Its a thing that has happened like once or twice but every sex offender pretends it was them that it happened to and lots of people like to perpetuate the myth.

Just like the teens out on the list for taking naked selfies. It might not happen a lot but the fact that it does at all is stupid.

Pretty much what it feels like. I was expecting at least one or two anecdotes. It's like the "welfare queen" argument. Are there individuals abusing those systems? Probably. Duh. But it's not so severe that it should prevent us from helping literally all the other people. Tangent, but same stupid argument structure.
