Any article referring to the sexual abuse of a child by an adult as an affair is a little bit mind-blowing, but this one struck me harder than some because the victim is so young. The wording in this article undoubtedly reflects the idea that boys can’t be sexually abused by women, they can only get lucky. So, I just want to provide some context to this piece. My daughter is eight years old and she is in a class with many nine year old boys. Some of those boys still believe in Santa Claus. They are still young enough to cry when they miss their mothers. Boys are kids. One does not have ‘sex’ with a kid. For fucksake.
(Don’t read the comments on that article).
I’m not sure I want to read that article. I do know that I want to cry. Nine year old boys are kids. The tooth fairy and Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny are often still very real in their lives. Kids that age don’t ‘get lucky’. FFS
You can tell he’s a kid by the way his Dad organised a babysitter

Wow Jen, I just followed that link. There is no hope at all if a 13 year old girl’s actions can be called ‘predatory’ and ‘egging-on’ an adult man!
What the hell are laws for if someone can walk free after admitting they broke several major ones? Disgusting.
I can’t read it. I have to avoid articles like this, even though I know this kind of thing goes on. Too hard. Makes me really, really sad.
