There are a few threads on this board, about pedophilia.
Since both most recent threads are full of finger-pointing (sort of like "your side is full of pedophiles", "no your side is"), I thought I'd start a new thread.
I found the following article.
childluresprevention.com/resources/molester-profile/
Not a bad article in my opinion. I especially liked the following part:
This part lists the most common techniques of pedophiles to lure children; and it mentions churches and media.
My opinion: If kids are insecure, they are an easy prey.
And they can be insecure for lots of reasons. Like being indoctrinated with a patriarchal religion like Christianity or Islam; or dreaming of becoming a superstar (acting or sports); or believing to have found a friend in a world that otherwise doesn't get you...
Pedophiles know this; and they use it.
So how do you prevent it? The article mentions teaching children to respect boundaries, and keeping your private parts private.
Maybe teaching children that no authority is god-given (because God probably doesn't exist); and that you don't have to be a superstar to be worth something might be helpful as well.

The VIP (Very Important Person) Factor
While there are many reasons victims don't tell, the "VIP Factor" is a significant reason why sexual crimes against children have continued for generations. These "Very Important Persons" (VIPs) are well-known local leaders in our schools, athletic and civic organizations, houses of worship, healthcare and business communities. Some are VIPs on the state or national level, in the educational, legal, military, corporate, media, higher education and political worlds. They have power and money, and they have imposed a culture of silence that few dare attempt to confront.
For example, at Penn State University, Assistant Coach Jerry Sandusky (who ran a non-profit organization for disadvantaged youth) used nine of the 16 Child Lures to entrap and sexually exploit his many young victims: 1. Affection, 2. Assistance, 3. Authority, 4. Bribery, 5. Games, 6. Hero, 7. Job, 8. Threats & Weapons and 9. Drugs.
Four of the victims were assaulted during sleepovers with Sandusky, a common tactic of sex offenders. As in many cases of child sexual abuse, the children were threatened not to disclose and were told, "No one will believe you." As is usually the case, the child victims believed their offender.
Other VIPs within Penn State University were aware of inappropriate behaviors by Sandusky, but did nothing to stop, report or prevent his crimes against vulnerable children.
