The Betrayal of Youth: Radical Perspectives on Childhood Sexuality, Intergenerational Sex, and the Social Oppression of Children and Young People (London: CL Publications, 1986), is a book edited by Warren Middleton, the Vice-Chair of PIE, the Paedophile Information Exchange. As gay / LGBTQ+ activist Peter Tatchell stated in his positive review of the book, 'The Betrayal of Youth presents a diverse collection of essays by 16 different authors who offer a 'radical perspective' on the history, sociology, politics and ethics of ‘childhood sexuality, inter-generational sex, and the social oppression of children and young people'.[1] The book and Tatchell's contribution have been the subject of controversy and debate, also being discussed in a blog entry on Tom O'Carroll's blog, titled Gilt is stripped from Saint Peter's halo (2021).
The book features contributions from Leftist thinkers like Roger Moody and John Lindsay, and the feminist author Beatrice Faust. The whole text can be downloaded for free on Library Genesis.[2]
