There are some situations when a man may marry or become involved with a woman only because she has children. Such a relationship would give him access to victims without raising suspicion. Parents should be careful about the people they entrust their children to. However, if a situation of abuse does occur it is not the parents fault. The abuser uses situations when there is little chance of discovery, likely the other members of the household are not around or are sleeping.
Some fathers believe that they have the right to have sex with their children.
Others believe that they are not doing their child any harm, and that they are showing their victim love. Some claim that the child seduced them and they could not control themselves. None of these factors can justify the pain and suffering the abuser inflicts upon their victims. These men have the responsibility of doing what is best for the child. These attempts at justifying their actions are self-serving.
