The rape of a child has a great chance of damaging that child for life.

A partly relevant short quote from Wikipedia:
"Sexually abused children suffer from more psychological symptoms than children who have not been abused; studies have found symptoms in 51% to 79% of sexually abused children."
The risk of damage is greater if the abuser is a relative, and there is a decent chance, "approximately 30%," that such abusers are relatives of these children.

- 3-18 Pedophiles are as inclined to rape a child as non-pedophiles are to rape an adult.
- 24-0 Not all pedophiles have sexual contact with children. Pedophilia is, by definition, merely an attraction.
- 8-10 Worth Considering creeps me the fuck out.
- 1-11 I wish Worth Considering would stop making pedophilia-related claims. That subject is too deep and I don't want to think about it.

Oh yes, definitely. Any rape can cause significant harm, and such a rape is very likely to be combined with a betrayal of trust. Plus it's so common for a rapist to then blame the victim, which is hard enough for an adult to deal with but for a child being told that it is their fault by someone they trust, that's incredibly difficult. Also, evil.
Absolutely. Very great chance indeed. It's a miracle if it doesn't.
This is a much better claim then the inspiring one. Good job.
