Well then you also need to make sure you don't take them outside. Especially not to a swimming pool, or let them participate in gymnastics. There could be creeps present, thinking bad thoughts.

Internet brings this to a massive, billion+ sized audience, though. Say the rate of pedophilia is 1 in a million (I just made that number up). That means there are, on average, 0 creeps watching your kids at gymnastics meets and pools in real life. However, upload as a public video to youtube, and like flies to honey, hundreds of creeps will gravitate toward the video.

  Well I can see the number of views. They aren't high. The one that got ~700 views was probably because the title said something about "upside down on monkey bars," but she was wearing jeans, so I don't care. I doubt anyone was gratified. Pretty sure none of the videos I have posted have a billion views. And a creep in real life can easily follow you home.

  The actual rate is somewhere between 2 and 5 in 100. It's quite high, estimated to be more than 10 million Americans.

    Do you have a source for this? That seems alarmingly high.

      That does seem really high. Then again, it's hard to measure because you can't exactly send out a survey asking people to admit to being a pedophile. It wouldn't surprise me though - perhaps sexual variants just tend happen in that rate window... chemistry doesn't care whether the particular variant is ethical or not.
