[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To answer OP's question:

Pornography.

Molestation of children has always happened.  But it has gotten much, much worse with internet pornography.  My husband works with the FBI and has prosecuted many child abuse and rape cases.  His training clearly shows internet pornography exacerbating the problem.  Because it takes men who were not "born this way," molested as children themselves, in a state of arrested development, etc., and leads them gradually into child porn, then acting out child porn.  It normalizes and desensitizes, and creates a "need" where there was none before.  This widens the pool of perpetrators.[/quote]

This is utter bullshit. We may be hearing about and prosecuting more cases, but it's just irrational to say that it's "much much worse" than ever before. You have bought into the 24-hour news sensationalization of the phenomenon. Note the number of posters on every thread who say they were molested as children... pre-internet. I have just as much evidence to say that molestation was MORE common before the internet, as the wrong-wired folks had no other outlet for their proclivities, as you have to say that internet porn has increased the problem.

I believe that if we had more male teachers, we'd see less molestation, or more cases caught early. It's very important for children to know what a normal, respectful relationship with a man looks like, so that they can identify a bad relationship. If the only man in your life is mom's boyfriend, and he tells you it's normal, how are you to know otherwise? A male role model could field questions that children might not bring up with a female teacher. The more eyes looking out from the more different perspectives, the better.

You did not read my post carefully.  My husband works with law enforcement, and has been a prosecutor.  His training includes statistics, studies, and interviews with convicts.  The porn connection is fact.  It is not complicated.[/quote]
