In my opinion a paedophile will always be a paedophile. Many people know a paedophile, and many people support one. I say that because given the stats around the hidden in plain sight message, it is most likely that we all know one. Over the years I’ve learnt of two known to my family 😞 all I can think of is the victims of those cases.
Those of showing support for a paedophile suggests to me that you are complicit with child abuse and when paedophile sentenced, there should be careful consideration to those complicit and justice should be served. I heard about a woman whose husband was arrested one night in their family home. She stood by him & allowed him back post prison. She had two small boys 🤦🏽♀️ I don’t know of any intervention and support she had but A) he should never be around children again and B) the wife clearly needs help, and C) I’m certain his children will also need buckets of therapy when they learn of what their father did.
I recently read a mother’s blog about her paedophile son - or should I say, a sob story about him, and about her and how she/ him is struggling to cope - not one mention in the blog about the child who had been violated by their son or of any of the considerations around what that victim now faced with the life they’ve been left with, because of their paedophile son.
This same blog said her son always knew right from wrong 😮 making what he and the family did even more horrific and mind-boggling in my head. I mean, I know what’s right from wrong and I am a campaigner against paedophiles/ CSA.
If I ever found out that a family or friend (or anyone I knew) had hurt a child in this way, then it would not be a complicated decision for me to know what to do next with our relationship >>> and my blog would certainly start with a headline about the child and would be reinforcing the hidden in plain sight message and the 90-10 stat.
There are many things that society can do. Yes, I do understand it is important to gather research and garner knowledge on a paedophile that could potentially totally give more information that can help protect children and prevent further CSA, but one thing I do not understand is why people are wrapping a paedophile in cotton wool and asking for forgiveness? Prison does not stop a paedophile offending.
I know of two paedophiles in my hometown, both have been to prison. But now they are out they have anonymity and protection - but the children don’t. I saw one close to the park and called the police. But I should not have to. Society should be educated enough to know a paedophile is always a paedophile and the families of paedophiles should put other children in their community ahead of their paedophile son. I say that because they’ve already seen their paedophile son has form - nothing else will change - they will be more sinister in not being found out next time. The child doesn’t have that option to hide.
If in doubt, check paedophile hard drives - simple - and then accept the paedophile you know will always be a paedophile.
End.

@jowhiley 2/2 One day there was an avert in the local paper asking if anyone had lost a cat. The description fitted our cat Hoddle so we went to see and there he was. He came straight over to us as well even after all that time!
@jowhiley One of our cats went missing for 18 months. We moved house a few months after he disappeared, we asked the new owner to keep an eye out for him. My dad however never gave up looking and would often say he’d thought he’d seen him. 1/2
