Concerning Matthew 18:6

I often read discussions in which people assert that Matthew 18:6 refers to pedophilia as a sin that cannot be forgiven. This is the passage:

But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.

This kind of interpretation becomes even easier in Neo-latin languages, where the passage above is apparently not about "sin", but about "scandal". For example, in French:

Mais, si quelqu'un scandalisait un de ces petits qui croient en moi, il vaudrait mieux pour lui qu'on suspendīt ą son cou une meule de moulin, et qu'on le jetāt au fond de la mer.

Does anybody know how the Original texts of the Gospels (Greek, Aramaic) are with respect to this question?
