I also think that there just isn't the research being done on female pedophiles. For some reason, scientists have seemed (to me) in the past to think that only the physical abuse that a male can submit a female to, is bad. Of course, with education, everyone is becoming more aware and watchful.

Maybe also, since females have been the main "provider" of nurture, while the incidence or availability of incidents for neglect is more, many ppl don't count neglect as abusive, which of course, it is.

Even failing to buckle a child into a car seat is neglect. Keeping a child up when it's nap time, or past time for bed, is neglect.

Any neglect/abuse that occurs in the home gives fodder for the online predator to capitalize upon, making them "better" than life at home..etc.
