I think the term you were searching for earlier was age of consent. There is certainly differing levels of maturity, however any time an older individual is involved with a much younger one the odds of manipulation increase. I can't think of any circumstance pre puberty where this would not be the case.

Giving vs. Taking... >>"...represents manipulation, a violation of trust, and an abuse of power to gratify ones own lust at the expense of another human being" This would be wrong. The problem is that "Pedophilia" is defined and assessed differently in different cultures. Normally, (to skirt competency issues) they simply use age as a determinant...>> For giving to manifest there has to be an individual who's willing to receive. But the same applies to abusing and using. For abusing and using to manifest there has to be a receiving party. The evil spirit is one that rationalizes these forms of abuse as being relative to and conditional upon both the existence and their acceptance in this world. Hence, the institution of slavery was once rationalized for many years as "being Ok". Neighborhood crime gets rationalized because "others are doing it and getting away with it" etc. Adultry is rationalized for the same insane, illogical reason. Anything that defines, takes, abuses, used, refracts, limits, restricts, controls, claims, blames and shames is rationalized and worshipped simply because "others do it" and it's simply "human nature." It takes time, but the light of truth inevitably works its wonderous energy. The unconditional light of our Lord's Truth and Love for us cannot be stopped from revealing itself to man in all of it's pure glory. All of these examples of abuse, separation, division, distrust, claim and control are forms of human slavery. Slavery of the mind, heart and soul to the dominion of darkness which is Hell itself. Once the true unconditional energy, light and Love of our ONE Lord God in Heaven begins to shine down on this darkness there's is absolute NO room for these spirits to hide anymore. They cannot stand the light of heaven. They will simply vanish into the dark shadows and will never been seen again until the will of the disconnected individual soul invites them back inside to sup. His light freed the slaves. And it's His light that is beating back these insane "religious spirits" from hell itself who have claimed the mantle and control of His truth. 119293!!
