Power Differential Places Blame

I do not agree that a power differential places blame on the victim. That discrepancy makes the perpetrator much more culpable. In incidents between children there must be an age difference of at least three years for the actions to be considered abuse. Two years and 364 days between the two is considered inappropriate and not abusive. A power differential between the victim and the perpetrator is always an issue. The differential is not always age or size. I cannot think of an abusive situation where there is not some sort of power distance. I believe this is exacerbated when dealing with children who are abused. Is it a child’s fault that she is smaller, poorer, and less emotionally mature than the person who rapes her? Absolutely
