| It is extremely disturbing how many 32 yo men were recently arrested for CP. It seems to be a way more common crime than I ever imagined. |
They've linked Pedophilia to brain damage in the past - some perfectly normal guy hits his head hard or gets in a car accident and then all of a sudden has these crazy urges. They need to do more research and maybe there is a fix for it. One of the most harmful crimes and there is nothing to do but hope you find them before they act on their urges. These men are also probably scared to go to the doctor and say I have this problem, can you help - but we should be encouraging them to identify themselves and seek help. |
| I would tell her that I am ending the friendship because she chose to bail her son out. That action would only be morally defensible had he been immediately confined in a psychiatric facility for treatment. I simply cannot support those who -- even indirectly -- aid those who prey on our children. The offender is troubled but he is an adult who has the ability to rebuild his life, unlike the victims, who are sentenced to decades of mental suffering. |
This 100% |
I’m very sorry that happened. I believe you. |
I believe you, too. |
|
This is not your friend's fault.
But if I were you, I'd keep my distance as much as possible. |

At a risk of being attacked, what is so wrong about bailing him out? He is under surveillance, so he cannot do any harm. This is the chance for the family to talk, get his side of the story, have closures, or just simply be together before he gets locked up, probably for a very long time. He is still her son and I am sure she still loves him. As long as he is no longer threat to society, I think she has all the moral right to bail him out.
|
The problem is if he still wants to access CP he can and will figure out a way to do so. And he very well might do it while living under her roof. So he CAN still do harm and he CAN STILL be a threat as an on-line predator. |
No, he can't- being under surveillance means they are tracking his computer/internet usage, too. |
Oh dear jailing the whole family for dc sins? Hum no If they are found complicit of course but being crappy parents nah. Sometimes a kid is just horrific |
No she does not. This is child porn what do you not understand about that ? And he’s never going to be rehabilitated that’s absurd pedos never do. Out of jail I guarantee he will try again and again and again |
There is no "his side of the story" that needs to be heard. He has destroyed the lives of countless people. I would end the friendship over bailing him out and have no qualms about making that reason known. |
Wrong. Until he has been convicted he has every right to tell his side of the story. |
| What is the point of continuing this friendship? You are never going to want to go to her home. When you really understand what she is doing in housing a pedophile, you won’t want her in your home either. Tell her she needs to get her ish together and stop enabling his crime. |
