| A future pedophile is born every 45 seconds. What do we do when they come of age? In the last few minutes, another baby was born who around the year 2033 will discover they have a sexual attraction to young kids. They won't know why. By 2033, will there be sex ed in schools that acknowledges this person's situation and offers them blame-free support for it? By 2033, will it be safe for this kid to tell someone about this attraction? By 2033, will there be a strong community of professionals that can support this kid to cope and to avoid offending? By 2033, will science understand what makes the difference between this kid becoming an offender and avoiding it? Will this knowledge inform their treatment? In 2033, will it be possible for this kid not to have to keep this a secret for decades? What progress are we making now, here in 2019 on ensuring these questions will have a hopeful answer in 2033 for the child that was born ten minutes ago when I started this thread, and the others that were born while I finished it? Neurologists, psychologists, counsellors, authors, child protection charities, politicians, MAP community. We have 14 years to get useful help to this child and their currently relieved, overwhelmed, lovestruck parents. Let's keep going. Let's try to be there in time for them. About the author: I have been writing and talking about the experience of being a pedophile since 2017. Once on twitter until my account was banned in 2020, I co-led Virtuous Pedophiles from 2021 to 2025. I now continue to look for ways to improve the lives of pedophiles, but never at the expense of harming children. I have never viewed illegal material, and never sought or engaged in sexual activity with any child. The rest of my life is countryside walking, friends, Radio 3 and feeling doleful about ageing. |
