They Make The Children Suffer

This morning, my aunt and I were discussing pedophiles. I had just come home from a doctor's appointment and was gushing about the cute little babies I had seen in the waiting room as I waited to see my doctor. (There is a pediatrician among the list of doctors in the building whose patients share the same waiting room). Thinking about the fragility and beauty of each baby I had seen I asked my aunt angrily, "how can someone look at such a small and innocent babies and do unspeakable acts to them?"

"It can't be for sex. What pleasure can a little one give?" she declared hotly.

"Its not sex that those kind of people feel, it's all a matter of control!" I replied.

Pedophiles feel a sense of power and control when they prey on young, innocent victims. They are usually men (there are women that do this too!) that are insecure around women for some reason, and their only recourse is to, as we say here, "interfere with children."

I remember that when I was a teen there was a man in that always used to come and hug me after church. But this "hug" was neither Christian or fatherly; it made me feel very uncomfortable. I tried many times to leave before he could see me, but I was not always successful. Sometimes he used to corner me before I could leave and give me his "greeting!" When I couldn't take it anymore, I told my aunt and it immediately stopped! Now as I sit here and write about, I wonder if there were any other child he was doing this too, and if so, how many?

This shows that a child should be able to tell an adult ( a relative or teacher or trusted adult) about that kind of incident and be believed and protected. If my aunt had not believed me and done soemthing about it, what would have become of me then? I shudder to think what would have happened Praise God for His mercy!"

I will continue to deal with this topic in subsequent blog posts. If you have any questions, or have any experiences of this nature, please feel free to send them. God bless you.
