Friends and Family, yes. Police station, that is a idiotic statement and I can't take you seriously.

And how did they react?

They are intelligent and rational and understanding. They are also not obsessed with Epstein or his associates. If there were a ounce of actual pedophilia that would be completely different, there is not, so not much of a conversation.

In fact we agree that everyone throwing around this word does massive disjustice to actual pedophilia victims which is one of the worst things you could do.

So none of you believes that attracting, grooming, and having sex with minors is immoral, is (and should be) both against the law and causes you to be socially ostracized, and is generally known as pedophilia? That strains credulity.

No, it's not generally known as pedophilia.

You’ve lost the plot. If you truly believe this, you should not be around children. Seek counseling.
