Child abuse/anti-pedophile media, popular literature and research often adopts a narrative structure and stereotyped array of themes that undermines and obscures the presence of abusive relationships and the actual reasons for their dysfunctionality.

Narrative structure for recall

Focus on percieved motive of "abuser", ignorance of other motivations and pleasures in favour of perceived "sinister" sexual motive. Necessity of negative recall in retrospect.

Media & literary themes

"Largest ever" porn ring.

"Worst kind" of images or "The most disturbing". What is it that really disturbs investigators?

"Hidden suffering".

"The victim got a life sentence".

Emotive, lacking analytical perspective: "Dead inside" / "Soul destroyed" / "Psychic murder" / "Loss of innocence".

"It's all about the power".

"Justice" as "closure", despite effects on "perp". Sentence to "fit crime".
