Reply #135: Wouldn't it be a great thing if we cold force such parents to stop doing these things? [View All]

Sure it would. But I don't think that introducing laws that specifically address the sexuality of a child is the way to go about it.

The fact is that too many parents don't want to think of their children as being sexual at all and would fight such legislation to the death.

The fact that little Sally wants to kiss little Megan is just because they're cute little girls. It has nothing at all to do with her being sexual. The same applies to if little Sally were to want to kiss little Billy. It's cute, but not sexual.

By the time these parents are willing to admit that Sally is sexual it's usually long after she's taken a much more in depth interest in whichever sex it is that she's going to be attracted to. It's usually at this point when these misguided parents go nutty trying to "fix" their precious little baby.

No, I think the proper way to peruse these cases is not to write new laws, but rather to prove that these parents are doing harm to these children on an emotional level and let our current laws prevail.
