There was no 'caregiving' in the grandmother's actions. To the Contrary, it was exploitative and likely humiliating to the child. He didn't ask to be violated...it was for the gratification of some psychosexual anxiety and/or compulsion. I've noticed that kids learn most things very well with a good description and some guidance..."learn by doing". "YOU saw abuse in a perfectly innocuous car commercial about a man with his daughter..." I didn't "see abuse" in that ad. I saw the subtle art of seduction being applied in a negating way. Sex will always grab the brain stem. When its magical seductive power is irresponsibly targeted and kids bear the brunt of the 'mass effect', silence is complicity...and I want 'adults' to take responsibility for protecting our 'Future'. The MightyAxe of Amazing Power wielded by the Ad Magicians could be used to encourage people, rather than undermine all the best efforts of so many "good parents"... That ad was very artful...yet I was mildly bothered by the [not-so-subliminal] message. I think it was a male fantasy masquerading as a 'quality time' story- Again, just my opinion. Hey X..."I think I'm ready for that Peach Juice...!"
