    Thank you for your compassion and common sense. For a boy who has his sexuality scarred with a scalpel (by the NHS) only to then be treated as a criminal for his unchosen attractions, might suspect the Human Rights Act has failed him. David Cameron had "pae*do*philes" officially equated to "te*ror*rists", and the government have not yet retracted or reversed his persecutory legislation. Oh yeah, the same man who announced how "proud" he was that people can "practice their religious beliefs".

    Murder is the unjustified or unlawful killing of another person. If it's in Defense of Your Country; IT'S NOT Murder. If it's to Defend Your GOD GIVEN Rights That are Protected by The Constitution; IT'S NOT Murder. If it's in Defense of Yourself or Another Person; IT'S NOT Murder. Therefore a Murderer is someone who unjustified or unlawfully the Life of Another person.

    i grew up in an extremely abusive foster home surrounded by Pedophiles and predators and experienced CSA and other types of abuse all my life. in the past few years,i had an ex partner take advantage of me when i was feeling safe enough to try and help heal my trauma through voluntary age regression(i also have ASD and cptsd. so i'm naturally a bit more childlike espeially in my special interests,fashion etc and in my personality anyway and can age regress involuntarily too) anyway. He consistently made me uncomfortable by sending me explicit photos and he also got aroused while i was regressed. After that i stopped doing anything like that voluntarily because i felt uncomfortable and yuck. He explained it away and not long after that i found some horrible things he was hiding. The police cleared him of any wrong doing..SOMEHOW???? wtf. but he 'blamed me' for all of it and blamed me for what i had found,because he supposedly 'couldn't talk to me'. This dude knew what i had been through as a child and my biggest fears and i had processed so much trauma with this persons 'help' and now i'm even more traumatised and broken. i already had ocd before all that happened but now my ocd is SEVERE and my ocd likes to focus on pocd/harm ocd and i feel like i must be a horrible awful person. its terrifying. i'd never fucking hurt anyone ever and the thought of any of this makes me physically sick and its disgusting and im in no way attracted to any of it. but he blamed his fucked up shit,on me? i dont know how its my fault.. i feel like i can no longer be myself and have the same personality i did as i fear others will either take advantage of me again or think i'm a creep. I've tried to self delete from earth due to all of this because i was so so scared. It doesn't help when people have this sort of saying of 'most people who were abused will become abusers'. when i see people say that my ocd convinces me that i 'must be an abuser' although i have never ever done anything and will never do anything to hurt someone else. its really debilitating.

    • @a.altair5410
      @a.altair5410 หลายเดือนก่อน

      One thing it's important to keep in mind is that society is at a place of moral panic. Back then it was elaborate conspiracies of abuse against children. These days the moral panic a lot more simpler. If someone doesn't agree with you or lifestyle then that's more than enough fuel to conjure up some horrible things about a person. It doesn't make you a bad person and you shouldn't have to live in fear of being labeled.

    @mabithebard4222 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I've had on and off pedophilic obsessions in the years since my first experience with POCD(though I'm mostly past it these days because I've gotten past the mental stigma of pedophilia itself and can properly separate ppl with pedophilic disorder from predators, so the fear is lesser now), but actually my first and worst experience with POCD happened when I was only 12 years old, and lasted three hellish months until I very nearly killed myself and had to be admitted to a mental hospital for two weeks(and somehow was not diagnosed with ocd then and there). Ofc I knew I was a child myself but my fear was of either being attracted to children younger than myself or of growing up to be an adult attracted to children. I was lucky because when I tried to get myself to attempt suicide I hesitated and couldn't do it, and I chose to tell my mom about my plans. But I'm sure not everyone who has OCD was as lucky as me. People without OCD don't realize I that it's a disorder that can literally KILL.

    I've struggled with pocd since I was 9. I just want to know if I'm one of those monsters or not... I hate these thoughts. I hate them. I would rather be abused than be the abuser. I was fine for a while, but this anxiety became worse. I'm 15 now and I just seriously hate myself. I can't even look at a picture of a random kid because I'm afraid I'll feel aroused. I hate it...I hate it. I just want a permanent solution to this. I don't even know what my true feelings are anymore.

    It seems they fall into two major groups: formerly s-abused children who repeat the cycle who need to be able to be rescued & given treatment ; & adult-mostly male-who never had any of these feelings but are intentionally addicted via social media mainly, by the organized purveyors of s-child abuse. It follows the same brain changes as any other addiction and the incidence of this is increasing. Pushers & addicts. Trauma based behavior and addictive behavior requires treatment. The purveyors who take photos or videos of child abuse and who traffic children are the root cause of the increasing numbers of the second group. There needs to be a safe path toward treatment right when people have the thought before it turns into action so they do not turn into preditors. It is in everyone’s best interest. Jailing people does not cure them though society must be protected from the direct abusers of children. If we are not proactive as s society the numbers of these people will continue to grow because the causes are un-checked.
