RODNEY HIDE: The End of Childhood

Writer: Rodney HideRodney Hide

Warning: If you are likely to be upset by exposure to material available to your children and grandchildren, do not proceed.


I fear that in 20 years time the age of consent will be gone. Middle aged men will be bragging about sex with pubescent girls, P will be added to the LGBTQI+ alphabet and pedophiles will parade their Pride.


It’s the next sexual taboo to fall.


It’s difficult to see a defence being mounted. Our traditional institutions such as schools and Parliament are the problem. Our churches have given up. Our moral lines have eroded.


Our schools teach underage children how to have sex.


The Ministry recommended “Navigating the Journey” curriculum inflicts graphic and detailed sexual content on our children without parental knowledge or consent.


I have covered that here.



But this week I re-read the curriculum with an eye on the age of consent. It’s shocking.


I focussed on Year 9 which is 13 years old. The message should be: Don’t! It’s against the law.


Instead we get this:


If someone reports under age sex, the police have to investigate it. The police will look into how old both people are, if there was consent, and if anyone was harmed. If there is a big age gap between both people, for example, 14 and 20 years old, the police take it very seriously and are likely to charge the older person. It is the older person’s responsibility to be sure that the other person is at least 16 years old. If one or both people are very young, or there is harm happening, Oranga Tamariki may also get involved. This is to ensure that the young people having sex are safe and protected.


The message should be don’t. But the message reads as a warning: it is only a problem if someone reports it and the police won’t treat it seriously unless there’s a big age gap. And it is only the older person who is in trouble. You will be okay.


That’s the message from our schools. The law can be safely ignored.


Dwell also on the conclusion to the paragraph: “This is to ensure that the young people having sex are safe and protected.” Quite what the “this” is referring to is unclear: is it the Oranga Tamariki intervention or the entire paragraph including the law and the police?


Either way the purpose of Oranga Tamariki, the law and the police is not to ensure young people are safe and protected: the purpose is to ensure people under 16 don’t have sex. The law is not to ensure safe sex: its purpose is to protect children.


Further down the page we have this paragraph:


However, sometimes people under 16 still want to have sex, even though they know the law. It is important that both people consent and contraceptives are used carefully to prevent an unplanned pregnancy and sexually transmissible infections (STIs). Young people can legally access sexual health care at any age, including contraceptive and abortion advice, as per the Sterilisation, and Abortion Amendment Act 1990.


Remember: this is the Ministry recommended curriculum for 13 year olds: Here’s the law, but not to worry, use a condom, and you can always have an abortion. That’s what our schools are teaching 13 year olds. It is unbelievable to me.


The paedophiles must love our schools.


Wander into your library and take a look at the youth section. The youth section is for 13 years and up. It’s next to the children’s section. I did. I was deeply disturbed.


It has books like Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Precocious ten year olds are reading there. On display is a brightly coloured book: "Welcome to Sex".


Here’s a starter for ten: what sort of person welcomes 13 year olds to sex? Our libraries are doing the paedophiles work for them!


I know technically pedophiles are defined as those attracted to under 13 year olds but my point is made and pedophile is the word I prefer over “minor attracted”. The term “minor attracted” is used to disguise pedophilia as just another sexual orientation to add to the long list.


“Welcome to Sex” is disgustingly graphic. It is on display as a recommended book. It is one of many of that genre in the Youth Section.



You will appreciate the book’s entire content knowing it teaches young girls how to bring their lesbian girlfriends to orgasm with explicit detail, graphic pictures and a number of options.


The book is targeted at 11 to 14 year olds and has won multiple awards such as the 2024 Australian Book Industry Awards Book of the Year for Older Children.


Libraries have drag queens reading to toddlers. The stated purpose of Drag Queen Story hour is to promote literacy, diversity and positive role models for children.


I see it as sinister. It is sexualising toddlers. It is also likely to be sexually gratifying for the performers. They get a sexual kick out of the performance. After all, that is their kink.


Female strippers don’t do story times for toddlers.


That libraries and councils allow and promote this is unbelievable to me. That mothers take their children along is beyond my comprehension.


I am a free speech absolutist. I support the Free Speech Union one hundred percent. Free Speech Union Jonathan Ayling is brilliant and way smarter than me.


But on Drag Story Hour he is wrong. He sees it as a Free Speech issue. It is not.


My free speech absolutism stops at the kids. Why? Because we have a God-given duty to protect them. Not just your own kids but all kids. They need a childhood. They need to grow and mature. They need to be safe and protected.


We succeed as a society by the successful raising of children.


In the normal course of events the Police and the Courts would shut down Drag Story Hour. But that shows how our traditional defences for the protection of children have collapsed.


The police arrest those attempting to protect the children.


Maybe it’s not 20 years. Maybe it’s just 10.
