Biological fathers have very low incidence rates of child molestation and households have limited numbers of people in them. On the other hand you have a building where it is known that lots of children attend daily and is full of people who self selected for whatever reason to be around someone elses kids all day.&lt;p&gt;My high school pulled two pedophiles out over the last three years alone. During my time there I witnessed a lot of behavior that went right up against the line of what is acceptable by people in adult hindsight probably shouldn&amp;#x27;t have had access to children.</text><parent_chain><item><author>mschuster91</author><text>It is a legitimate defense strategy - and one that actually has valid points, at least for stuff like anime &amp;quot;CSAM&amp;quot;.
