It raises the point of how do we protect children and help these people not become offenders if we generally make it so difficult for them to be open about it?

However hard it may be to get our heads and hearts around, I think it's time to recognise and try to be sympathetic to the underlying condition. After all, it seems a horrific curse to have this attraction.

And FWIW I say this as a father of two who wants to protect his children more not less.

That was a tough read

In parts you feel sick reading them say they are attracted to children as young as one, in parts I almost felt sympathetic as they admitted they don't want to have that attraction and in other parts I just couldn't even comprehend what I was reading. It's hard to get your head around something like that.

Yep. Same here. It's grim reading.

But however hard it may be, it's surely better that we don't reject them so completely that the only people they can turn to are other paedophiles, some of whom are justifying actual child abuse. Them getting proper help — and earlier — would undoubtedly save many victims.

Can't bring myself to read it but get the gist.

Chemical castration?

Maybe. Who knows?

But not a solution if they don't make themselves known. And probably not a solution that active paedophiles are pushing either.

It is certainly worth a read. I know it's tough but I'd suggest that trying to bury it is part of the problem all along.

I'm certainly not trying to bury it; I'm about to make/eat brunch & literally don't have the stomach for it right now.

No idea what those active now want, but one former sex offender I worked with in my days as a probation officer told me it was what he wanted.

Agree that all sex offenders should be encouraged to speak out.

A really interesting article, thanks.

While it was a very uncomfortable read, I think there are positive aspects to it, mainly that there are (seemingly quite a lot) of folk who keep any feelings or urges in check, and know right and wrong. And the differentiation between abusers and this bloke is interesting as well.
The wife and I had sort of discussed a similar topic in the last few weeks, due to a non-incident around our daughters school, and I still really don't know what to think.
