National Human Trafficking Awareness Day is January 11, the article, titled “What the public keeps getting wrong about pedophilia,” was published the day before.
The piece was authored by Alia E. Dastagir, who covers topics like sexism, racism, media ethics and mental health.
“When most of the public thinks of pedophilia, they assume it’s synonymous with child sexual abuse, a pervasive social problem that has exploded to crisis levels online. Researchers who study pedophilia say the term describes an attraction, not an action, and using it interchangeably with ‘abuse’ fuels misperceptions,” Dastagir wrote.
She continued, “Not all people who sexually abuse children are pedophiles. Some pedophiles never abuse children, experts say, and some people who sexually abuse children do not sexually prefer them, but use them as a surrogate for an adult partner. They may be disinhibited and anti-social, with impulse control problems.”
The author went on to discuss the recent case of Allyn Walker, a former professor at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, who recently resigned after his desire to “destigmatize pedophilia” went viral. He also referred to pedophiles are “Minor Attracted Person,” a phrase commonly used by pedophiles online who often use anonymous accounts to find one another.
“There is growing support in the field for Walker’s point of view. While Cantor said there’s no treatment that can turn a pedophile into a non-pedophile, pedophiles can be taught self-control and compensatory strategies, which he said is more likely if they’re under the care of a professional. He argues that pedophiles need to be able to access therapy, which can be difficult since those afflicted may be ashamed to seek help or worried about being reported to the authorities if they do,” the USA Today article said in defense of the disgraced academic.

“there’s no treatment that can turn a pedophile into a non-pedophile”
Sure there is and it’s really fast and cheap.
A permanent cure, too.
Reprobates.
Better to tie a millstone around your neck, and cast yourself into the sea, than scndalize a little one.
Perfect
Yup. A few grains of powder, a few grams of lead encased in steel delivered at extreme velocity cures pretty much everything under the sun when it comes to things that crawl out from under rocks.
That’ll do it.(cool screen name ya got there.)
que the “turn the Other Cheek” Christians and freepers that will try to say Jesus would turn the other cheeck to the pure perversion and debauchery that is rampant in the world.
And we’re all just close-minded pedophobes. If we could be more open about them, they can proceed with phase 2 and demand even more “rights” at everyone else’s expense. Especially the children’s.
“Dude.....you have sex with children!”
men used to take of all these sorts of pervert problems
then wimmin said leave the gays and lesbos alone
they don’t harm anyone
they just want to live in peace
then recognized and accepted
then get holidays and parades
then came the trannys and exclusive child lovers
because see the older homos/lesbos usually prey on younger ones, they target a confused younger boy or girl and screw them up by rape, male or female rape
and its rape even when wimmin do it, if underage girls cant consent even when they want to do it with males, they cant consent to a lesbo raping them
thanks girls
men used to take care of this crap
but you didn’t want us to because we were brutes and neanderthals not as enlightened and forward thinking as you
Anywhere there are kids there will be pedophiles. From schools to playgrounds to kids sports groups, churches etc.etc. Often teachers or instructors because they select career paths that will put them closer to kids.
Society promoting various genders and sexual education in our kids school is setting them up so they can’t identify ‘danger’ in those people.
They’re trying to normalize it because like CNN they have waves of pedos on payroll.
“Defining deviancy down.”
