    It's illegal everywhere I can think of. Tree-mac was just saying somehow it's more acceptable there which it is not. I was merely pointing out that the SEA countries have higher rates of children forced into molestation/prostitution situations.

    No child actually wants to be molested. But I digress - If MY child was molested and I had a choice between $20 million versus the b*stard having life in prison, well...he deserves life in prison. No amount of money ever takes away my child's pain but at least that b*stard will suffer as well.

    I see. it looks like they're as strict as us when it comes to this stuff

    i think OP is just trying to justify what happened to him, or maybe (hopefully not) what he has done in the past. hopefully he gets some help.

    The fact that you would take the money, and that you assume anyone else would, should ultimately negate the stigma or disgust at the act. You've basically reduced it to expensive child prostitution. And that you would enrich yourself on the back your own child's suffering, well...

    Two big red flags in your perspective, Tree-Mac. For some reason, you think money is everything. You don't have to go searching too long to find celebrities who had it all financially, but died an early death because they were still miserable and their money couldn't buy happiness.

    Secondly, you seem to have some sort of escalated price tag on the value of your (hypothetical) children and (hypothetical) self-respect. Most people would never w**** out those things, especially at the expense of their own offspring. No, you can't keeping adding zeroes, you ****ing zero! Whether you think it causes physical harm is irrelevant because the intent is molestation and the mental harm is irreversible. That is not an opinion, it's fact.

    So, here's my offer....How much are y'all willing to pay to keep Tree-Mac from ever having kids, or being in a room with kids? 20,000,000?

    That's 20 million dollars! 20,000,000 = 20 million dollars! That's a lot of money for the peace of mind that there is one more person out there willing to touch your child!

    Going back to the original question, though, in the hypothetical situation in the original post, the child is molested either way. The question is whether you'd take the money to let the whole thing die quietly or insist on fighting for "justice".

    But, in the scenario as originally posted, the kid wasn't pimped out or trapped into a molestation situation in an attempt to get a financial settlement, the hypothetical kid was somehow molested by someone who's insanely rich (and while the follow-up posts by the OP might not continue with that original assertion, from the very beginning the responses ignored the actual hypothetical and substituted the "pimping out your kid" scenario in its place).

    I would hope that if a family member or friend ever comes to you for advice after their own child is, God-forbid, molested, you people don't immediately accuse that friend or family member of pimping out their kid.

    Would anyone accept $20 million dollars to let someone sleep with their wife? Indecent Proposal style?
