Preventing child sex abuse must involve treating pedophiles, even past offenders, say experts - CBC Radio
This is one of those takes that's so controversial I'm afraid to post it, which is exactly why I have to.
I neither endorse nor disavow this, and no, I'm not in the picture.
If there's a way to reduce the amount of sexual violence people inflict on children than it should be at least explored. Focusing on ensuring past sex offenders don't recommit the same crimes is not a bad thing at all.
A lot of it is because it is a cycle. Breaking that cycle will free us from this trauma
Pedophiles are pretty much the most hated group in society. Even serial killers can be chic. I'm confident most of the population leans more towards that executions than letting a convicted kiddy diddler anywhere near them. That being said, I'm glad and mildly surprised to see my inbox isn't full of hate.
I will say that we should either hurry up and gas them, or actually try to integrate them into society. Dealing with it neither way is both cowardly and irrational. And man, can you imagine how much it would suck if you just were naturally attracted to kids and nothing else?
Pedophiles although superproblematic, are surprisingly not the group of people that do the most child molesting. In most cases, the offenders are sexual predators attracted mainly to adults that focus on children because they're an easier target, not because they are optimally attractive to them. Very often they are people from the child's family.
As to people who have paedophilic desire - rather than those who actually rape children - there wasa very interesting thread I read a while back, on Reddit I think, of "I'm a paedophile, AMA". Very interesting to see the experience of a couple of people who have that attraction but choose not to molest children by acting on it.
Child sexual abuse is a very serious evil, but regarding attraction to children, I think treatment's a very appropriate route.
Most pedophiles are not child molesters. Most people who have sexually abused children are not pedophiles. Watch out for unconscious ableism.
Pedophiles are pretty much the most hated group in society.
Not so. Some of them are lauded and widely admired by the populace as heads of congregations.
I mean, the priesthood is “club med” for pedophiles.
Not sure how your systems work in Canada but within US we are unable to provide social services to the more deserving people.
I don't see how this position within current socio economic conditions is viable.
Serial pedos gonna need to be disposed of.
The issue is that current regime protects them because they are in position of relative power like catholic clergy, teachers, political whores or just rich...
These people don't want even get in trouble for their deeds.
Family members get protected by the family a lot of times too lol
So you're on the "gas them" side, then. One issue there is that it's against agreed to human rights principles, so we'll either need to reconsider those, or come up with a consistent way of dismissing them (like we have in warfare). There's also the slippery slope argument - maybe it's pedos today, but what about normal killers, and then people who steal from charities and the vulnerable, and eventually just normal people we don't like.
As for the politics Lots of them are ordinary or poor. The vast majority, even. Hopefully you're not on the QAnon thing.
I do understand that laws will get abused against normal people like death penalty was used against blacks in the US. That's I don't blind shill gas them but at some point I think parents should be able to kill a pedo and let jury decide
I don't see any crime;)
Also, there is nothing qnon here... We have sufficient evidence of systematic cover of powerful pedophiles. Low level clowns get prosecuted pretty regularly but even these idiots get protected.
Tell me how this story makes you feel...
I think we can all agree on the problem solution to this shit stain.
But the bigget issue here are disgusting law enforcement who should also suffer similar fate but that's just like an opinion.
