I did not know that about Amsterdam. It doesn't surprise me about social services though, from what I hear they are almost universally as bad, if not worse than the Catholic Church with respect to facilitating situations where they or others can abuse children. Overall, I believe that Americans are far less forgiving. I'd like to think that your average American male, after having witnessed what you described, would intervene not only swiftly but with such force and devastation that the consequences would serve to be a permanent reminder for someone not to do that sort of thing.
Good stories usually have good character development, and many times good writers like to blur the lines between the protagonist and the antagonist. Good writers can twist and turn situations where the protagonist actually becomes the antagonist and vice versa. Or, where things can be loosely interpreted; either in one direction or another. I am good with empathy myself, however, there are some types of people whose shoes I will simply refuse to put myself in, which makes it almost impossible for me to empathize with them.
I think your writing, after having being published to the blockchain, will probably be forever on the blockchain. If that is your goal that is likely what will happen. About Trump targeting 4,000 pedos, if they were hurting children, then I think it is a very good thing, part of the swamp drain. There is something going on in the EU and I think maybe in all countries with this kind of organized, maybe even institutionalized abuse. In the US in the 80's I believe it was hiding behind SRA (Satanic Ritual Abuse), long story short I think that there are world-wide cults of child abusers that protect each other and it absolutely needs to be addressed.
The EU has got to be among the worst though, I think. They tend to gravitate towards positions of authority where they will be trusted, and have access to children. Like religions, and social services, daycares, who knows the myriad of places? Oh! and homes where social services place them. I think that many times the people who provide homes for the children who are kidnapped by social services are working with them criminally, in unspeakable ways.
I was watching Infowars with Craig Sawyer (Marine Vet) who is fighting against this type of thing. He is working on a documentary about it to shed light on his work to stop these kinds of people. Apparently, people have such a strong aversion and disbelief about the topic that they had to consult with psychologists in order to even address the initial cognitive dissonance that would immediately cause people to reject the information outright as being untrue, or lies. It's a disturbing thing, but I think the US is quietly leading the way against it. It's no wonder all of Hollywood is so venomous towards Trump, I think they have a lot of rich asshats that abuse kids, and because of their wealth have been able to do so for years. Now they are scared, and they should be, because it's all going to come out and when it does they are just done.
Yeah I think most of the stuff in the world is so ugly it's unimaginable, one might be forgiven to think that child molestation is the worst of it. Yet, these cults of sick fucks, I think they are killing the kids, and or torturing them after they abuse them. I mean in absolutely horrible ways. I learned about this from several documentaries and videos that try to shed light on the topic. [The Conspiracy of Silence], [The Woman with 7 personalities], [Project Camelot interviews Duncan O'Finioan] [Kathy O'Brien] etc. It goes even deeper than that, the kind of trauma that they can induce in people results in fractured personalities, and is sometimes used to create mind-controlled slaves. The handlers fracture the victim's personality creating a new one, and then somehow install via suggestion trigger words to summon, and or dismiss the different personalities at will.
There are so many different interconnected topics, and the way everything comes together would be mind-boggling and completely impossible for some people to accept. It's all connected, the more pieces of the puzzle you get, you gain greater perspective and detail about the things that are really going on in the world. Kind of feel like the US is at a crossroads, and that Trump is about to go full-tilt good, or full-tilt bad in his governing actions. The way he's playing the game it's almost impossible to tell where he actually stands on any given issue. In that respect he keeps everyone in a position where they are trying to appeal to him. It's kind of genius what he's doing, I just hope it isn't evil-genius.
No need to be sorry; and you are not alone with your contempt for the monsters. If what you say with your book is your true intention, and it actually has that effect at discouraging that type of behavior then I wish you all the best for it. Yet, I also know how stories can be, and different personality types might cling onto or identify with different characters differently. I hope it is not something that would serve to fuel a monster, or would-be monster. Who knows fiction is a powerful thing. I didn't mean to sound dismissive earlier, it's just not a topic that I like to think about, makes me angry.
Also, and I'll be frank with this point. If your book is in any way meant to titillate or stimulate pedophiles (of any sort), or if it somehow has that effect. Then kindly consider not sporting the FFF-SOS tag on your profile. That is just a suggestion. I am all for free speech, but there is some kinds of speech that most people universally find vile and disgusting, and I think that if your work is geared towards doing something like that, you'll find that most future members of the group would be less inclined to come to your aid. Each group member, including yourself if you count yourself as one, operates independently, and will choose of their own autonomy whose aid they will come to.
I really hated to say that last bit, without actually having read your work. However, I've just been picking up some strange vibes from the last few exchanges, and the cover art of the work, especially when you consider it in context with the conversation just weirds me out in ways I can't seem to put to words. My intention isn't to create an argument or a debate with you about this, nor is it to cause hurt feelings, or convey insult. Just saying how I feel.
