Why are there laws against paedophilia
it is difficult to understand why you ask that question.
do you think paedophilia should be legal?
it is a perversion (inappropriate sexual attraction) that is damaging to the development of children. children who trust that adults will protect them will feel safe in the world. children believe that if they are in peril, then any adult in the world will take them under their wing and return them to safety. this makes them feel safe and protected.
but once an adult violates a childs trust, and the child experiences grief at the hands of an adult, then that child will retract their trust in the honor of humanity, and they will not grow freely without suspicion of human honesty and integrity.
suspicion makes a person scared to believe what they think they see, and so it stunts development and causes their life to follow a very much reduced variegation of exploration because they do not trust what will happen in their exploratory experimentation, and therefore it condemns them to live an inferior existence as an adult because their personalities are prevented from flourishing due to the lack of trust in the feedback from humanity.
.
whatever. i do not know. i just think it is wrong to subject any animal (not just humans) to an inappropriate sexual violation.
