If you can get family members to come forward and report their kin, with the understanding that their kin will get help, they will be more apt to do so than if they know their kin will go away for a long time. Perhaps we can start out with a rehabilitative approach. We need to turn on the kitchen light and begin stomping. What is needed is to bring this issue into the light. Let's not waste our time on such silliness. The ' War on Drugs' and the ' War on Poverty' are just two examples of rhetorically empty phrases that represent only modest gains for society. Why? Is it the Internet? Is it peer-to-peer file sharing? I think a large part of it is societal acceptance, as evidenced by the lack of society's willingness to address the issue. Yet, despite the numerous convictions, crimes against children continue to proliferate, and flourish. People will fight charges of murder and robbery tooth and nail, but they will admit to abusing a child, take their sentence, and go back to doing it again. What you don't see are stories of long, drawn out trials involving child molestation, child pornography, and sexual abuse. You have seen how many people are being caught and convicted of child molestation, child pornography, and sexual abuse. If you read this blog, you have seen my numerous " Crimes against Children" posts. What is scary about child molestation is how widespread it is, compared to how little people talk about it. I found out that various members of my extended family were alleged to have molested children. I just got done listening to " Secrets", by One Republic, and it made me think of some revelations that came out this week. More rain had come last night, and you can almost here the sigh of relief from the earth as it soaks up the rain that fell overnight. I sit out on my back patio, watching the song birds cavorting around the bird feeder. How do we combat moral relativism? We ignore irrational arguments and continue, as a society, to fail to accept harmful behavior, especially in regards to children. It's the adults who have to provide those consequences. It's a child who believes that their actions should have no consequences. Where are they getting this mind-set? From adults who failed to grow up.
They use such thinking to validate their thoughts on marijuana use, pre-marital sex, and a variety of other things for which they do not want to be accountable. While this is true enough, the difference between myself and a moral relativist is that I believe that a person whose morals violate the societal norm for good and evil should be held accountable, as opposed to a moral relativist who believes that they should not, as imposing one's morals on another is evil.Īll one has to do is peruse Facebook to see even teenagers espouse this belief. DeAngelis is speaking to is this thought that each person is responsible for their own morality.
This does not mean that I believe that homosexuals are pedophiles. This is in regards to a previous post on my blog, which mentions a gay rights advocate arrested for child pornography. Jeannie DeAngelis, in " The American Thinker", writes a cogent article on moral relativism, and how it has led to the increase in pedophilia.
