse the crime. Did anyone notice how nowadays it is just so easy for them. All they do is hire a psychiatrist and have him diagnose them with a mental disorder and bam, the sentese is halfed. I think that's messed up.
I don't know if any of you read seventeen magazine, probably not because most of it is just annoying, but in the recent issue there were a couple of true live stories that were just disturbing. One of them was about a mother, who was involved in the community and seemed normal, who also gave drugs (methamphetamine to be exact) and alcohol to her teenage daughter and her daughter's multiple (guy)friends. She would always try to fit in with them and even flirt with them. And then when the boys were passed out on the floor, from either drinking too much or having done too much drugs, she would pull their clothes off and rape them. Later when this all came out and a court was held, the mother hired a psychiatrist who diagnosed her with bipolar disorder and told her to write an appeal to shorten her sentese of 30yrs. In the end she felt like the victim because of her "mental illness" but the boys' families didn't think so.
After that there were a couple of stories under headline "hookups gone bad" or something of that sort. This is where I was just amazed at how sick-minded people can be, and it's not talking about adults either. There were a few stories but the one that was most disturbing to me was the one about a girl who went to party, took a beer from the guys there, who put ecstacy in it and then while she was high on it about 8 guys took her clothes off. Then like 4 different guys raped her, after which taking her into the kitchen, putting a beer bottle(!) inside her and taking pictures with their camera phones. Apparently they though it was funny. This story was just horrifying. But, the thing that amazed me most of all is that 3 out of 4 girls the stories were about were 14 years old. Also another thing I noticed in there is that I think 1 or more of them said something like "I have never been in this situation before so I didn't know what to do." Well, maybe if they were warned about things like that happening in the world and were told how to act in those situations, those girls wouldn't have had to live through their horrible experiences.
I can not say enough about this subject, I can go on for hours, but I will save all of you the time and effort and will just conclude it right here. So once again, please don't try to shelter children, because it will be even worse for them once they are put on their own, educate them.
