They hang out anywhere there's access to kids. Anyway, I thought it'd kill her if I told, so I never did. It's a life sentence, that. Dad, denounce? Punch? No, sir. A bullet if an excellent solution. Other than that, God is one's only recourse, not only for comfort and healing, but also the strength to forgive.Billiamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15489132492383133253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-62178509977456525672008-02-01T12:05:00.000-06:002008-02-01T12:05:00.000-06:00Of course the problem with your suggestion is that...Of course the problem with your suggestion is that often in these cases the parents have no idea what happened unless the victim goes public, which is usually much latter in life.Jeff Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03892529674664589034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-46025036319958540372008-02-01T11:22:00.000-06:002008-02-01T11:22:00.000-06:00Ephebophilia is a fascinating word.

It is important to note that it applies to heterosexual as well as homosexual attraction.<BR/><BR/>One could argue that it's common usage will also lead to common acceptance.

I don't think they're in the New Code. In at least a few cases, it wouldn't have stopped me anyway, except for the confessional grille in the way. (Don't ask.) As to sodomy, it's merely a sin that cries to Heaven for vengeance.<BR/><BR/>And who worries about stuff like that anymore?
