/rant over today's 'pedophile' talk
You know folks, I've been reading through the day's posts back and forth about what makes a pedophile a pedophile, and it makes me a little...well...I'm going to come right out and say it...
Angry.
On a daily basis, I deal with real honest-to-god pedophiles. And since we're here I'll tell you what I'm talking about, and why I feel the way I feel. One particular 'man' I guess I have to call him, raped his girlfriend's 6 month old daughter. Hard to take, even for me, who has become pretty jaded by all the s** I've seen and dealt with in 24 years of combined jail/police/prison experience.
Then it ranges down to the ones that are locked up for having kiddie p*** that they've purchased, or websites that they cruised. There are some that try to say they put people in prison that 'mistakenly' went on one of those websites one time. Bullshit. The ones we house went to the sites thousands upon thousands of times. It's right on their hard drives. Or materials that's been found in their homes that they've either printed off or gotten in the mail. That's not a mistake.
I had a couple of guys that were going into the shower together after midnight. Both going into the shower together, and going into the shower after midnight are no-no's in the system. I didn't catch them, thank god, but I was given a tip what was happening. I brought both out to the office to tell them to stop. One was in his 60s, the other in his 20s. The older one did all the talking. He said he was trying to 'protect' the younger one.
Then he tried to tell me how that he was there 'just for viewing kiddie p***' and that he didn't have any victims, and woe-is-me garbage. I stopped him right then and there. I told him that anything he viewed and purchased had victims in it. If he didn't cause a demand for this type of garbage, there wouldn't be children (and I'm talking children) forced to do the things that he enjoyed looking at, whether he actively molested children or not. I was rather upset at this point, and told the two to leave my office.
Now, let's talk about the guy Gary was referring to. When the boom is about to come down on a pedophile, their favorite thing to do is to try to get the victim to feel sympathy for them, about how 'sick' they are, and if they're given a chance, they'll get help. Trying to save your ass any way you can is the 'human' thing to do.
Last--pretty 16 and 17 year olds in shorty-shorts and revealing clothes. Yep, they're pretty, and yep, they get my attention. But what gets my attention in the first place? The shapely body of a woman, most times seen from a distance. Or maybe bent over ten feet from me. But then as she stands up, or gets closer to me, I can see her face, and/or listen to her talk, and see her actions. Then I see the child in them. Slaps me back into reality really fast. Of course, I'm 47 years old. If, I was 22 or so, probably not. Yes, there is a difference in that case.
