Hate pedos, threaten women and children

Not long ago, someone published a blog post that said that not all paedophiles abuse children, and not all child abusers are paedophiles.

The outrage and venom this small post received was staggering. Message after message called for the writer to be attacked, even murdered - some of which completely missed the irony of wanting to kill the blogger while saying quite seriously that attraction and interest invariably leads to action!

It never ceases to worry me that some people have such violent tendencies. It is a fact that not all paedophiles molest or abuse children, and it is also a fact that not everyone who molests or abuses children is a paedophile.  Not only that, but it is also true that many people who think about doing evil things never carry them out - obviously, or everyone would be killing everyone else all the time! (Except perhaps the violent subnormals who post hatred to blogs about paedophilia).

Now, this is all very well, and sadly not uncommon, but these people went further. Not only did they threaten the writer, they also threatened to attack his wife and family! These people - I use the word biologically rather than socially - decided that attacking innocent people, including women and children, threatening their safety and even their lives, just because someone wrote something they didn't like.

It's always notable, of course, that the haters never manage to put forward any sort of sensible argument for their views, they just rant and rave, in the mistaken belief that this somehow makes them look intelligent.

The blog post and its messages have now been removed, and hopefully the writer and his family are safe. But I can't help wondering, how do the attackers behave in day-to-day life? Do they go round threatening to kill anyone they disagree with? Do they, God forbid, have children of their own? How do they threat children - with love and kindness, or with hate, threats and violence? I'm afraid I know the answer, and it's not the nice one.

I'd much rather my children were friends with a paedophile, who I could trust not to do anything inappropriate, than one of these types, who seem incapable of controlling themselves.

What about the children?

Browsing the pedo-hate sites, as one does from time to time in the vain hope that they might say something intelligent, I noticed something which seemed a little odd: they hardly ever mention the children.

For writers who claim to abhor and campaign against abuse of children (as we all should), the subject is ignored, except in passing as the occasional part of a report on an alleged offender.

Despite claiming to be "committed to the safety and well-being of all children", the writers are much more concerned with character assassination, schadenfreude - including waxing positively ecstatic over deaths or near fatalities - and demonstrating their severe lack of knowledge.

What about actual child abuse? The abhorrent cases that make the news, and the appalling huge number that don't? What about the 8-month-old (yes - a baby!) in Malaysia kicked and punched by her mother, simply, it seems, to make her cry? The 4-year-old in New York made to go out in the snow in his underwear? The 10-year-old in Dallas who died after being deprived of water by his parents? And what about the sickening case of the 15-year-old in London, who was tortured and beaten to death because his mother "thought he was possessed"? I could go on, but that is distressing enough.

What are those "committed to the safety and well-being of all children" doing about the appalling amount of abuse inflicted on children practically right under their noses? Not a lot, it would seem; they are too busy getting hung up about other people's supposed sexual proclivities and shouting a lot on the internet.

I wonder about some people

Why is it that some people see sex in anything and everything?

I came across a post on an "anti-paedophile" blog recently that provides a prime example.

The writer was working herself up at a post on Boychat, here, in which a boylover described how he loved his Young Friend, who it seemed loved hugging and holding hands.

The "anti" decided that, despite a complete lack of evidence, the BL was just a hair'sbreadth away from forcibly raping the boy! Where do these people get their ideas? She said "the boy is not asking to be molested" - which of course is true, but there was no suggestion he was. She also said "he doesn't want you" - which is obviously untrue from the description.

I wonder what causes this obsession with sex and molestation? I have come across it before - usually in "anti" writings - and can't help feeling that these people really ought to see someone. In my experience, it would take a hundred paedophiles to generate as much sexual obsession as one "anti".

I suppose one should feel sorry for them really, if they see sexual overtones in such innocent activities as hugging or holding hands. I can honestly say I don't know anyone who can't do these without leading to something else. I do wonder how they behave in their day-to-day life - do they put skirts on the piano legs, too?

Boy killed for wetting the bed

There are many solutions proposed for children who wet the bed, but this one won't appear in any parenting book - prevent them drinking anything so they won't produce any liquid.

Jonathan James of Dallas has a night-time problem, so his father and stepmother decided to punish him by with-holding water and forcing him to stand in front of the window with the sun beating down on him. Even when he had soemthing stuck in his throat he was forbidden to drink.

When he eventually collapsed and was taken to hospital, the doctors were simply told "he's sick".

This is a prime example of people who should never be allowed near children. Do they just hate kids, are they mentally ill, or just naturally nasty? And does it matter?

Read the who distressing story here.

Slightly luckier was a 9-year-old who was locked in a shed overnight by Mr and Mrs Arthur Warren of Greenville, Virginia; he was staying with them while his parents worked nights, and decided the best way to cure a bit of night-time incontinence was keep him out of the house altogether.

See here for the lowdown on this one.

What is it about people who mistreat children?

I can honestly say that I know not a single boylover or girl-lover would act in such a way.

Son's girlfriend too old? No problem, just kill his chance of getting in the Olympic team

When 17-year-old swimming star Justin Wright told his parents he'd met a nice young lady and was going out with her, instead of asking to meet her, they responded by trying to get him thrown off the swimming team.

Indeed, they emailed not only his coach but other members of the team to try to drum up support, to such an extent that the team had to make an official complaint and Justin was forced to go to court. Then they withdraw funding.

Aparrently Mr and Mrs Wright's objection was based on her age and she "stole him from the cradle". She is only 24 and surely 17 is a bit old to be still in the cradle?

It beggars belief that two people will go to such lengths simply to show opposition to someone they don't know and have never met, based entirely on prejudice, rather than getting to gether and discussing the situation with those involved.

There is now, unsurprisingly, bad feeling within the family which so easily could have been avoided. Still, I suppose we must be grateful they didn't call her a paedophile (there's no suggestion she is, but that's how some people think).

Different leopard, same spots

The people who ran the Wikisposure paedo-hating site have been given the boot by Perverted Justice; reason unknown, but one can hazard a guess that their policy of invented accusations bordering on the libellous, along with their stalking of gay teens and outing them to their parents, or, worse, waiting until they reach 18 and then printing damaging material, all about people or organisations not convicted - or even charged - with any offence.

So now they've come up again with another catchy title but the same policies of gloating over convictions or character assassination if they can't find anything illegal, or even inappropriate.

Even someone admitting having feelings for children, however honorable, makes them fair game for attack.

It's interesting to note that they have been off-line for a while; one can't help wondering if there was a legal case in progress.

Fortunately such sites are so rabid and off-the-wall that only their own cronies actually take any notice of them.

A very brave young man

Probably many of us would say they would die for someone they loved. Rather fewer will have the opportunity and fewer still would actually do it.

For 13-year-old Jordan Rice of Toowoomba, Queensland, however, it was a bit differemt. When he and his family became trapped on the roof of their car in the recent floods and called the emergency servcies for help, Jordan instructed them to take his younger brother Blake first.

When they retrurned, Jordan, would could not swim, and his mother had been swept away.

I cannot begin to imagine the feelings Jordan must have had, knowing that in saving his brother's life he was likely to lose his own. Nor in fact the feelings of Blake, who will doubtless remember all his life that he owes that life, literally, to Jordan.

My prayers are with Blake and his family.

Long time no post ....

Hello everyone!

I can't believe it's a year and a half since my last post - I've been so busy the time just seems to fly past and nothing gets done!

Anyway, I'm glad to see you're all still looking in, though people searching for the worst case of child abuse are still depressingly common.

Still what with some recent events, I'll be posting some fairly up to date news and comment over the next few days.

Hope you're all managing in the inclement weather.

Welcome new readers

Hello everyone.

I see that quite a few people have been looking in lately, so welcome to you all.

A lot of you come from the page supposedly about me on Wikisposure - it's a pity a lot of that is wrong, but never mind. Welcome anyway. I hope you find your visit informative.

A bit more worrying is that so many people are using search engines to look for things like "worst case of child abuse". Of course, the worst child abuse is that perpetrated on children like Baby P, tortured to death by his mother and her friends. It is difficult to imagine anything worse than that, though some - surely mentally ill - people seem to have no difficulty not only imagining it, but doing it.

Perhaps, if you found these pages looking for "worst child abuse", you could write in and says what you were looking for? It would put my mind at rest, at least.

The worst case of child abuse

... I've seen in a long time. I was crying by the time I got to the end of this article - which took some doing.

I have one question. Why, oh why, oh why was no action taken before?

The good news is that the girl has been rescued and seems to be doing well. Thank God.
