I’ve been reading
Get Up & Fight, the autobiography of a pioneering judo woman. She grew up in the ‘40s.
THE RIDES IN Steeplechase Park had people thrashing and flying all over the place. Major sexual abuse occurred at the park. Molestation was thought of as entertainment by several mean dwarfs who had the same sleazy sneers on their faces…
It’s striking how common molestation and pedophilia was then. Her landlord was also a pedophile.
There is something to be said for the argument that parents don’t allow their kids to roam free anymore. However, there is now less “low hanging fruit”-style child sexual assault that is a result of pedophiles just knowing a kid is alone. Pedophiles today gotta get on Roblox and establish trust and a whole lot of other stuff.
