Obviously you do not know what you are talking about. You have not had an 11 year old boy ask you if you'd follow him, and lead you to a place where he proceeded to feel your genitals. You anve not had an 11 year old boy (the same boy) ask to be fellated and, when you say no, repeat the request every time he saw you until you did it. You have not talked to people who tell you they were masturbating at 6 and looking to have sex at 9. You have not... but I have. It is you who are deluded. You put blinders on your eyes and refuse to accept what you don't want to believe: that children, even children that have not reached puberty, are sexual beings.

Frankly, in my own experience, I have only been aware of cases where the child initiated the contact. Because the law's penalties are so draconian, I've never even asked a kid ... I've been too afraid that if he didn't want to, all he had to do was tell someone I asked.
You obviously don't know the real world that pedophiles and quasi-pedophiles operate in. Nobody I know does things like dress up in clown suits, or give kids candy for sex. Instead they make friends with the boys (or girls, but most of the ones I know are boy-lovers) and spend months agonizing over whether the boy will get the vibes of the feelings they have, hoping against hope that the boy feels the same way, fearing that he will be just as afraid to make the first move... if a boy actually can figure it out, he has to be very bright and almost able to read the man's mind. If it ever gets that far, the boy is certainly informed enough to give consent.
