What is molestation?

The definition of molestation is the act of sexually touching a child. Many people think that only adults can be child molestors, but anyone can be guilty of this crime. Child molestation can be stopped. The fact of the matter is that it is not stopping. I believe that the most effective way to decrease child abuse from occuring is to decrease or eliminate the possibilities of someone being able to cause harm to a child. Anyone that has been a past offender or possible offender should not have uncontrolled or unsupervised access to a vulnerable child or to any child. Child molestors should not be allowed to live in a society that has children in it, but unfortunately that is not the case because there are already many living there.
