PUT ALL THE BLAME ON PARENTS

Post Courier 8 September 2018 Letter to the Editor

There was a letter to the editor from Mike commenting on the recent spate of sex crimes on underage girls. He put the blame squarely on parents and guardians.

There is a small grain of truth in his words. But the fact remains that young girls are now preferred for sex by older men. Older sex workers are out of business.

Most families do not have money to give to children particularly young girls who need cosmetics, clothes and menstrual pads. Men have the money and girls know where to go.

I have spent almost 18 years worrying about my daughters. They would come in after dark and not say where they had been. I would walk the streets. When I was ill in 2011, paedophile Jeffrey Nape stole my elder daughter.

Children can not be protected by parents all the time. Parents go to work and the children arrive home from school before their parents return. Children have to be given freedom if they are to grow to be responsible adults.

The foreign lesbian paedophiles did not help by working to promote the rights of children with no responsibilities. They planned to destroy the authority of parents. Then these paedophiles turn around and blame the parents. Good trick.

But children have to travel to and from school , go to the store, wash clothes at the river, collect water, work in the gardens and gather firewood. Here is where many girls are raped.

The writer of this letter has to take care not to be making excuses for the paedophile attackers of children. Paedophiles are the criminals not the parents. The last creep to try this was Valentine Tangoh of the National AIDS Council.

Is the writer pushing all blame on parents? Paedophiles do the crimes and most parents just worry and try to protect their children. In Australian prisons, paedophiles are called "rock-spiders". They hide under rocks and leap out to snatch a victim.
