The only thing I would challenge from your post is the assumption that “most” pedophiles were abused as children. Unless new studies have come out recently, and they very well might have, I believe about 30% of perpetrators were themselves victims.
But all of the numbers involved are a lot higher than reported, so it is hard to tell.
However, that was a bit of a tangent.
The broader picture is that family on both sides have normalized treating teenagers as adults.
I’m not sure what the ages are for the Tyler and his baby momma, but I believe he was like highschool senior and the girl was a freshman. Dating alone that’s a weird age gap, he knocked her up during the school year, a pregnancy takes 9 months…
I’m not saying so much an abused kid becomes an abuser.
I’m saying that pedophiles raise pedophiles. Because in that household the line between adult and child aren’t what’s normal or legal. They might have been fine with their son and that girl having sex in their house whenever,because to his parents, 14 and 17 is “grown” and ready to start their own family if they want.
They truly believe it’s ok and they’re old enough.
And that leads to even more teenage pregnancies and great-grandmas in their 50s
