A group of psychiatrists and other mental health professionals say it's time to change the way society views individuals who have physical attractions to children.
The organization, which calls itself B4U-Act, is lobbying for changes to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM, the guideline of standards on mental health that's put together by the American Psychiatric Association.
The group says its mission is to help pedophiles before they create a crisis, and to do so by offering a less critical view of the disorder.
"Stigmatizing and stereotyping minor-attracted people inflames the fears of minor-attracted people, mental health professionals and the public, without contributing to an understanding of minor-attracted people or the issue of child sexual abuse," reads the organization's website.
B4U-Act said that 38 individuals attended a symposium in Baltimore last week, including researchers from Harvard University, Johns Hopkins University and the universities of Illinois and Louisville. According to the group, which said to not endorse every point of view expressed, the speakers in attendance concluded that "minor-attracted" individuals are largely misunderstood and should not be criminalized even as their actions should be discouraged.
I agree that pedophiles are sick. Which is why they should be put down just like a rabid dog.
ReplyDeleteHere go the libs again trying to turn the table. "They aren't pedophiles they are victoms of society,they are minor attracted. As for me they can go blow that sunshine up someone elses a$$. I agree with 3:48 they(the pedophiles) have a place and it's not in a world where they can prey on the innocent.
ReplyDeleteSo now, in this world of political correctness, we are calling the sick perversion of pedophilia, "MINOR-ATTRACTED PEOPLE". Now I've heard it all!!
ReplyDeleteFirst we have the queer marriage people, now the man boy love people, what's next, the marry a german shepheard people?
ReplyDeleteIts time to hold these Dr.s down and give them the broom in leui of all of the rapists who think this is a normal turn on.
ReplyDelete4:24, don't you mean "alternative marriage" people, "male child-attracted" males, and "canine-connubial" people? You've got to be more politically correct
ReplyDeleteCalling pedophiles "Minor Attracted People" is the same as calling terrorist attacks "Man Made Disasters." If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck.
ReplyDeletei guess unstigmatizing and unstereotyping relationships with chickns are next.
ReplyDeleteThis is part of the effort by Globalists to destroy our Society and merge us into a world government. Any thing goes. Completely destroy norms of behavior - some of which have existed for centuries. It has been disgusting to regular human beings for centuries when one adult engages in sexual activity with a child.
ReplyDeleteWe are repulsed because it flies in the face of common decency.
We need to get the names off these people!
ReplyDeletemakes one harken for the psychiatric days of yore
ReplyDeleteInstead of prisons filled with violent offenders we just had quite institutions with rocking drooling lobotomized patients
we could be done debating and medicating autism and ADHD and impulsive drug alcohol and sex addicts and just the useless addle minded that score low on SATs and contribute little to society except more broken offspring
or perhaps one day we will be able to diagnose all these abnormalities prenatally and terminate accordingly
Only academics that have no common sense would come to such a conclusion.
ReplyDeletePeople like 9:40 try to justify all perverse behavior.
ReplyDelete9:40 PM
ReplyDeleteYou are scary.
And not in a good way.
WTF? Are they nuts?
ReplyDeleteWe have a pedophil in our family. We don't want him to come near our children or your children when he gets out of jail.
