If there is anything I regard as a pet peeve, it would be someone doing anything to harm a child. Acts such as that are deplorable in my eyes, and the very thought just rips a hole in my soul. Still, to this day we are presented with countless stories in the news about children being abducted, raped, tortured, murdered.
I was reading an article on AOL recently about a young girl who was sexually accosted by an adult female employee of the school. Now I know to some that would to be too appalling, after all the Catholic Church received years of negative press as a result of allegations of male alter boys being sexually molested by priest. In fact, I would not be too surprised if several members of our society have become desensitized as a direct result of the constant flow of stories in the media about child molestations.
Regardless of how many times we see it, the bottom line is harming any child is an abomination to God. As adults, we are charged as stewards of the children to ensure that they grow up safely, and with all of the opportunities which we had when we were their age. We a charged with protecting them from hurt, harm, and danger. We are not charged with making them, or treating them like targets.
Yet and still, regardless of the best efforts of the moral right, there are several people walking amongst us who desire nothing more than to hurt a child. These people prey on the children as if observing some sort of weird primal rite. These people place themselves into communities where children live, and wait for an opportunity to strike. These people, often by their own admission, suffer from severe psychological disorders which compels them to lust after what they consider to be weaker prey.
It is now more important than ever for us to keep a closer eye on our children, so that they will not fall victim to some sexually tarnished individual. We must keep them in the borders of Ying, so that they are not made to stray into the wilderness of Yang.
