And as corroborated by the Song of Songs:
Canticles 8:8
We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts: what shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for?
As long as little girls don't have breasts, they won't be "spoken for".

Have you heard about something called The Ten Commandments?
The 5th commandment clearly says:
Honour thy father and thy mother!!!
I'm sure we can all agree that a child that fornicates with a pedophile pervert is
not honoring its father and mother. Am I right?
Girls are even better protected by the Bible since anyone laying a hand on one of them must pay the father 50 shekels.
Deuteronomy 22:28
If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;
Deuteronomy 22:29
Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.
Of course 50 shekels ain't what 50 shekels used to be. In fact it's only 14.85 USD, but money isn't the important part: The point is that the Bible says it's wrong.
