  I just so happened to catch the Dr. Phil show yesterday and surprisingly his entire show focused on pedophiles & pedophilia.

  A three time convicted pedophile voluteered to be interviewed with the express purpose of parents identifying pedophiles.

  To make a long story short, it can be 'anyone'. Peodphiles are subtle and they make out to be helpful people, especially for the children. They work on gaining the trust of their victims. They're helpful and concerned approach to children are indicators for parents to be alert. Surprisingly, concerned parents are taken in by the cunning tactics of the pedophile.

  Those who never experienced such a sordid practice impose upon them cannot begin to understand the life long HELL a victim must live with, if, they don't committ suicide in the meantime.

  Hopefully this program will be aired again. My wife was reluctant to watch at first because one of our sons who is now 38 was a victim, and to this day has not revealed who the pedophile is. I suspect a close acquaintance or relative because my wife and I were on vacation at the time.

  Blondie, it would be a good tape to have on hand and review. The show was informative, the part that I noticed the most is when Dr. Phil tapped the girl's knee a few times at the end of the show. It sent chills down my spine. Victim's do not want to be touched by others, Dr. or no Dr. I realize that what he did was to comfort her but hands off victims!

  I am a victim of pedophlia. I was 12 at the time. It happened in a dark lounge room in my step grandfathers house.

  I never spoke to my step mothers side of the family from that day forward because none of them supported my sister and I ( as he did it to me and then straight after to my sister).

  these people need to be hung up by their balls (pardon the french) and slowly left to die. People say I should forgive him but I never will.

  I have moved on and can talk about it openly but I will never forgive him or his wife (because she left us alone with him when he was drunk knowing what he would do)

  Just my little input.

  Actually, it's rather sad. These individuals probably never really learned how to show love in the proper way, and no doubt were sexually abused when they were young. Incest is usually found in the family history, along with behavioral problems.

  They seek out little children, because children are so innocent. They will love and trust just about anyone who shows them some attention and kindness. These poor individuals are seeking love, but they are not equiped to have a good one on one relationship with an adult. If not checked, their behavior can elevate to other levels of abuse, even rape and murder.

  I believe a person knows when they are behaving inappropriately. They need to accept responsibility for their actions and be held accountable. Hopefully, they will seek help, before they inflict their emotional problems onto a young person, who is not equiped to handle it. No doubt we have all had some type of experience with it in our lives, or know of a family that does.
