What is the Most Effective Means of Solving/Treating the Problem of Child Sexual Abuse?

[Plutarch]

Now, do I want us to accept pedophilia? Absolutely not. Do I want us to be lenient towards child sexual abuse? Of course not. What I want is not sympathy but empathy, which is always difficult but also always worthwhile. If we understand those who abuse children, perhaps we can begin to finally make moves to not only prevent people from becoming abusers but to also prevent abuse itself.

Let me put it this way: let's say Person A is a pedophile (never mind the potential fact that pedophilia is a mental illness and that nature can account for who and what a person is sexually attracted to). However, Person A is not a full-blown sociopath/psychopath and realizes that his/her sexual attraction to children is not right. For this reason, Person A wants to seek help. But society has demonized pedophilia to such extreme lengths that Person A cannot even seek help to treat his affliction. Thus, Person A never receives help and eventually succumbs to his "sickness." Isn't that a likely real-life scenario to which we have contributed? Seems like a Catch-22. Don't we get so caught up in hate that we actually forget about the important objective of protecting children?

For starters, do you think that accessible, public treatment facilities and other resources (even if just to study their brains after executing them) for pedophiles would be feasible today? If so, do you think such means would help stop/prevent pedophilia? Or would they do nothing or make it worse?

Anyone that endangers children should be hanged on sight. Point blank. There shouldn't be a parent in this world that thinks different. I don't want, or need, to understand their afflictions. They gosta go. Children are our most precious resource and should be treated as such.

Know where your young children are at and with whom at all times. Educate them about their bodies and safety. Stranger danger is real! Keep the lines of communication open. Pick up on your kids body language. Make zero excuses for child molestation.

I respect your position, and I think most people feel that way (I'm well aware that I'm going against the grain). But we'll just have to agree to disagree. I think it's very possible that your method isn't the most effective at actually protecting children. Imo, it just deals with the symptoms. It's after the fact. And drives pedophilia underground, making it potentially more dangerous and undetectable.

100% agree.

Most sexual abuse happens between the child and someone they know, usually family.

I agree with the zero tolerance stance but if someone has those proclivities they should be able to find some kind of therapy to help.

It's not effective because that's not what we employ. Making people feel bad only goes so far in curving an unhealthy affliction. If muhfuckas knew that they'd lose their life behind this sick fuckery, I betchu those "proclivities" would go flying out the window.

Know this... I would gladly spend the rest of my days in prison and sell my soul to the devil if someone harmed a hair on my son's head and I could kill them for it.

Jared should be dead, not studied.

Death is not a deterrent. Never has been. Most sexual abuse goes unreported anyway

When has death been used as a deterrent on a grand scale, as it relates to this issue?

 

[2stepz_ahead]

certain wrds give the illusions of hurting kids and we all against that right....

do we have another worf for how niggas in the hood hurt kids mentally and emotionally in these streets and make them not want more out of life.....

why is that excepted or we ut it all on the kid as ..he just wasnt tough enough

Castration for offenders

Your op is exactly what I had in mind. People need to get past the emotional aspect enough to think clearly and realize that whenever human habits are suppressed, they only becomes stronger and manifest in distorted ways. How many examples do we need before we learn? The suppressed sexual appetites of priests, the drug war, prohibition... Etc etc

I honestly think them being able to be labeled without the fear of chastised (however warranted it may be! Trust) would make for a more Heathly society in that aspect.

I don't think people can help that they are pedophiles. I think they are mentally ill. BUT if they act on those impulses, knowing the damage it can cause to a child, they should be locked away for the rest of their life. The chances repeat offending are too great. Death would not be a deterrent for people like this.

If someone came out and said "I'm attracted to children, I don't know whats wrong with me, I want it to stop, I need help, and I've never touched a child inappropriately" I would actually have sympathy for that person. Plus lots of molesters are fucked up in the head because they were raped as kids too, although I do think that's something alot of convicted sex offenders say now a days and maybe isn't always true.

I dont know about solve or treat, but it needs to criminalized and punished consistently.

Unfortunately, it seems a certain group of people that appear more likely to commit the act are doing the sentencing. Which leads to the Jareds, Sanduskys, and alleged pedo rings. If you catch my drift.

Death or the threat thereof isn't a deterrent in any issue. Why would this be different?

 

[CeLLaR-DooR]

Could be that there are a lot more people with paedophilic thoughts who don't act on them than we think. Maybe most paedophiles don't actually abuse children. Maybe most do. Difficult to do anything without some numbers.

 

[deadeye]

I look at that as a sickness that can't be cured.

Some people are just bad seeds........born damaged.

There really is no way to "fix" something like that other than to remove them from society when they get caught.
