So if anyone see any story contains character(s) 12 or younger and it doesn't have the code "Pedophilia", please be sure to let me know and indicate where it is in the story. Thank you very much!

I don't agree with your basic statement. Under 18 may be guaged as paedophilia whre you live but in UK the legal age of consent is 16. In holland it is 14, as it is in Denmark. In Japan there is no age of consent at all. In 1904 in England, where people talk of returning to victorian values (Actually this was edwardian) the age od consent was 12! I have knowb 12 year old girls who were far more sexually aware than their mothers. so is Paedophilia in the letter of the law or the mind of the person who thinks of it???
