The term "childlover" appears, presumably for tactical reasons, to be essentially a synonym for pedophilia, so shouldn't the contents of the page simply be merged with [[Pedophilia]], which already has a one-line paragraph on the term?

I agree absolutely. This should be done immediately.

Also, I am not in favor of moralizing, even indirectly, but if there is clinical evidence that sex with children is not healthy, that surely it should be reported.

Agreed. And there is a huge amount of such research. Our article should pick a dozen separate studies on this subject, and summarize each study separately. Build up this article with scientific evidence.

The text as it now stands reads like a defense against a charge which is not explicitly made evident.

In other words, it is pro-pediphillia propaganda.

There's a good South Park episode on this issue, btw.
