Thanks for that article! In 1988, 114, 600 attempted non-family abductions (mostly 4-11 yrs old), 3,200 - 4,600 successful abductions... They should have specified WHERE it all took place.

Umm, must have one heck of an income as principal (private school maybe?) to afford multiple trips to Disneyland, etc.

Exactly...but he does have to set time aside to wash the family car.....

Keep in mind he is a principal, not a teacher. His job is to sit in his ivory tower and make arbitrary rules for others to follow it's all for the chilren. Yes, I know I'm being unfair. Maybe Kalifornia schools are better than Texas.

Here, let me help....

Statistician, Bureau of Justice Statistics

*Offenders who had victimized a child were on average 5 years older than the violent offenders who had committed their crimes against adults.  Nearly 25% of child victimizers were age 40 or older, but about 10% of the inmates with adult victims fell in that age range.

*Inmates who victimized children were less likely than other inmates to have a prior criminal record--nearly a third of child-victimizers had never been arrested prior to the current offense, compared to less than 20% of those who victimized adults.

Other situational offenders see children as a substitute for an adult partner. Although these types of offenders do not harbor a singular sexual desire for children, they may react to a built up sexual impulse or anger, that to them, is irresistible. However, the victim is incidental.

It could have been a store clerk, an elderly person or simply a woman walking down a lonely street. Because of the circumstances at hand, such as the Polly Klaas incident, the victim happened to be a child. His main criterion for a victim is availability. The situational child molester will usually have few victims, sometimes only one, and never repeat the event again. He could be a social misfit or a psychopathic personality who harbors a seething resentment and hostility towards society in general.

It should be said from the very beginning that no one knows how many pedophiles exist in America since the overwhelming majority never fulfil their fantasies, nor do they come to the attention of law enforcement agents. They seem content to fantasize in the safety of their own homes.

The most common type of pedophile personality is the immature model. These people have never been able to maintain a successful interpersonal relationship with others. At some point in their lives, they discover that sexual activities with pre-pubescent children can be achieved and they feel a sense of fulfilment they cannot obtain anywhere else. They are classified as loner deviants and usually will not associate with other deviants. Since they lack social contact with others, they spiral downward into deeper recesses of pedophilia and fantasies[1].

Pedophiles can be found at every social and economic level and can be established members of the community. Sadly, we have all read stories  in local newspapers concerning members of clergy, respected businessmen and schoolteachers who were exposed as pedophiles or child molesters.

Many of these offenders have extensive collections of child pornography or child erotica that feed their fantasy world. These photos and drawings will typically be cut outs from newspapers and magazines that other people would find inoffensive or even innocuous. Pedophiles will frequently videotape children from television shows and commercials. They will also attend sporting events in schools and surreptitiously tape these events. Undoubtedly, the notorious video clip of JonBenet Ramsey participating at a Colorado beauty pageant has found its way into the video libraries of pedophiles across the country.

These collections of pornography are often considered the pedophile's most valued possession. The collection represents years of work and symbolizes, in tangible form, his inner most sexual fantasies and thoughts. The collection will consist of slides, commercial photos, souvenirs, toys, Polaroids and virtually any other type of material that relates to or displays any minute reference to child sex. Child erotica collections will vary in quality and quantity, often depending upon the economic status of the collector. Police have found that the older the pedophile, the more extensive the collection will be. Since true child pornography requires a clandestine effort to obtain, the majority of these collections will be erotic in nature as opposed to pornographic. And often the focus will be upon one or two aspects of sexuality. Preferential child molesters especially, preserve these types of collections and will do anything to safeguard them. Offenders have been known to make formal requests to the police agencies to return these items after their case has been adjudicated.

[Wesley Allen] Dodd spent much of that evening preparing a photo album, which he labeled, "P-1." It was to fit neatly into his scheme of things, and would eventually become as intimate a souvenir as his diary. He wrote instructions on one of the pages that the following key to the picture sections would apply when it was finished:

"P-photos by other photographers, old and new, some 'art.'"

"C-photos of children I see nude, or get them to pose for me, but I have no sex contact with."

"V-photos of children in a more than once (sexual molestation) relationship, whom I trust to keep quiet.

Some of these photos may have me in them also."

"M-photos of children who I forced, or they cooperated, either way ending in M(urder)."

Interestingly, but without benefit of an explanation, several of the "art" photos that Dodd placed into his album were of religious art works that depicted, for example, Mary, Joseph, and the Christ child; the birth of Christ; Virgin and Child; and so forth. He placed behind these religious photos a number of other "art" photographs of nude children. Surprisingly, these photos were not pornographic, at least not to anyone with normal sexual orientation. But the photos that he had cut out from a number of commercially published photography books were very pornographic to Dodd and others like him.

To a pedophile, even advertisements that depict children modeling underwear would be pornographic.

I wonder who has more pent up desire/rejection,

DW who reportedly had some rum & cokes got inebriated and drove home seeing the Pizza Partyers leave without him (he might have had some dirty pics on his computer), or Keith who smoked dope, drank, took a V pill and saw his stated intended go upstairs to someone else and he is left scorned and primed (high & dry?!)

From your website

Kidnaping accts for 2.0% 3.1% of molestation cases...Homicide 9.0% 10.3% Murder 6.8 8.9,

Fresno, maybe that IS what I read..and came to the conclusion that I did..thanks! Not sure...it's not about being snatched, BUT it discusses being in the victims home. SO with all the facts, guesses etc being thrown around, I'm not surprised that I was in error...IF that is the report/article i am referring to.

Child victimizers in prison were much more likely than violent offenders against adults to have committed the crime in their own home or the victim's home
Half of the offenders serving time for negligent manslaughter of a child reported that the offense took place in a public place such as a street or park. More than half of the child abuse offenders said that the offense took place in their own home.

---------------------------------------------

More than 8 in 10 violent crimes against children that offenders reported took place in their own homes were forcible rapes or sexual assaults.

Let's also consider David Westerfield's age. He is 50 years old, and although there are many, healthy, active 50 year olds out there, it seems more logical to predict that when Westerfield went home after a night of boozing it up, he was way too tired to even THINK of S..E..X! Think people, think!

BTW, strange how Damon KNEW when Dad's closed and that was when his wife would be home...she really must have made going to Dad's a habit for him to say that.

No one has been able to come up with a plausible explanation WHY Brenda and Damon BOTH denied knowing David Westerfield, under any conditions, other than greeting him on the street as a "neighbor". Why are they hiding their relationship with Westerfield?????

That makes DW's health and meds pertinant ... and why I made the "Red Bull" comment earlier.

And Damon had been napping earlier, so in the early morning hours Damon would be rested.

I read in alt.true.crime that BVD and Barb Easton met at Dad's 2 or 3 year's ago.

" the picture of the door to side of VD house, looks like someone ran into the door jamb with the lawnmower.

Or a handcart. Possibly moving books, which Brenda reportedly sells, or, large quantities of drugs, which many here have speculated the VD's vend from their garage.

In either case, my guess is regular and repeated use of a handcart, in and out of that door.

So what we have is Brenda made a habit of dating Barbara at Dad's place till the bar closed. Then, she'd give Damon a piece of the action for desert? Sicko's!

I think that Damon also might have "slept it off" to regroup himself for the second half of the Pizza Coke & Pot Party in the A.M.

We definitely need to look into DW's, drinking...meds, effects of combo's and sleeping habit times.
