The cost of a millstone varies significantly based on its size, material, and purpose. For hand-carved granite millstones, prices range from $720 for a 16-inch by 4-inch stone to $9,600 for a 72-inch by 7-inch stone, with weights increasing from 95 lbs to 3,000 lbs.
Larger millstones, such as a 36-inch French Buhr Runner Stone, are priced at $3,500
, while 41-45 inch millstones start at $4,000.
I think it really comes down to what they propose children should do or be able to do contrary to "sexual innocence"... I can't really think of anything sensible.
Children (9 and under roughly) are not able to reproduce nor have they developed an interest in reproduction, so they should be out of the discussion or consideration for reproductive acts.
I think adolescents (10+) are a different discussion as they develop the ability to reproduce and interest in reproduction. This leads to some adolescents acting out with other adolescents, and for example some adolescents historically getting married.
The point was for me at age 10+ I definitely developed a strong attraction to the opposite gender. This author isn't even trying to conflate adolescence and childhood together in order to argue for children to act contrary to "sexual innocence like some adolescents do", which I thought I've seen other leftists argue.
So I think some increased effort either towards adolescents marrying or being helped to remain pure could be helpful (at least based on my own experience of it being difficult to wait with confusing cultural attitudes). This group is also I think at risk of predation of sorts if we aren't careful, given our culture's attitudes towards lust and with increasing voices on the left calling for children and adolescents to embrace "erotic potential".
No downvote from me. The verse originally related to causing any of the disciples to sin, however, it is applicable, in that those who are abused in this way go on to abuse others often enough to make the case.
The Children's Bill of Rights
Every Child had the right to be just that, a Child.
Every Child has the right to not be influenced by adult themes that are forced upon them by others with an agenda of their own.
Every Child has the right to grow and mature as nature intended and to not have their Childhood taken from them prematurely.
Childhood is a very brief time in life, God willing there will be plenty of time later for grown up ideas, obligations and activities.
All those involved in publishing that should be investigated for child porn.
I’ll donate to buy more.
I'll buy a chisel and make them myself.

Rope is less expensive. Gravity is free. Bullets are pretty inexpensive as well.
So drop them from a cliff or some other high point? I could go for that....
Oh Lord Please Smite Them Now! 🙏
In Jesus name Amen!! 🙏 🙏
Amen!
A very short 50 years ago, these sick animals would have been taken 'fishing'. Insanity must Not be allowed to harm children.
Indeed, there are a few people that need to be placed in one...
I like our laws and morals as they are. Hands off the kids.
Alas, I have no millstones.
Fires up ye ol’ faithful wood chipper
So these eggheads are going to start idolizing farm kids now?

Adolescents are not supposed to engage in anything contrary to "sexual innocence" until married; about half of 18 year olds are not virgins (and are presumably mostly not married?): https://www.good.is/this-chart-shows-how-old-americans-were-when-they-lost-their-virginity

Yea waiting for marriage is far and away the winning and best strategy, nothing else even contends...
This article is a pushing of the goalpost, closer and closer to the "age is just a number" hellhole of chaos and oblivion.
Sociology, I might have known it was sociologists that published this crud.
Not what what this verse meant.
