    So say you have a child, when in adulthood, he/she turned out having a sexual attraction to children -

    - Would you still love your child?

    - Would you disown them?

    - Would you come to accept it?

    Still love:
    Yes

    Disown:
    Depends on whether they banged kids

    Accept:
    No.

    I still would love my child to an extent (that being if he/she had committed any crimes yet).
    I would see them as mentally sick.
    Accept it? No. I would seek them help - and report them if necessary.

    So long as they remained 'virgins'.
    Two scenario's:

    You find out they are paedophile's from another source. I'd tend towards disowning them.

    You find out from the horses mouth so to speak and they acknowledge it's a problem, then I'd have to support them.

    I would be devastated if my child was a paedophile. I dunno if I could love them the same tbh.
    I would get help for them but would find it hard to trust them again.
    I would never accept it but would not disown them.

    I dunno. I mean, a four year old 'fancying' other children is pretty normal isn't it?

    I think you may be overreacting a little.

    Why would you want to protect them?

    I'd blackmail them to get the morgage paid off in double-time.

    I would like to think Same as above and certainly have them watched and if need be under supervised watch.


    BTH don't know what I do and going on my current state of mind would rather them be locked up and away from the general public.

    Ok so says you find out and then it turns out your partner abused them which contributed to the problem by messing with their normal sexual development.:eek:

    Then I would blame myself for marrying a paedophile and not protecting my child.

    I'd probably try and keep it under wraps and send the child off somewhere in secret where someone can try and cure the child.

    You?

    I was kidding.

    Real answer. I have no idea how I'd react but I'd imagine it's very hard to switch of loving/caring for someone even if they were a peadophile.
