I disagree. There are degrees of abuse. Tormenting an adult is not the same as tormenting a child. Adults are powerful. Children are largely powerless.

I think we all have an inkling of how that feels. But none of us are compelled to be online. A child being abused IS compelled to endure it.

That is sad. Most, I think, join AFTER they think they have found Him among the JA. How awful it must be to have to endure the disciplines of the JA without having any basis for doing so.

I don't think I have anything more to say on this. I will only be repeating myself. I am sorry we disagree.
