Polygamy is a state of marriage where a man has more than one wife. Child abuse is when a person hurts a child through physical or sexual misconduct. They are not the same thing, but their is a tendency to conflate them as such, especially amongst feminists, left-leaning rhetoriticians, and others.
However, this conflation and merging of terms has some socially irresponsible aspects to it that are disturbing.This storyexhibits disturbing (and disturbed) social trends that reek of the early 90's, and child abuse scandals that blamed men for womens actions:
"Child Protection Fails Children by putting at risk children with predators"
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080423/ap_on_re_us/polygamist_retreat_colorado
"COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - A woman suspected of making false abuse claims in Colorado used a telephone number that was later used to report alleged abuse at a polygamist retreat in west Texas, according to an affidavit made public Wednesday. "
is a demonstration of how far some people will go to merge these terms at any costs, and most often they are people with agendas. In this case, feminist agenda, comingled with anti-religious agendas have taken children from their homes, and put those children into foster homes, where children have an even greater risk of being sexually molested, or physically abused.
Worse, foster care is where many children first encounter people who do touch them inappropriately.
Foster care is a self-perpetuating model, a make work project for people whose agenda is to get close to kids, and derive benefits from that contact. Some of them are well meaning people who truly desire to protect children, but most of them that I have ever met like that fat check that they get every month for providing milk and Cheerios(tm) to children they barely know.
Still ohters, particularly the feminists love to get next to children--can barely wait to get their hands on kids, and say the words "penis, vagina, and buttocks" into the blinking eyes of four year olds who only yesterday had never heard those words, but will forever be scarred by this imposition of sexuality into their lives.
There is something perverse about that in and of itself, but worse, social mechanisms designed to protect children have indeed broken down.
