It is not smearing people with MS to state facts. |
+1000. I bet almost no pedos have MS. There is no connection. If she had cancer I sure hope no one would be saying that cancer made her do it. This person is a deranged pscyho who is trying to get out of jail. |
It's fascinating the way that posters here can't allow any shred of humanity or complexity for this woman. Is it possible she was abused and that's a factor here? Is it possible bipolar or organic MS mania is a factor? No no of course not she's simply evil!
She can be complex and bad at the same time, guys. It doesn't have to be black and white. It sounds like she was struggling with mental and physical health issues that exacerbating some underlying paraphilias. It's not an excuse. For me personally, I need help explaining how a seemingly normal woman broke bad in such a serious manner. Additionally, sex offenders are often very normal people who lead very normal lives. Unpacking the complexities helps process what happened and prevent it in the future. So stop being so incredibly defensive about it. |
Nobody is saying that MS causes pedophilia. We are saying it causes mental health symptoms. This is a medical fact, not a smear. If you don’t like it being mentioned, you don’t like it being mentioned, but it doesn’t make it less of a fact. |

+1 Thank you. |
Please please stop with the "oh she's an abuser well she must've been abused herself". If this sort of thinking were true, there would be an impossibly large number of abusers. While it's certainly true that some abusers were abused themselves, the vast majority were not.
In this study, just 4.6% of abused children were found to become abusers as adults. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/article-abstract/2086458 Another 2019 study finds similarly https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/development-and-psychopathology/article/testing-the-cycle-of-maltreatment-hypothesis-metaanalytic-evidence-of-the-intergenerational-transmission-of-child-maltreatment/C3D3168C2C8B5240075A48F3F074C1A8 |
Obviously neither of you read what she said and really consider she brought handcuffs and a silk robe for a fun Daddy's night for an 8 year old, or you're both sick. Abusers, whether victims or not, make the choice to abuse and there is never an excuse. |
When the Catholic Priest is arrested, nobody is sitting around mulling how he was a complex guy and we need to dial back the black & white thinking and unpack his issues. Just saying.
Paraphilias in general seem poorly understood. |
Sometimes you just have to accept there is pure evil. There is no explanation. |
She has zero sense of humanity. I hope she’s locked up for life. |
+100 who are those people even asking for compassion or empathy for her. Wake up and stop making excuses. |
Your stat shows that a small number of abused children grow up to be abused but that’s not what people are saying. No one says all or even most abused children grow up to be abusers. What PP are saying is that a lot of people who abuse children where themselves abused as children. And I don’t think that’s an excuse, just an explanation. |
What is a fetish website? Why aren’t these monitored for postings about children? |
What? Priest? No we all know the Catholic Church chose the priests over the child and still does As a matter of fact . Or those good old youth minsters or daily pastors are horrific.. You brought this up since you did let’s discuss how churches are coming for our kids under the guise of religion |
