Calm down and read what I posted .. I have not implied that the shielding of paedopholes was ever acceptable (or indeed legal). Indeed the law was in many cases being enforced back then. It is worth reading about what eventually happened to the founders of the paedophile information exchange once the authorities decided to act. What I am concerned about is the belated crimilisation of what were seen at the time as that they took place (30, 40, 50, 60 years or more years ago) normal acceptable behaviour and interactions that took place 30, 40, 50 years or more years ago. Child sex abuse was always illegal and often punished but some of the lines are sharper than they were in say the mid 1960 when one of my sisters at 14 years of age had a boyfriend who was 4 years older than herself in spite of my parents protests that relationship lasted for four years. How would that relationship have been seen these day?
