Graylight I disagree.
Sex is their weapon, but in that instance, children are their target.
When you have a gun (weapon) you got to aim it somewhere (target). Or when you have a pen (weapon) you may write on paper or walls or whatever (target).
The fact that those psychopaths seek children as
[u]sexual[/u] partners/preys and can see them in that light, means that they are pedophiles. It should not be treated lightly. Regardless of the motive.
Children may not be their one or only target i.e they could target adults too. Hence the term non-exclusive pedophile.
In a similar fashion – if they go after animals to control, using sex, then they are zoophiles. If they target humans too, then they are non-exclusive zoophiles.
The motive doesn't change a thing, as long as they choose to use
sex to express it, when they could've opted for something else.
