This is really important and lovely and poignant. I've noticed that children of unmarried parents, or divorced parents, often end up "parentalized," that is, taking care of the parent instead of the parent taking care of them.

In my opinion, the Sexual Revolution redefined childhood. The Revolutionaries needed for the kids to be "resilient" and "sexual beings from birth." If we really see children as innocent, helpless and needy, we adults could not go on gratifying ourselves, and casually switching out our sex partners. We'd be too ashamed. So we redefine childhood.

In short, I really appreciate what you've written here. I actually did a speech a couple years ago about this, and I'm still working out the ideas. The speech was called "The Global Ruling Class Likes Pedophilia." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2TwoYr3TNo&t=283s

Children don't have life experiences, or at least hopefully don't have life experiences, requisite to properly cope with such topics. Consequently they tend to follow the lead of the adult presenting the topic when choosing how to act. Groomers frequently take advantage of this trait in children. Parents who love their children try to install the sense of a loving and safe environment in their young, a sense from which they can draw comfort when confronted with difficulty in life. Christians are able to teach their children about the ultimate source of peace, Christ.
