You know how such stuff as lying and cheating and stealing something is considered as really bad stuff to us. like if we know someone who does or has done it, it automatically changes our view of the person(to most of us anyway). and then this thought goes through our heads "what the hell is wrong with him/her? how could he/she even think of doing that?". thats a bad person for you right there. one you'd take caution from that point on.
I went to see a doc the other day and while waiting, i opened up this magazine. There was a topic which read "the beast of Germany"(dont quite remember the country name). so i skipped to that page and read an interview of a 20yr old girl who had testified against an individual. it was her story of the worst time of her life.
She had testified against someone who was an unemployed father(of someone else ofcourse). this guy had kidnapped her off the streets when she was 12years old(yep, this report was made a couple of years after the incident). she was kept in a small dark basement with a chain around her neck. the guy would occasionally bring her out of there to his bedroom only to rape and torture her. he made her believe that he had kidnapped her for a ransom but her parents didnt want her back. he even allowed her to write to her mom, only to not send those letters and then come tell her that her mom never replies. apparently this man had done the same with THREE other girls and when he was done with them, he killed them all. he was involved with selling off small kids as well as making torture movies etc with kids in em.
This got me thinking(never a good thing). we live in a world where we know all of this happens and even worse. yet we dont think much of it. maybe cos it hasnt happened to someone close. but then again it has happened to a few of us. what is it that drives a person to go to this extent? i mean here we are complaining about lies and cheating and small time stealing while stuff similar to these are happening around us even in male'. its somewhat understandable what drives a person to steal and such. but child abusing? what does the person hope to achieve from that? especially in this age of prostitution and such.
An uncle of mine was one day talking with an inmate who had just been released from prison. they were talking about those child abusers that were put away in prisons. how all the other prisoners always give them a hard time(they deserve it if you ask me). and seems this guy went and spoke with one of them asking him the same question i asked previously. "Why do you do it? what drives you to it? is it because your wife doesnt have sex with you? or is it because you dont enjoy it that much?". and the guy replies saying it wasnt such a reason. that his sex life with his wife or so is awesome. and that he honestly had no idea as to WHY he did what he did. that he couldnt even explain it himself. seems he's even asked himself that question several times but he just couldnt figure it out. so what is it that drives these people to do it? and i wont be surprised if one day people would start calling that too a disease or a part of those people like they now do with homosexuals and so n so.

helooo,
interesting article you got here. It makes me think also. Maybe it's some perverted fantasy gone overboard.
And oh i haven't updated my blog coz it's ramadan and it makes me laazyy. hehehe but hopefully soon :)
heheh. well, atleast ur agreeing that it makes u lazy. im still lookin forward to that post ;)
Yes in the grand scheme of things dont we seem petty.. you'v written this post in such a subdued manner I cant even respond in the usual manner I do to child molesters.. but I think they are one of the worst scums this earth has ever seen.. and an explanation wont make a difference to me..
i think your last para actually sums up what its gonna be in future.
in a near future they would start claiming their "rights". there is a court case right now in male'.
@shanu:hehe. well, i really had to try to make it seem subdued. hehe. and i totally agree with what u said abt them
@mode:really? so its a court case for homosexuals?
Actually, in the DSM it IS already described as a disease. And people are already startin to claim their rights. And most western countries are starting to put them in treatment programmes instead of jail. And I know a friend of mine is doing her PhD thesis on the rights of pedophiles, and rarara (which I can't listen to coz I absolutely hate it!)
But this is the world we live in
well a person who does these hedious acts are obviously not normal. So its not that we are going to label them with 'disease' its more like they already ARE sick....
but then again, that is no excuse for them committing these acts either.
@athena: really? O.O so lety me get this straight. now ppl are going around abusing small children and when they get caught they start claiming this right? thats just sick. theye actually approved this? :s
@raaji: u knw, there was a time when even homosexuals were treated like trash but look at what time has changed. and like athena said, its already started with child abusing as well. sigh
@dhondhooni: yea, but i guess with women it stays more quiet. a friend once described his experience where his tuition teacher who was 24 back then i believe, this guy was in grade 8 majeedhiyya. and she came onto him. but as u can figure, the guy had no complains whatsoever. hehe. *whistle*
yea, i thought id talk abt that abusing own children n such in another post. didnt want to make this one that long

@anon: very interesting. yea, some of these ppl were once victims themselves. its the same in alot of the cases and not jes for child abusing. some external factor will always contribute to how a person turns out. but i dont beleiev that justifies his actions. do u?
Kaiza;
You, are like most people have a difficult time tryin to grasp this concept.. Cant say im not a little surprised at tht but still..
Funny thing with Pedophilia and CSOs is that its a paradox we fall into with our sense of justice, the judiciary system, the individual Human Rights and the 'pathology of Pedophilia'..
What you cant deny is that under the current world society, EVERYONE has the HRC to defend his basic human rights and therefore is entitled to every piece of unbiased justice available..
Pedophiles are also human, mind you..
Do unto others what they do unto you, is not the case always.. And like your final statement there.. Very few individuals are willing to accept or even comprehend that there could be anything that justifies such actions..
I believe your post, although meek and somewhat watered down than other posts by other bloggers on this topic, has been biased by your encounters with victims of pedophilia and their stories.. As are most people, i guess..
Interesting whatsoever..
