>>625354Each time a pedophile is outed (or even an accusation), the media goes hell bent on saying pedophiles are everywhere, yet there are incredibly low percentage.
I don't think actual studies have been done on pedophiles themselves - so these questions cant really be answered yet. The only reliable statistics we have is the crime statistics (media is heavily biased - so we don't know whos telling the truth or not).
There are pedophiles out there who don't act on their desires, but since the simple mention of it (even on online forums) can instantly send people into suspicious mode, they are not exactly going to help society out with understanding why people are/become pedophiles.
The only information I know of is that pedophiles usually were abused themselves when they were growing up, and also that people kids trust are more likely to abuse than strangers (the media gets this dead wrong). There are pedophiles which want to cure themselves, but they are afraid of going to psychatrists or any medical profession since they will be reported to the police. So just saying go and get help is impossible, since there is no avenue for them to get help. If you want to ruin a persons life just call them a pedo, and basically they have no life left (like thje results of a false rape case, but worse)
Until people stop being hypersensitive about it, we won't really solve the problem - Children will continue to suffer because of the medias lies and the peoples ignorance.
