So true!!

Quote From: judyblue22

I HATE the use of the word "fondling" for sexual abuse of children. The word arises from loving relationships between adults- defn: to show fondness or affection by caressing.

What adults do when they sexually abuse children is NOT fondling!

The definition of fondle is: to handle tenderly, lovingly, or lingeringly

That is no way to classify abuse!

I agree. Fondling is not a good word to use for this. There is nothing loving about this.

When a grown man or woman forces themselves on a defenseless little child, it is not fondling. I have no idea how that term came to be used for child sexual abuse, there is no way to "pretty up" child molestation so let's just call it what it is.
