My brother spent 10 years in prison for putting his face over several boys' pants, which was sick. The average killer spends less time in prison int his country. Now he can't get any kind of work and has to live off my elderly mother. When he left for prison, his wife left his kids alone and the older boy & 2 sisters did sexual things. My nephew was 12 when he went to 'jail' where he stayed until he was 17. He has had to move numerous times because of landlord discrimination, has had grat difficulty finding a place to live that's far enough from schools, etc. becaue almost all residential areas near jobs have some sort of 'children's area' within 1000 feet. I have a rental house, but it's near schools, parks, etc. I once rented to a RSO who, by coincidence, I knew for a fact was innocent, and I was harrassed by neighbors, the property damaged, even a police officer called me with an ignorant "Do you know who you rented to?" I'm pretty sure I educated him plenty, as courteously as my tense lips would allow. I also personally know more than one true pedophile who will never be cured and I understand why. He's at a lower level than my brother and nephew because he was only caught once. He is actively looking for a 'girl' friend. He would never hurt a child in any other way, however. Most pedophiles would die first before they would physically injure a child & they don't seem to fully understand the injury they do. Killers have a completely separate mentality that has nothing to do with pedophilia, although some people may be both. Our laws are getting so ridiculous, these types will be much more likely to kill a victim because there will be no witness and, if caught, most sex acts are not discernible forensically, so their sentence may be shorter. People need to know more about the reality of this subject and stop being a bunch of nazis, everyone pointing the finger at others for being 'dirty.' We're all 'dirty' sometimes. The worst ones love it when everyone is looking at someone else. Hate sends us in the wrong direction. Pedophilia is very common in our culture because we have so many immature, weak men. We have to start as parents to make our sons into men instead of keeping them our little boys, for our own comfort, support & companionship. That also contributes to the erosion of the family, because men having children are not mature enough for the responsibility. We all have to take responsibility for this mess and we ALL have to clean it up.
