I believe our society has moved to a post-Christian stage. We no longer view children as being sexually off-limits. There is no behavior too crass or obscene for them. This has led to a sexualization of children which I believe child molesters feed off of. People might argue that sexual abuse has always happened, and that we just didn’t speak about it openly years ago. This may be partially true. But I am old enough to remember a time when kids were not bombarded with sexuality from TV, music, and video games. I remember not too long ago when a teacher sleeping with their student was a rare occurrence. I remember when kids as young as eight years old weren’t approached in their classrooms about their sexuality in the name of tolerance (part of the radical gay agenda.) I remember when the only part to being a kid was having fun within moral boundaries set for our protection, and puberty brought on questions of who we would date for social status. Now the topic of conversation with many teenagers revolves around what venereal diseases they are at risks for and who’s having a baby in ninth grade. We are seeing our children’s innocence stolen away right before our eyes.

            I also believe that we as adults are responsible for the world children have to live in. While I believe a serious lack of Christian morals is the cause of what we see today, I know I don’t stand alone in what I believe. That is why I wanted to ask for your help. We can expose the most egregious examples of adults sexualizing our children for malignant reasons. I believe we do this not only by shedding public light on potential or real molesters, but also any adult in a position of authority who shows no respect for the Christian values we want to teach our children. People who for immoral, political, or other motives want to use their authority to sexualize children and plant the idea in their minds that they are not human beings with a soul and an intrinsic value before God,  but rather fit for nothing more than a simple sexual function-like an animal. In reality, this is what child molesters do when they selfishly use children for their own pleasure. Oftentimes these children are exposed to venereal disease since at young ages they aren’t at risk for pregnancy and there is little need for protection being used. This is addition to the irreparable harm that is done to their psyche and their trust in other adults. I believe this course and ungodly culture constantly stresses the raw sexualization of the human being. This does much damage to a child’s perception of themselves when they have been secretly abused by a family member or friend and are trying to personally deal with the effects of this abuse. I also believe child molesters are encouraged in what they (sickly) believe is right by all of this. We simply didn’t wake up one day to find ourselves awash in child molesters. It is a change that has happened over time, and by God’s grace good people who stand up to be counted will change it back.
