True. Damaged parents are often the kinds of people who are taken advantage of by sex offenders. I think it requires a social fix of some kind.

However damaged someone is they have a duty of care to their children. There's someone else with a blame in the story but to excuse this is very wrong.

Completely agree. It shouldn't be treated as an excuse but it's silly to ignore this as a HUGE risk factor. Probably should be considered when making policies etc.
