Summertime is child molesting time. Summer camps are the worst. Boys alone, without parent supervision, invariably present a problem of homosexual behavior. Day camps, summer camps and any place where children are attract child molesters. Pedophiles are especially active in those jobs where little children are brought to the bathroom. Pedarests like to watch children swimming at the community pool. Summer, when children are outdoors and away from home, is a child molester's delight. What can a parent do? First of all, you must tell your child about the problem. When you do, be careful not to make it sound too frightening or too interesting. In my house, I tell my kids about the "piggy men." One day, a piggy man went near my son, and my son fled and ran right to me. I was five steps from that piggy men when he escaped in his car. The great strength of the piggie men is that we are ashamed and too modest to tell our children about them. Once a child realizes that "we don't talk about such things," the piggy man uses this to keep the child quiet. Children can be involved with piggy men for a long time because of this. A parent must therefore always be on the watch. If a child acts withdrawn or as if something is wrong, the parent has to find out. Child molesting is extremely prevalent even in deeply religious communities. Secondly, be aware yourself. Keep an eye out for your children. Don't let them go to places where there may be problems. Don't send them to a summer camp where the problems are ignored. If you have the guts, make an issue of it with the camp heads. If you can, get a few other parents to join you in your efforts. Wherever your child goes, there are problems of not just pedophiles, but of biology. Homosexuality is not just for the perverts. In fact, the perverts got that way because, as normal, heterosexual children, their parents ignored their danger and they fell into the traps of the pedophiles, or even the trap of social situations where problems occur among normal children. If there are gay activists out there, fighting tooth and nail to destroy the family and our rights to live as we wish, it is not just because some evil demons swept in from the deep. It is because, in your neighborhood and mine, parents did not do their job, and children were exposed to the wrong things. Never let children be alone for prolonged periods. Don't let the television or anything else keep them occupied while you go where you have to go. If something goes wrong, and often, in such circumstances they do, we can't blame the "gay lobby," we have to blame yours truly. Several years ago a brother and sister were regularly left alone by their working parents. They were very young, but not that young. Biology did its thing. Yes, those things happen. This summer, and of course, the entire year, recognize the problems, and do something about it. It is your child; it is your life.
