   • 1998, Michael Rectenwald, “Reading around the Kids”, in Constance Coiner; Diana Hume George, The Family Track: Keeping Your Faculties While You Mentor, Nurture, Teach, and Serve‎, page 112:

     Children embarrass us because they point ever too cleverly and clearly to our denial of personal, material, and maternal history. This accounts, in part, for academia's pedophobia and the hush-hush we maintain about parenting.

   • 2015 February 11, Raymond Kethledge writing for the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals in Waltherr-Willard v. Mariemont City Schools, case 14-3168:

     In 1997, Mariemont asked her to teach at the elementary school, but she said she could not do so because of her pedophobia.

2. An irrational or obsessive fear or dislike of pedophiles or pedophilia advocates. (Can we verify⁽⁺⁾ this sense?)
