Pedophobia (also paedophobia), noun can mean one of two things:
1. Fear (phobia) of children. Under this definition a pedophobic individual would avoid contacts with children or any act that reminds an of them.
2. Irrational hatered, discrimination, and criminalisation of pedophiles. Under this definition a pedophobic individual would actively seek procecution and persecution of anybody who is either a pedophile or a pedophilia advocate. This term is a neologism.

In both cases a person who has pedophobia is called a pedophobe.

1. John cannot come to the kindergarten, he is a pedophobe.
2. Active Christian Media propagates pedophobia.

pedophobia

An irrational, often hysterical fear that afflicts many parents. It involves the delusion that perverts wearing trenchcoats are lurking behind every bush with pockets full of candy. Parents with this disorder have an obsessive compulsion to keep their children, even teenagers, under constant surveillance. They egotistically assume that a pervert would WANT their children, even though they tend to be just as dull and unattractive as the parents that spawned them. These parents tend to be highly suggestible, and a large majority watch FOX News regularly. Other symptoms include frequent bouts of paranoia and melodramatic behavior. Sadly, most will not be cured before they have passed the disease on to their children.

The media's sensationalized coverage of child abductions is mostly to blame for the current climate of pedophobia in our society.
