Predators stay close to their prey & use every advantage to get close to them. This is no different for child sex predators.
For these predators, the nuclear family structure is a deterrent & their separation is a vulnerability they exploit: they openly admit this.

When we think of child sex predators, we might think of a strange guy in a van attempting to seduce a child into their vehicle but more often than not, it's someone who the adults trust. What we don't discuss enough is how these predators use relationships to go after children.
Child sex predators specifically look for children who are from broken homes to be the aid for their single mothers or they target single mothers for relationships to gain full access (and trust) to their children.
In this clip, this predator admits to grooming his stepdaughter from the age of 1 with physical abuse for compliancy & started molesting her at the age of 18 months. His goal was to create the perfect sexual partner for him.

This predator admits to molesting around 12 children, mostly the children of girlfriends of his. He describes how it was easy to get away with because of his standing in the community. He would pose how crazy it would be to molest a child in his own home to adults: it worked.

The research is very clear about the dangers of non-biological adult figures who reside in the home:
Stepchildren hold a five times increase in likeliness to be abused (physically, sexually & emotionally) than biological children & it's even higher when they're unwed.
This was the situation with this predator who was not only sexually abusive to the child but emotionally & physically abusive to him. He used physical intimidation to get what he wanted. He details a situation when he severely beat his stepson and sent him to the hospital.

Often, single mothers see these men as angels who are there to help them in a tough economic and child-rearing situation while thinking these men provide a male influence for their children who are disconnected from the birth fathers.
In this clip, this predator married a woman who had two boys who he groomed to have sex with him and then began pimping them into a child sex ring, which he was caught in called the "Clearwater 28".

The other side of this issue is how are these people created. The tough thing to discuss is that these sexual predators were mostly created under the same circumstance. They're often the products of molestation and they weren't protected as children.
They're repeating what they are familiar with and while it is no excuse, it is the reality that they are the products of abuse and they continue to inflict the same trauma they experienced. This was the situation for the previous predator. He began being molested at the age of 7.

Every video I could find of predators who would openly talk about their childhood detailed being molested as a child, typically when they were prepubescents. Most were molested by step-parents and family friends.
While there are great stepparents in this world, the reality is that predators use every opportunity to get close to children. It's why they become youth ministers, teachers, and coaches. They use their positions of authority & trust to target vulnerable children.
A nuclear family with highly involved birth parents is the greatest deterrent to keeping predators away from children & the safest home environment for children. If you want to protect children, start at home first by family planning appropriately.
This is how you stop the cycle.
This is how all abusers get away with it. It always works.
It's working a treat right now. Right out in the open.
Simply call yourself "trans", or "LGBTQ+", or "just a drag queen", and everyone falls all over themselves to let you in the door and onto the couch next to their children.
Especially women and mothers.
And we who see it are called the "actual predators".
God bless you for posting this, Adam.
