Excellent post! It is becoming clearer how this went down. I wonder though if a child who is being abused themselves can truly understand the harm in introducing other kids to their pedo abusers. Esp if they have maybe fallen in love with their abuser or are suffering stockholm syndrome and /or are getting desperately wanted attention. I have personal experience witnessing a situation like this as a teenager and not understanding what was happening let alone all the complexities. The real crime is what you do or dont do about it as an adult when you should have developed better judgement.

We all adapt to our environment. A lot of former victims held captive despise the use of the term stockholm syndrome, they explain they were simply playing a part to survive. We can sit and judge these people but we have no clue what it's like to be in a situation like that. If you look to the past, it is only in the last 20 years or so that pedophilia has even really been talked about in the open. It's not only society that has been evolving in thought, as a whole, but also the individual. Sometimes people try to normalize a situation to make it okay for them to endure, they fade in and out of denial.

First time I have heard of Stockholm syndrome was in the case of Patty Hearst

Right that's where it was coined. I don't believe she saw it that way, it was more like psychological manipulation and survival.

Kids are already living in those conditions in the inner cities

That's why they are easy pickings
