I didn't mention anything about child psychology. It doesn't take much to put some logical facts together.
a) Fact: Television has lots of allusions and direct references to sex.
b) Fact: Kids have brains and a memory. Therefore, it doesn't take much thinking to connect seeing sex on tv with touching someone inappropriately the next day.
Same thing when kids curse at passing cars or something after their parents do it. One of the ways small children learn things is through imitation.
c) Fact: Often, kids (like any other human being) will get curious when parents tell them something is off limits.
d) Curiousity could lead do doing what they're not supposed to
e) Fact: Sexual abuse is reported in children 300,000 to 400,000 times a year and that doesn't take into account the fact that most children won't ever report it to anyone with a position of authority because of fear, shame, or confusion.
f) Having known people with a history of sexual abuse who confessed to me that they had later on imposed their sexual desires on other unwilling victims, I didn't think it was that far-fetched an idea that this could happen.
g) Talk to any parent, teacher or anyone who spends time around children and you'll find that children imitate people, pick up language from people, and grow up with many of their parents' ideas on things (politics, racism...that type of thing). That being true, how can you expect children not to be influenced by sex? Are kids suddenly blind to sexual acts occuring in their own homes? Do their ears magically stop working when their parents say bad things?
h) We've seen on the news stories of children doing a variety of other heinous acts. Whether they should be responsible for it at the same level as adults are is questionable, but that does not mean that children are dumb, ignorant, blind and deaf. Children ARE capable of doing evil, and not just in one area. It doesn't take a degree in Child Psychology to raise children, watch children, remember what it's like to be a child, or see what's on tv these days.

Regardless, you can keep thinking that all children have wings on their backs and don't understand a thing in the world until 18, if it makes you happy.
It's nice to look at the world as such a pretty place. Enjoy it.
