    This is an entirely factual statement and in no way a load of made up bollocks.

    I don't know, you're confusing me now. I am saying I would protect my own child by not turning them in.

    That's basically my point. If anyone molested my child though they'd be wearing cement shoes. ya ?

    Why would I care about someone I don't know or have ever met though ?


    The question is what would you do if you found out your child was a paedophile ?

    My own children mean everything to me & I would die for them
    Aren't you the person who told people they were lying when they said they'd die for their child(ren) in that other thread?

    Well that raises a serious question. If we accept homosexuality and heterosexuality as something that a person has no choice in, then we must do the same for a paedophile. In which case, can we hate them purely for being a paedophile, since they had no choice? Or should we only hate them if they act on their feelings?

    If it is a mental illness, then can they be held responsible for their actions?

    And either way, can we have pity for someone who must spend almost all of their lives with intense feelings that they can never (legally) express? Imagine being heterosexual and never being able to act on your sexuality for your entire life.

    Personally whilst I despise what they do, I do still feel some pity for them.
    While paedophilia is classified as a preference just like heterosexuality and homosexuality, neither of the latter are classified as a mental disorder as acting on these impulses is generally consensual and does not inflict damage on anyone involved.

    Would your reaction be the exact same if your child was gay?

    Being gay and being a pedophile are both equally as unnatural. The only difference is acting on the urges is morally wrong in the case of being a pedophile because a child cannot legally give consent
    Exactly. Therein is the difference, hence no need to report. The equally unnatural thing is just your prejudiced opinion, not a fact.
    despite what popular opinion says and how the media may want to shape our minds.
    I and many others, unlike some, have enough critical faculties to make up my own mind that people can't help it if they're gay - nothing to do with anything the media tells me.

    never answered the q. I think anyone who finds a child sexually attractive is mentally ill, children are not sexual beings. I'm more inclined to think it's a psychopathy and I don't believe they can be cured either. I honestly don't know what I would do if my child was a paedophile. I don't think I could love them, although I would probably hate myself even more for producing one.

    But how do parents produce one ?

    Just asking here, as a father & grandfather myself it is a very difficult question to answer.

    the same way people produce children who are mentally or physically impaired or disabled. If it is something as natural as a genetic abnormality then I doubt anyone has a say in who produces what. But if they are a danger to society I'd like to think that there would be ways of controlling it through medication/sterilisation or some form of medical treatment

    In 128% of cases it's either because the parents abused them or it's genetic. Either way it's your fault and you should shoot yourself in the face.

    Bingo, although it is perhaps generalising a bit... As with most things with children, whatever the unhealthy addition (alcohol etc. etc.), before one even considers judging the child they should be judging themselves as a parent.

    just to add, I don't think there ever is just one cause, be it genetic, mental disorder, the consequence of a physical injury or trauma, the result of childhood abuse or general psychopathy maybe it's a combination of one or more of these things, either way I would seek medical intervention and do my best to make sure they never harm anyone. I think that's what most parents would wish from their children.

    [edit- sad subject to have to discuss all the same]

    No problem with it at all as long as they did not act on it they can hardly help who they are attracted to. If they realised they were attracted to children and did not act on it I would pity them if anything.

    I would protect the child obviously, Why would I send him into the police or tell anyone about it jeez. I'd keep it under wraps, protect him / her at all costs.

    Once they hit 18 I'd probably send them into the priesthood
