< We have a special responsibility to our children. > But the same respect and courtesy is not afforded to the elderly who are equally vulnerable? I don't follow your reasoning here. < Still, the cost of the blonde predator to the ninety year old, is much less than the pedophile to a nine year old. Scarred for life isn't quite the same thing when you're ninety. > So is the pedophile's predation of a 16 year old less than the same predation on a 14 year old? Being scarred for life may not be the same when you're ninety but how do you factor in the ninety year old's family who may be dependent on his fortunes which have now fallen into a predator's hand? How do you factor in the social costs to the ninety year old's family?
