I've worked in the field of child sex abuse investigation and my colleagues included police, DAs, public health doctors and nurses, forensic psychologists, etc. We had psychologists who counseled pedophiles, too, and I learned from them that pedophiles do not change. Counseling pedos focuses on helping them to
- monitor their own thoughts constantly - staying away from dangerous thoughts
- monitor their activities - to never be where children are EVER
- understand that what they do actually hurts children terribly - (yes, some of them don't know that)
I used to observe one of our clients walking, walking, walking all over town, never without his headphones - drowning out his own thoughts constantly.
A pedo should not be sitting in a KH where they are near children. Their minds will latch onto the visual and other sensory stimuli and simmer. Not good for them or potential victims. But the arrogance of the WTS does not allow them to become knowledgeable about child sex abuse, so that they can understand why pedophiles can be repentant, but not able to change. And they have very poor internal impulse control. Therefore, the elders must provide the external safeguards by warning parents and children. Simple, really.
