They did have sex yes, but not always with full grown adults. And ya some of the posts sound like they are bouncing the blame all over the place.

No not going to be able to eradicate it, but we should try, yes? And now what, he does time and still plans on being with her, we release him back into society, and then?? What do we do? I don't have the answers either. A lot of pedophiles don't actually serve very long sentences, at least not where I live. And how does jail help. It's a big mess. Yes I consider 12-15 to be kids. Adult brains do not even finish developing till somewhere around age 25, impulse control being one of the last things to develop or so research says. Not saying a 25 year old is not an adult, but you only have one childhood, and adolescence, it's a short period of time in our lives. I think we need to get to a point where kids can actually be kids. Not like our society promotes this very well. He might be immature, but you know after having known a few pedos myself, they were not exactly not intelligent either. Quite the opposite.
