Thanks, Cy
So far, I'm fine - but the material on those websites is a real shocker, a wake-up call of sorts.

I think pedophiles are themselves victims of pedophilia
so that is an unbroken chain.  Pete Townshend, guitarist of the Who got in trouble a few years ago because he visited those kinds of web sites.  He is my favorite guitarist and his history of breaking guitars might have resulted from some history or issues in his past.  In Tommy, Tommy is victimized by Cousin Kevin and Uncle Ernie.  I guess Pete got exonerated because they could not prove he had harmed anybody.  One also has to worry about computer viruses when he visits unsavory web sites.  Hope you are fine.

Re: A difficult topic to write about....

Of all crimes this has got to be the worst.  I know this is quite an old fashioned view, but I believe that pedophiles must be demon possessed.  Children are the most defenseless, and closest to innocence of human beings.  Words can not describe what the actions of a pedophile does.

I understand your view, and therein lies your dilemma.  I hope you can make some headway.

It's sick the web sites peoplce can come up with. There are also websites that are pro-anorexia and buliemia. I feel though, the best way to start fighting pedophilia is in your own backyard. Teach your children to defend themselves and be aware of who's in your neighborhood. Also become educated about the warning signs.
