The DCFS information shows that 69% of sexual abuse by mothers was of their foster or subsidized-adoptive daughters. In contrast, 14% of the sexual abuse by fathers was of their foster or subsidized-adoptive sons.
These figures lead to some interesting conclusions:
F = # of acts of sexual abuse committed by fathers.
M = # of acts of sexual abuse committed by mothers.
H = # of acts of sexual abuse that are homosexual = .0.14 F + 0.69 M
T = total number of acts of sexual abuse = M + F
h = fraction of acts of abuse that are homosexual = 0.34 = H/T = (0.14 F + 0.69M)/(M + F)
=> F = 1.75 M
So men commit 75% more total acts of sexual abuse against the foster kids than women, but what about the homosexual acts of abuse?
f = fraction of acts of sexual abuse that are homosexual in nature and committed by fathers = 0.14 F / h
= (0.14 x 1.75 M)/(0.14 x 1.75 M + 0.69 M)
= 0.245 M / 0.935 M
= 0.26
m = fraction of acts of sexual abuse that are homosexual in nature and committed by mothers = 1 - f = 0.74
=> Mothers commit 2.84 times as many homosexual acts of abuse (0.74/0.26) as fathers.
In other words either there are a huge number of abusive lesbian foster mothers, or the figures quoted in the article are wrong.
I remember some supposed research from way back that suggested overall that women tended to 'abuse' children more than men did -however, the disproportinate numbers could supposedly be due to women (mothers) being the primary care givers with more contact time with the children (eg. stay at home moms)...
I just noticed your conclusion is flawed in that you assume that the overall homosexual 34% comprised of males and females is distributed the same as the incidence of male and female sexual abuse of foster or subsidized-adoptive children which is incidently not stated as homosexual in nature (could be a composite). So, you can't get there from here...
I would suggest there may be another factor among those that adopt foster or subsidized-adoptive children e.g. delusional jealousy or competition for the male/masculine attention/affection?
In other words either there are a huge number of abusive lesbian foster mothers, or the figures quoted in the article are wrong.
Anecdotal evidence, but evidence just the same:
An excerpt from "Meet 'Women's Auxiliary of NAMBLA'"
Underestimated problem
How prevalent is pedophilia among women?
Hampton says that he gets an average of more than 200 reports related to female pedophilia on the Internet each day, including websites, message boards and other forums.
It's growing, he says of the presence of female pedophilia on the Web, though sites related to male pedophilia are increasing at about 10 times the rate.
"But I was surprised that this was even an issue," he said of female pedophilia. "It's been since about two years ago that we've found it to be quite prevalent."
Linda Halliday-Sumner, a sexual abuse consultant in Courtenay, B.C., Canada, told WND that when she first began in 1980, about 1.5 percent of her cases were women who abuse minors. Within six years that increased to 11 to 13 percent. In the last 10 years, she said, at least 33 percent of her 325 cases a year have been women.
"It is very underreported," she said of the incidences of abuse by females. "When it is reported it's often dismissed or laughed at as not being serious. Motherhood and apple pie, you know – we don't do that sort of thing."
Much of the opposition has been from women's groups.
"I have been strongly attacked and criticized because I've spoken out about female offenders," she said..."
Within the homosexual community, perhaps many more 'lesbians' than 'gays' apply to be foster or adoptive parents. It would be interesting to know what the actual numbers are.
No. The problem is the way it is written. Perhaps intentionally. It did not say that 69% of the abuse was by mothers and 14% by fathers. There could have been 10,000 cases of abuse by fathers and 14% of those 10,000 cases was of their foster sons. There might have only been 20 cases of abuse by mothers as contrasted with the thousands by fathers.
Somehow I think the MSM doesn't want to acknowledge that thousands of gays are abusing young boys.They don't want you to know the true incidence of this abuse - hence they provide confusing statistics.
