Predators - Youth Can Be Cloaked By The Law

This is for parents, grandparents, teachers, pastors, caregivers, people who come in contact with and love children.

Predators don’t wear flashing signs that declare their intentions. Predators don’t even have true criminal profiles. Once the profilers think they know who the predator is, something changes, and they have to change with it. That doesn’t mean the profilers are wrong. It just means the predators are very evil and always evolving.

Would it surprise you to know that predators can be in kindergarten? Or even in your child’s Sunday school class? Of course, these predators would never show up on the national or state registers that are easily accessible. These predators are usually protected by their families because they don’t want the local Child Protective Services to get involved. Usually there are other children in the family the parents don’t want to jeopardize losing.

Once the brain of a predator has been changed, they no longer think like your or me. Their main thought is control of a future victim, how that is going to be accomplished, and what they will do once they get control. If you think it’s any different because of their young age, you’re wrong.

Predators don’t care whether you are kind, compassionate, or understanding. They will use any virtue you have against you. You see, predators are quick to learn the soft spots - what you and I would call virtues.

In fact, predators thrive on our virtues. Why? Because the more virtuous we are the more inclined we are to give the predator a chance, an opportunity to be in our lives, to get close to the people we love.

Who do you love? Why your children of course. The predator has no interest in going after the adults in your life, just your children, the innocent ones who don’t have a voice yet, who don’t know how to verbalize what happens to them. The one’s who are too afraid to rationalize the threats from predators and process them into reality. That’s who the predators want.

I mentioned earlier that predators could be in kindergarten. It’s not as unbelievable as you might think. Actually, when a child has been incested or abused at a very early age, they are more prone to act out at an early age themselves. Kindergarten has a wealth of possible candidates. Playing “doctor” used to be considered a somewhat innocuous activity among children, not anymore.

In this age with all the technology available, it is so important we use wisdom and discernment when it comes to our children. It is more important than ever before that not only you know who your children’s friends are but also their parents.

It would appear that it is even possible when a child has been caught and convicted through the juvenile court and put on the registered sex offender list, that after a period of time, that same predator, due to the age, will be able to get off the list. Does that change the fact that she or he is still a predator? Of course not. It just means the predator can offend under the cloak of the law until they are caught once again.
