Mistaken pedophilia

unless its true. i mean, even some of the most evil people often have friends and family who believe they'd never harm anyone. lets hope its not true in this case.

and i've seen idiocracy. one of the scariest movies i've ever seen.

 

the only scary thing about that movie was watching it.

 

i think parents should learn to be better parents instead of being paranoid nutters who should be locked up for their own safety

This may be an unusual point of view, but I think parents who demonize actual pedophiles are doing their children a disservice. Same with rapists.

Moral outrage is a natural reaction to pedophilia and rape, yet these are human beings in need of help. They are few, and likely have a history of abuse themselves.

Other than alerting the authorities when we have actual evidence, there isn't much we can do.

As a parent, I would want to instill a healthy example of boundaries in my children, but I certainly wouldn't want to pass on an imaginary world in which there is a boogeymonster behind every tree or around every corner.

 

there is no helping pedos.

 

I wouldn't know.

Do you know any?

And I don't mean Michael Jackson. You don't know Michael Jackson.

 

Of course not. There is much scientific evidence to suggest it and I am quite convinced that you have read it and re-read it with much fervour.

 

just like the gays...no helping them. but we try

 

LOL!

 

I talked to him. He said that this new bf is really controlling and that his ex even said that she isn't allowed to have friends. Now the little girl is saying things that she never did before, and my friend hasn't been around them in months. I don't know. He said that his niece babysat for the little girl. My friend had set that up so that his ex wouldn't have to worry about childcare while she worked. *shrugs* The bf went apeshit when he found out that it was my friend's niece that was babysitting.

It's a weird situation.

 

There are always two sides to every story, but you have to ask yourself why a girl would want somebody like that in her life.

 

i used to ask myself things like that all the time. then i gave up and accepted it for what it is...

 

Yeah. I saw a girl getting slapped around a bit yesterday afternoon by her live-in boyfriend. This morning, I saw them holding hands, leaving for work together.

 

My mom stayed with my dad for a few years when he was abusive. She told me that he crushed her self-esteem and she felt worthless without him. Having me helped her get away - she said I was something to fight for.

So I don't get why women with kids already would enter into a relationship like that...but then again I'm not them.

 

I read a great novel by Roddy Doyle about a woman in an abusive relationship. It really opened my eyes as to why some stay put, but yeah, when it starts early in a relationship, I can't understand why people put up with it.

By the way, the book was called 'The Woman Who Walked into Doors.'
