Who protects children?

When we have not yet been able to recover from the Pelicot case, nor will we recover because the brutality cannot be assimilated, another group of people now appears predators who, like Gisèle's rapists, are what is known as normal peopleThis means that the men involved in the pedophilia and child pornography ring uncovered by the Mossos d'Esquadra, and according to the police force itself, were men "of all social statuses" and ranging in age from 19 to 50. Some of them are a child protagonist. He had more than 10,000 photographs and 2,000 videos of child pornography at the time of his arrest. He was held in a juvenile center and, at the age of 15, had relations with a 25-year-old man, and the Generalitat agency allowed him to live with him. Nearly 20,000 minors. Children and adolescents who cannot live with their biological families and are in a vulnerable situation. The crisis that this agency has been experiencing for some time, and for reasons that are not entirely clear, has the consequence of breaking away from its main objective: all. Which doesn't mean blaming everyone because, as always, the world is full of professionals who go out of their way to do their jobs well. But it's clear that neither children nor adolescents nor good professionals can afford to continue in the hands of an entity that generates this distrust. Child protection should be the priority of a civilized society.

Adults are failing. Some because of a lack of protection, and the aggressors because they go unnoticed in a society that fosters violence, from the leaders of the world's great powers to the networks that promote pornography that bases male pleasure on rape. The victim is not considered a person, only a sexual object. An object can be used, broken, destroyed, thrown away. Going against that pornography is not puritanical. It's going against the violence and lack of empathy of that abusive sexuality that deviates from healthy sexuality, whatever that may be.

In Gran Canaria they have just prosecute four footballers to record sexual images of two women, one of them a minor, and distribute them without their consent. In France, Prime Minister François Bayrou has been questioned about a case of physical and sexual abuse at the Catholic school where his children attended. I'm aware that we live in a world full of contrasts, but, honestly, it's very difficult to maintain any kind of hope in a humanity that tortures its own kind for pleasure, for power, or for any objective that goes beyond what we understand as coexistence. But the electrician will end up behind bars. What prison have they put this girl in, and how will she get through it?

We can't think of a proportionate punishment because the damage they do is exorbitant. In fact, we can't even think of what to say.
