You can't say that child abuse is not dangerous to the average person. First of all, children are people. They're not potential people. They're people. They're learning and growing and emulating their parents and guardians, sometimes consciously because they look up to them, and sometimes unconsciously, because whether they know it or not, they're learning by example.
Someone who might have been a happy, average person now has lived through, been crippled by, or died from a traumatic childhood, making this a very real, non-theoretical danger to the child.
If they survive, they grow up having had corrupt role models, which could make them dangerous to others who are average people.
What if an average person's child is abducted?
Any consideration that child abusers are not dangerous is in itself an extreme danger. |
