Study finds disproportionate abuse by 'gays'

A six-year study of sexual abuse committed by foster parents in Illinois found a highly disproportionate percentage of the cases were homosexual in nature.

About one-third were same-sex while estimates are that no more than 3 percent of people in the general population say they engage in homosexual acts.

An article in the March issue of the peer-reviewed publication Psychological Reports presented data analyzed by Dr. Paul Cameron, chairman of the Colorado-based Family Research Institute.

Cameron believes it's likely the Illinois figures reflect the situation among the nation's estimated half-million foster children.

"What's shocking, is that 34 percent of the molestations were homosexual," Cameron told the Illinois Leader.

According to a DCFS spokeswoman, the agency does not track the sexual orientation of prospective foster or adoptive parents.

"We track our foster and adoptive parents on the basis of their being single or married. That's it," Marjorie Newman told the paper last year.

The agency would not say whether the information would lead to a change in policy.

The study showed 1 percent of Illinois foster and subsidized-adoption children are molested and 3 percent are abused physically every year.

"Professional societies are so taken with gay rights they are ignoring the evidence," said Cameron. "Just last year, the American Psychological Association [APA] declared opposition to 'discrimination against lesbian or gay parents adoption, child custody and visitation, foster care and reproductive health services.'"

Cameron added, "How does the APA answer this new evidence?"

Last year, Newman said the DCFS does not "discriminate based on gender, race, sexual orientation, sexual preference. There is no law that says that a gay or lesbian person cannot adopt."

The Leader acquired information from DCFS through the Freedom of Information Act indicating most sexual abuse of children was by foster fathers, but that foster mothers were responsible for over three-fourths of physical abuse.

The study found 966 foster parents violated their charges. Of those who engaged in both physical and sexual abuse, eight of the 15 abused children of their own sex.

Cameron said Illinois, which has about 60,000 children in 4,300 foster or adoption-subsidized homes, was the first state to disclose details about abuse.

Vatican Document on Homosexuality
"Homosexual unions are totally lacking in the biological and anthropological elements of marriage and family which would be the basis, on the level of reason, for granting them legal recognition. Such unions are not able to contribute in a proper way to the procreation and survival of the human race. The possibility of using recently discovered methods of artificial reproduction, beyond involving a grave lack of respect for human dignity,(15) does nothing to alter this inadequacy."

LET THE TRUTH BE TOLD!

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

The truth about this is as likely to get media attention as the truth about the SpongeBob controversy was -- Zero chance.

[squirt-gun]

Why would anyone be "shocked" at the sodomizing of children entrusted to them by the State since homosexuals are proud sodomites themselves.

""What's shocking, is that 34 percent of the molestations were homosexual," Cameron told the Illinois Leader."

Only shocking to those who kept their heads in the sand. And the same people wonder why BSA wants to keep the queers out of Scouting.

True it is. And the media, in all forms, continues to GLORIFY AND PATRONIZE the queers, their repulsive, perverted life style, and the diseases they continue to propogate. To say nothing, of what the judiciary has done with "HATE CRIME LAW" to encourage and protect these 'people'. Aaarrrgghh.

Its hard to believe such a small segment of the population can make so much friggen noise. I sooo tired of everything gay.

Does anybody know anything about Dr. Paul Cameron and the Family Research Institute. I visited their website. There is no biographical information on Dr. Cameron. Also, it states that it is a nonprofit, but there is no information on the board of directors, or any board of advisors.

I decided to email them about this, but there is no way to contact them by email. I find this very curious and it gives me pause. The search for truth requires us to scrutinize the validity of asertions we agree with and wish to be true.

I also could not find a website for Psychological Reports.

Unfortunately, the foster care system has been out of control for many years. It doesn't surprise me in the least that there are homosexual foster parents. I've heard shocking tales of abuse within the foster care system :(

Kids are sitting ducks these days.

[bubman]

This is the 800 lbs gorilla in the room that no one wants to deal with. In our day and age, arguing against gay adoptions is tantamount a fascist witchhunt.

[processing please hold]

Who cares if the children are molested as long as the gays can have their right to........(sarcasm)

[skimask]

To put it in a perspective that people can understand....picture in your mind two male queers having sex...talk about repulsive.

Unfortunately, this report does not give enough information. All it tells us is that one-third of all sexual abuse against children in foster homes is same-sex. What it does not tell us is whether or not the male(s) who commited the abuse were single, in a adult homosexual relationship, or in an adult heterosexual relationship. Without this information, we really cannot tell whether men who are openly homosexual are more or less likely to be sex abusers.

Some studies suggest that males who abuse little girls and males who abuse little boys are both likely to also have a sexual relationship with an adult woman. The man or men who committed this abuse (and we could well be talking about one or two men since we have eight total cases and sex offenders tend to abuse an average of 117 children each) could well be married.

If the study is saying that children placed in "gay" families are more likely to be abused, that is a useful piece of information. The way this article is worded makes this appear to me like a clever use of statistics. It looks like we are being deceived by our own side here.

For those of you who are fond of ad hominem attacks, I am a married, very heterosexual woman with three children. I think the homosexual lifestyle is wrong from a moral and religious standpoint. I am also fond of the truth, however, and it looks to me that the person behind this report is leaving something out.

Does anybody know anything about Dr. Paul Cameron and the Family Research Institute.

In the mid-1980s, the gay press labeled Paul Cameron "the most dangerous antigay voice in the United States today."2,3,4 Here are some important facts about him.

A number of attacks against Dr. Paul Cameron and Family Research Institute have appeared lately. While such attacks are not new, their volume and intensity is increasing even as the reach and importance of FRI grows.

The New Republic, a left-wing magazine with a circulation of 100,000 and a newly installed homosexual editor, Andrew Sullivan, attacked Dr. Paul Cameron with a two page article October 3,1994 (click here to view this article and resulting correspondence...). His reply and facsimiles of the key documents that were sent to The New Republic are included in this online rebuttal.

Someone needs to forward this to Bill "children are better off in gay foster parenting, than no fostering at all" O'Reilly.
