Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

. It usually means 1. you either find attraction to children in a inappropriate way, just because you cant make up a relation with people your age or 2. you're doing it just because you think children can consent. OR because you get attached to them. Most of the time, its not curable. I don't think its a disease. Its your mental state and how you feel about minors. Either way you have serious issues and need help if your attracted to children
