A YouTube podcast/interview (uploaded by Josh Trent) discussing how predators select victims. The speaker reports that predators seek signs like insecurities and broken homes, and—per an interviewee who molested children—avoid households where the father appears to be a threat, preferring 'soft targets.'

He was a guy who was arrested for basically molesting many children. And he did an interview, and he said they asked him, like, when you chose your victims, what would you look for? Well, they would look for insecurities, broken homes. But the number one thing that this guy said he identified with was the father. According to this guy, if the dad was a threat, appeared to be a threat, he wouldn't waste any time, because why would you go to a hard target when there's a soft target, right?
