It's on the same order of men liking men or women liking women. It's all a personality disorder. And if you find out what you want to know - what is disowning them going to do for it? They need treatment and to stay away from parks, schools, or playgrounds. The latest one we had in this category lived right across the side street where he was a substitute gym teacher. He would take the kids to his apartment (mostly boys) after school and end up by spanking them. This went on for several years until one child spilled the beans to another kids' parents.

@MaryJanine pedophilia is NOT in the same category as homosexuality. I'm a sexual abuse survivor, I know how pedophiles play the system

@MaryJanine i do think that both are disorders. It's a mental and spiritual issue. I am also a sexual abuse survivor.

@Herzigoner More power to you. But that is not my definition - I took the report out of the local daily paper and that was the words and definition they used.

I would disown a relative if I found out they had victimized a child, either through consumption of child pornography or actual molestation. I would not disown a relative if he/she realized they had this attraction to children and therefore sought psychological help, and didn't hurt anyone.

I have absolutely nothing to corroborate this theory. But my opinion is that there may be several types of paedophile.
And for one type of paedophile in particular some of it appears to be centred on self-loathing greed and envy.
They despise themselves - for reasons that may or may not have anything to do with paedophilia. And when they see the innocence of a child they become envious and want to possess that innocence themselves, in the belief that the child's innocence would somehow make them a better person.
It doesn't of course. But I think that's the way some of them think. It's the only explanation I know of that ties in with their often stated claim to admire/love the innocence of children.

I keep my children away from as much as my family as possible as much as possible because there is sexual abuse. I know who in the previous generation but I don't know who is perpetrators in my generation and I don't want to risk my children finding out.
It's sad that my children do not have alot of cousins they see like I did but I live with the effects of sexual abuse so I see not having family around alot as a price worth paying to avoid the devastating effects child abuse has on your life.

I suppose it would depend on exactly what they did. For example, a 20-year-old with a 16-year-old is not the same as a 20-year-old and a 10-year-old.

No, family is family. They need to do their time and rehab. The system needs to play out and we all play our roles.

@SW-User THANK YOU

No, if they’re a criminal yes

@ShaythePanTransMan you can refer to Webster's but that is not what people think
ShaythePanTransMan · 22-25, T
@Maximusmax It doesn't matter what people think. That's the definition.
Maximusmax · M
@ShaythePanTransMan it does when you are asking them the question

No, I'd just disown their pedophilia. He/she would have to get treatment and stay away from children.
