No.
What do you suggest?
Prevention through therapy.
What kind of therapy?
A therapy that helps them to deal with their urges, impulses and to never give in to them while providing help to deal with the repercussions of supressing them.
How exactly such a therapy would look like is something science still would have to find out and with time the solutions might become better and more humane.click to expand

How exactly such a therapy would look like is something science still would have to find out and with time the solutions might become better and more humane.
But just like any type of therapy the person has to want to do it. Pedophiles donāt see anything wrong with themselves that they want to change.
Plus I donāt think this is something that really can be successful with therapy. Itās not like itās a diagnostic mental disorder.
They donāt get possessed and suddenly have an uncontrollable urge to do what they do. Itās their choice. But then again I donāt know much about it. And Id rather not.
Iāll tell you what these people need. Life sentences in general population.
It's not seen as a disorder because no one classified it as such, but that might eventually change.
Depends on what you define as success. Success as in being "healed" is probably unlikely, but people might become able to live with it even if they have to fight this battle for the rest of their life.
Then again, science might find more solutions in the future.
Itās much too dangerous to have them around. They have to first see it as a problem and I donāt think they see it as a problem.
Also from my understanding an actual disorder is something that keeps you from pursuing happiness. Itās something that causes the person disturbance in their daily life. Most of the time they want and seek help.
In order to classify something as a disorder it has to be something that the person doesnāt like having. It keeps then from being completely happy and keeps them from functioning in life like the average person.
People with disorders are not sick in the head. Pedophiles, narcissistics, psychopaths, etc surely donāt live life like a normal person,but is it causing them personally distress? It isnāt.
Thatās why psychopaths and sociopaths alike are considered a personality disorder and not just a plain disorder.
Personality disorders dont cause the person diagnosed with it distress because they have it.
So perhaps pedos can classify as a personality disorder, but not a disorder.

I work with juveniles , many culprits are victims themselves n go and violate those younger than them in the family, as they were. Also access to internet on phones . A lot of them watching porn n wanting to try it on younger family members 12 yrs old violating three or five year olds

Passion and a strong sense of justice ---- this is what I like about being a Scorpio
When I was very young, we had a guy move in with his friend at the apartment complex next to ours who had a camper (what you guys call a caravan). He was caught inviting young girls into his camper by a couple of the fathers. One day the camper was gone. They found it outside city limits by a river. He had "committed suicide" inside the trailer šclick to expand

I try to be a forgiving person and try to believe in due process and all that, but I can't say I'm very sympathetic towards the fact that for convicted child molesters sentenced to time in prison, and even jail, it's often a de facto death sentence for them.

There is therapy for people who are aware that their sexual desires towards children isnāt healthy. Conditioning electroshock therapy being one of them and that shit doesnāt work.

The only thing that makes me anti death penalty is the 1% or whatever that gets falsely accused and goes to prison for a crime they didnāt commit. But honestly if I saw my kid getting abused Iād kill the shit out them and wouldnāt even think about it. Idgaf.

Rape is being murdered but then having to figure out how to keep living while reliving being killed each day.
Not being supported or being accused of lying just makes you feel the most alone you could ever feel.

Not that I can recall. I got raped when I ran away from home and told him that it happened and he didnāt do anything even though he was a child abuse counselor and a mandatory reporter.

She wasnāt, this is sensitive subject.
Of course it is. I don't need her to fucking quote me and act like there's only one thought process to this.
The majority of people who have experienced this trauma all feel the same about pedos and how to deal with the issue.
Ok. I'm still allowed to speak for myself. I still went through the experience, she didn't. She didn't have to act like my experience is less than yours.
Itās not less but were you conditioned to think the type of people who cause this sort of pain to children should get a second chance of life? Really?
Rehabilitation for other crimes have shown effective.
If people are going to commit regardless of death penalty or life sentence, there must be some root cause(s).
Did you know that there are children who do the same thing to others children their age or younger?
I pointed that there are different cases, it's not a straight and narrow line. There are people who deserve the death penalty but not everyone. It shouldn't be the same blanket statement for everyone.
There are many cases of children being tried as adults for committing murders. It would go the same path if need be.
And that's really unfortunate because these kids are victims from the cycle of family of abuse and by the system itself. Kids that need guidance, support and protection but never had that opportunity given to them. Kids that have fallen through the cracks and joined groups because they need to belong. They are still kids, still developing.
Do you have children?
Yup and I still wouldn't change my answer.
So everything you spoke of today, would be the same statement you would say to your children if they openly told you someone assaulted or abused them?
What did I say that bothered you so much that you have to use a personal question? Because I could ask you the same thing in reverse. The fact that maybe rehab can be an alternative?
You didnāt answer the question. Does it make a difference once I place your children in the shoes of other children that suffered?
Okay. I'll answer since you think that's a proper way to do things.
I do think that rehab can be an effective intervention depending on the case.
Does that answer your question?
Not necessarily. I would fight for justice equally for any child in this world who has been assaulted or abused as I would for my own child because I personally know the pain and I understand how it feels to be an adult now while my abuser is walking around living their lives normally.
Yep. I would have been so happy to actually be protected by parents.
I thought my father would at least treat me as good as his patients and he didnāt even report what happened to me because he didnāt want to ruin his image Iām sure.
He was two different people at home vs āprofessor/counselorā mode and other people used to buy into that shit and eat it up.
But yeah... if you are supposedly helping kids heal from sexual abuse but donāt even help your daughter.
Ugh. Might as well have shot me then. Thatās how it felt.
Thatās why I wanted to kill him so badly. Legit thought about it.
As a mother Iād never let that happen. Even if I died trying Iād go after their asses.
I told my mother and she didnāt even believe me. So I understand how you feel.. the people you place your trust into and who should protect you are the same ones who turn their backs on you. Thatās scarring for a child.click to expand

My post is going to be raw for some and i apologize in advance.
At one point in time, yes i wanted to see them harmed, whether it was within the jail system or vigilante style justice. I was so angry and hated life, I always wondered what did i do so wrong that it happened to me. the first person almost killed me when it happened because he was forcing his dick down my throat- i was 7, he was maybe16 himself, so yes techincally a child himself, a kid from the neighborhood. The other was my aunts boyfriend that lived with my dad, he threanted to kill me and my sister and also said our dad would believe him becuae he was an adult. I was 10 or 11 (5th & 6th grade).. again never spoke up to my parents. Told my step sisters 5 or 6 years after. Went to court, he lied and said we wanted it to happen. i was 11 fucking years old and he was at least 30 if not older, that was when i lost faith in our system. Children need to have a voice and be BELIEVED. Why would a child lie about this shit?!
I attempted suicide at 12, got more into drinking and found drugs. I was angry and numb. I got sober at 15, that was when i finally started speaking up about what had happened. More, i wasnt surpressing it anymore. Took many many years of working through everything with theraphy, counciling and trying to find outlets so I didn't think i was broken and tainted. Guess what, that stayed with me until my 30s. My anger though was slowly killing me inside- I had to get rid of it. Anger was making me think about what happened and i refuse to be a victim and not get some joy and happiness from life. So no i don't think about harming them or them being harmed. I don't give them my energy. Thats how in the end i feel like i won.
Why would a child lie about this butter?!
^ Unfortunately I find this happens a lot. I was on jury duty surrounding a similar case and most of the jurors didn't find the guy guilty. They had to explain to me why and they said because there weren't actual evidence.

Thank you. I really do try not to think about it. I want to enjoy my happy life. The threads lately has brought it back up and I will be a voice in case others don't have theirs yet.
The not believing is a huge part of the problem. It allows it to continue and the offender just keeps offending.

We have to get graphic to wake up to the desensitization going on towards this subject.
As an adult, we have a responsibility. It's not about making a decision, but being responsible. There should be no sense of choice or anything to think about. DO NOT TOUCH A FUCKING CHILD. DO NOT TOUCH A BOY. DO NOT TOUCH A GIRL. DO NOT TOUCH TEENAGERS.
There are open pedophiles. It's not the fact that these men and women are attracted to children and see no wrong in being it just that.
It's the responsibility as an adult to say "even though I like kids, I will not ever..". The fact that these people march and protest for the right to have sex with someone's child, to fight for the right to have sex with my children, your children -

Blow their fuckin brains out.
