Re: Interesting article

Myth - Strangers are lurking at school bus stops or around playgrounds looking for children to molest.

Fact - The politicians, and some in the media, want you to believe in the stranger danger myth. The fact is that, according to the U.S. Dept. of Justice, American Psychological Association, the Association for the Treatment of Sexual Abusers, and other experts; children are abused by a family member or someone trusted by the family in around 90 percent of all the cases.

This "fact" only fuels the witch hunt, it doesn't help deter it in anyway. It'll make any adult who enjoys the company of children and is respected by the family a suspected pedophile. Good going, myth buster. The core of the argument should be on the fact that not all "abuse" is really abuse.

Myth - Depraved adults commit all sex crimes.

Fact - The Department of Justice own statistics show that about 40% of sex crimes committed against someone under 18 are by a juvenile; most are consensual sex by teenagers, others are older children acting out against a younger relative or friend.

Okay, so what? Is it anymore "depraved" if an adult has consensual sexual encounters with a minor?

Myth - Men who molest boys are homosexuals or bisexual.

Fact - According to the October 5, 2006 issue of Pediatrics, the Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics, 98% of molested males and 99.6% of molested girls are victims of heterosexuals.

Okay sorry but I'm calling bullshit on this one. This "fact" is really a myth created by pro-gay supports to try and distance pedophilia from homosexuality. If you are having sex with a boy, you are not completely heterosexual. Common sense will tell you this.

This is a pretty crappy, low end article. IPCE has published way better articles then this one.
