I don't think Matthew Parmenter is ADVOCATING child molestation. I think he's illustrating that particular horror from a different perspective.

Similarly, "Family Snapshot" by Peter Gabriel is sung from Lee Harvey Oswald's point of view. I don't think Mr. Gabriel is saying that assassinating Kennedy was a good thing.


Both of these songs attempt to provide some insight (albeit fictional) into a twisted mind - one can argue whether or not that's a good thing, but I think anything that futhers understanding of the human condition is good.
