Some people are just bad. There’s no economic reason for someone to rape and kill a child.

- klyrs 6y agoUnfortunately, I'd say that there might be economic incentives to kill children. When people are extremely poor, children are expensive. When a single parent is working multiple minimum-wage jobs, the kids are going to be neglected. Neglected kids act out more. Frustration gets pent up, the impossibility of the situation looms; a hefty medical bill or a high-needs disability... I think it's actually pretty normal for parents to fantasize about killing their children... but when times get extra tough... grim. Healthcare and UBI starting at childbirth would go a long way to reducing that incentive. Economic incentive for rape... I can't think of an argument. On the other hand, trafficking is extremely lucrative. But, tragically, child molesters are frequently victims themselves. I can't help but think that a robust mental health care system could go a long ways towards breaking that cycle.
