This article is bogus. The American Psychiatric Association has NOT changed its position on pedophilia. Look at any copy of the APA's diagnostic manual, for example. This is a FALSE story.

I'm not certain this is false. It takes time for versions of the diagnostic manual to catch up with changes in the profession. In 1967 there was popular certainty that homosexualality would never be removed as a disorder. What is written here seems to be coming.

You say it is false, but I didn't see in the article where the APA had changed position. I think it says that it is strongly considering changing.
