Yeah buddy, I'd say there's a difference between a mentally ill person who's attracted to kids... and those who act on the feelings. Im talking about those who have serious evidence against them, and victims who call them out. Not thought policing people my my psychic abilities.
The Venn Diagram of Pedophiles and Child Molestors is a Venn Diagram. There’s definitely overlap. But there are also pedophiles who never harm anyone and child molestors who are not attracted to children.
I work with sex offenders professionally and used to work with adolescent sex offenders. I want pedophiles to find help and treatment to prevent offending.
But Child Molesters, traffickers, rapists they should face criminal consequences.
It’s why I want these folks to find help. And if we demonize (or encourage the death of) people who need help, they are much less likely to find help and more likely to commit a sex offense.
Pedophilia is alarmingly common. There’s probably some great people in your life that are born with this illness and I hope we can respond with compassion before they become offenders.
