With all due respect, both these documents are from a religious leaning organization. Show me something from medical journals. I like world net daily as much as the next person, but you need to admit that it is very right leaning. The ONLY thing I don't like about FR is gay bashing.

If we executed child molestors as quickly as they are caught, the incidence of child molestors in both gay and straight populations would be extremely low, almost zero. I imagine that a huge percentage of molestation events are committed by a small number of abusers who offend again and again without ever being punished, or punished lightly and ineffectively and then released again. (I also think that very few such abusers were not abused themselves; it's a self-perpetuating madness.)

The sick people who are interested in copulating with persons whose genitalia and minds are immature are just not curable. There is no sound biological, spiritual, or social reason for keeping them alive. We need to send them on to a better judge and physician than any we have.

Then those who bash gays because some gays molest could turn to other fallacies.

Dr Judith Reisman used the Department of Justice's own data...

Those who object to pornography have pointed out the obvious. Some children exposed to pornographic images will be terrorized. Some will become coarsened and brutish. Even former ACLU executive Barry Lynn, admitted during a speech at the Cato Institute in Washington, D.C., that some people will commit copy-cat sex crimes based on a media experience. On the evidence, some adults and children will sexually experiment on younger siblings and other family as well as neighbor children and schoolmates.

The NIBRS [July 2000, U.S. Department of Justice, National Incident-Based Reporting System] admission that 67 percent of all sex assault victims were reported as children 0-17 years old and that 37 percent of these attacks were made on children under 12, largely excluded from FBI "forcible rape" data, undermines any claims of a safer society.

Girl delinquency increased 186 percent from 1987-1996; over 2.7 million children were reportedly criminally attacked in schools in 1997; we have roughly 1 million runaways (more than half enter prostitution) and 550,000 children in foster care, often battered and abused, and a helix of child victims of cyberporn since 1999.

These real world data are not reflected in the FBI numbers.

...all sexual abuse of children under age 12 had been systematically purged by the national data collecting agencies.

Moreover, while 67 percent of all sex abuse victims are children under 18 years of age, with roughly 4 percent of males identified as either bi- or homosexual, this small cadre is largely responsible for NIBRS data finding 64 percent of all forcible sodomy victims to be boys under age 12, most under age 5. Given that, the problems inherent in homosexuals as guides and mentors to youth looms large.

The 348 percent increase in child abuse reports -- using data from the American Human Association and NCANDS, 1990 to today -- confirms the NIBRS boy-abuse data. Previously, the AHA documented a 1,028 percent increase in child sex abuse reports in six years from 1976 to 1982.

And, regression estimates for the year 2000 find a 4,169 percent increase in child sexual abuse. Even if the statistical data are lower by 1,000 percent, which is statistically unlikely, the increase is incendiary and establishes institutional malfeasance and/or amazing indifference by state-supported researchers and administrators toward children....

Something tells me you don't discount the praise for gay relationships in "left leaning" literature. So transparent..not surprising such "tolerance" for sin from an admitted single mother of three

Gay advocates correctly state that most child molesters are heterosexual males. But this is a misleading statement. In proportion to their numbers (about 1 out of 36 men), homosexual males are more likely to engage in sex with minors: in fact, they appear to be three times more likely than straight men to engage in adult-child sexual relations Freund, K. and R.

While no more than 2% of male adults are homosexual, some studies indicate that approximately 35% of pedophiles are homosexual. K. Freund et al., Pedophilia and Heterosexuality vs. Homosexuality, Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy 10 (Fall 1984): 197.
