LSB on sexual abuse of children

The tone of the discussion reflects how some in our society view the issue of sexual molestation of children; they are chattels to be used and discarded.

Sexual abuse of children is apparently a more deep-rooted problem than this society wishes to accept. As a society, we are apparently unable or not willing to confront it because it is mostly perpetrated by those with means and power. These men in positions of authority use the poverty around them to lure the children to sexual activity. Unfortunately the poverty of the children’s parents and guardians also causes some of the parents to acquiesce for economic benefit.
