re: The incidents of female child molestation are so rare parents don't worry about lesbians as much as they do homosexual males. It's predominately men who are pedifiles, and inflict violence on children not their own.

Incidents of female children rare???? You're out of touch.
Here's the first of some real scientific data that would seem to deflate the hysteria fostered by most of your links, more to come:

This article presents a study where the medical records of 352 children referred for evaluation of suspected sexual abuse were reviewed to determine if recognizably homosexual adults are frequently accused of the sexual molestation of children. The charts were reviewed to identify the relationships of the children to the alleged offender, the sex of the offender, and whether or not the offender was reported to be gay, lesbian, or bisexual. Abuse was ruled out in 35 cases, 74 involved abuse by other children and teenagers younger than 18 years old, and in 9 cases, the offender could not be identified. Of the remaining 269 cases, two offenders were identified as being gay or lesbian. The risk children would identify recognizably homosexual adults as the potential abuser are from 0 percent to 3.1 percent, using the 95 percent confidence limits for the data from the study. 12 references and 1 table.
