Words can create a impact. However when the words are to soft or subtle they can dilute the effect of the true message. In society we have a way of downplaying the harm that child exploitation causes and those who want to exploit children will see this as an opportunity. The purest definition of RAPE is sex without consent. Children cannot consent to sex with adults so thus anything sexual that happens between a adult and child is Rape. It is much more difficult for people to ignore the problem of CHILD RAPE vs child molestation, child fondling, inappropriate touching, etc. For those who have a difficult time grasping this concept look at how Whoopi Goldberg discusses what Roman Polanski did to a 13 yr old girl. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nZskUvAGyjQ

I could not agree more. Calling it anything less than child rape is a disservice to children IMO. Why should it be rape when it involves an adult women, but watered down with children?
A lot of people I know cannot even stomach the thought of what child rape is, so they pretend that it doesn't exist, or call it other names to desensitize themselves.
