Children have far more life energy than that of elderly people. Kids can run from morning to night and never need time out. And when they get sick or break a bone, they heal rapidly in comparison to those of age. I know that many vampires who have teenage or younger children feed them.........but it is frowned on for us as adults to feed from children. Is this a moral issue or something else??

I would think that it is more a moral issue than anything else...
The idea being that the adults are supposed to protect the children from harm. Plus the fact that people tend to stick their noses in other people's lives, it also may not be a good thing to do for this reason as well.
I'm not sure if that made any sense....

If you were just going to feed it would be one thing. But there are those who feed during sex and sex with a minor however attracted to them you might be is wrong for both parties. The age of consent exists to protect our young and as adults that is what we should be doing.
Also I believe that minors start looking for those to rescue them earlier and earlier. I have seen personals where 14 year old females are looking for mentors. And you know that isn't entirely what she is after. She is enthralled with the fairy tale of falling for the older dark vampire stranger. Don't play into that by feeding from minors.

One could probably feed on the excess (ambient?) energy the child casts off (as one does with crowds), rather than specifically feeding on the child his/herself.

This might sound strange but I'm going to post it anyway. I've only within the past year learned that I can draw energy from others(in the past I thought I was just sanguine), and have found it quite helpful in dealing with my nephew. He has severe ADHD and a mean streak a mile wide. I used to have trouble dealing with his outbursts when I had to babysit with him and help him with his homework. Now I just draw off some of that excess energy and not only does he calm down he can also concentrate on his assignments. I've even gotten him to a point where I can get him to sit with me and work on arts and crafts projects for up to two hours at a stretch. This from a boy who usually can't sit still for ten minutes. After I've taken a bit off the top of that invisible enregy meter he also tends to listen better to all those around him and is less likely to fly into a rage over nothing. In our case I'd say what I'm doing is morally right as it helps him greatly and I'm not doing it for my benefit(his energy usually just makes me feel edgy and listless so now I'm trying to master grounding the enrgy instead of absorbing it). He honestly seems happier when he's more calm. I think the reason he lashes out and can be mean is that the energy rushing through him is too much for one so young to deal with or put to proper use, it makes his head spin and he can't concentrate. Another interesting point is that he tends to make my other family members extremely tired when they have to deal with him for long. I think he may be unconsciouly(sp) drawing from them, and that's why none of the medications his doctors have tried him on have worked. So what does everyone think? Please keep the screaming to a minimum if you have a problem with it. I can take criticism but please keep it polite as I'd offer you the same curtesy if our situations were reversed.

You harness the superfluous energy, discard part of it, this in some way gives you an energy boost and at the same time you give your nephew a respite from his hyper state, and ofcourse his family. You have applied your ability to help out. Where could the harm possibly be in that? A perfectly natural way to restore balance in an erratic energy field. My opinion.

I know I'm comming to these things 7 and 8 months late, but I do a little teaching on the side of everything else I do, often I am refered to ADHD kids in troubled households. Yes I do take a little off the top, and yes I do get it as quickly away from me as possible. I'm tutoring a 15 year old boy who wasn't passing a single class, after I talked with him for about an hour I started balancing the energy in the house... his Aunt is pshychotic and seems to me vampiric... also from some things he has told me I have found this to be true. Anywho, after he passed the 9th grade, his mom is still calling me about every other week to come over and work with him, then after I have done my energy thing, it seems everyone in that house is happier for a while. I've used this balancing act for years, and have only seen good come of it. As for the meds, if your nephew is feeding erratically from whatever people around him are feeling it is very possible that until he comes to a personal realization, and gains control he will have problems, but I would definitly not I repeat NOT tell anyone in near or around you of your suspicions... one day he will "awaken" to what has been happening all along... I've seen it happen time and time again, in fact there is a girl who approached me as a source of information, (not that anyone around here knows I'm vampy... but just because she knew I wouldn't lecture) So I loaned her a few books on strengthening those mythical mental powers, and she is doing much better, she has a light in her movements that was lacking before. The key with the young is to let them come to you, then have safe and "coincidental information" handy... not neccessarily vampiric and definitely not in contrast too their personal religions... that only causes conflict. It's a balancing act, and usually having just the means to control is vital. As too Sanguine behavior well... I was psy long before I found that blood was a faster method when available, but psy is to me much more stable a source...

I know that many vampires who have teenage or younger children feed them.........but it is frowned on for us as adults to feed from children. Is this a moral issue or something else?? Mairi Ave Mairi, Of course you knew I would have an opinion on this topic. I believe that the unspoken rules regarding minors is more than simply an ethical issue. Children are not always capable of making a sound decision. This is why we all are borne to parents. A child may not fully understand what it means to be a donor, nor have the mental capability of fulling understanding what being a donor actually means and entails. I do realize that this depends on the individual child and their own maturity level, but I still beleive that one should not feed from one who does not truly understand what being a donor is. I may be jaded, as I feed only by blood, and would never, EVER feed from someone who was not fully aware of what that entails. Children are not able to control their energies in a manner that adults are able to, this is why so many children become overwhelmed, and overstressed when the problem seems so small to an adult. Most children, even teens seek acceptance by those who are older than themselves, and may entere into a vampyre/donor relationship thinking that it will lead to something other than what it actually does. As with anything, opinions are like A**holes, everyone has one. :-) Blessings in Light and Darknes, Lady Onyx

I think you've made some very valid points.

I believe the moral issue stems from how we feel that society might view our actions and there for children until they reach the age of legal consent are simply out of the question.
Anyone?

In this day and age our society is obsessed with protecting children from any and all dangers real or imagined. They would easily and without hesitation lump us in with sexual predators if one were to have a child donor.

leave the children alone.....i understand about taking from the top but underneath is a developing child. as has been already said, they cannot give full consent and if they don't know what you are doing they can give any consent at all. instead be kind.... give them good nurishing food and love and get them outside to run, walk, hike and explore. give them your love and gueidance . that extra energy is given for them to run and play and be active and grow . quit keeping them inside locked to the tv screen and video games. get outside with them and let them work off this energy. from what i have been able to learn and have come to understand ,feeding with consent and full knowledge from a donor is the best way for a vampire to get full benefit from a feeding and the donor does alot better to.
