Funny, reading this thread just brought back a memory. My mother discovered that an adult she knew had a made a pass at a teenage boy. Full of trepidation she asked my, then 14 year-old, brother if this guy had ever made a pass at him. "Oh yeah," says my brother, "I told him to piss off and keep his hands to himself." No problem.

So there's another small piece of the equation. Yes pedophilia is abhorrent. No child should be subjected to abuse from sexual predators. But also parents should make an effort to help their kids protect themselves, which probably means talking about sex BEFORE they are teenagers or adults. There are some statistics that suggest that intelligent sex education can reduce the numbers of unwanted teenage pregnancy. Does anybody know if there are any relate sex education with numbers of abusive incidents?
