I don't think it's ignorance or naivity on my part. It's anger. I'm angry at all perps! I think anyone who's been hurt knows enough to choose not to hurt another person. We aren't robots. We choose to do the things we do.

Adults know the law and know counseling is available. All adults are accountable!

AMEN!! - hear hear...... I for one agree with what you said, for I have gone thru some unspeakable sexual abuse and the last thing I would ever want to do is to inflict that same type of pain onto another innocent child.

I took responsibility for my actions (making sure it did not happen) and got the help I needed - I stopped the cycle!

LoVe,
Rhapsody - ((( hugs )))

P.S.
Now - unless the abused seek help - they have a higher chance of repeating the abuse cycle, for they enter the realm of "Trauma Bonding" - doing that same thing that they hate and despise as a way of crying out for help.... freedom from their own inner pain.
