I’ve interviewed Dr. James Cantor, an internationally recognised sex researcher, neuroscientist and psychologist. He discussed his findings with paedophilia (when someone’s arousal comes from children) and how we stand the best chance, as a society, of ensuring the crime never happens in the first place.
And before anyone says ‘just kill em’, I’m not talking about our options AFTER the crime’s been committed, I’m talking about BEFORE. Can we reach that person when they’re a teenager, or even as soon as they start thinking about hurting a child for the first time.
And if you’re still saying ‘just kill em’, what are you actually suggesting here? That we go round holding a gun to everyone’s head asking if they think about children?
The man that had my 8-year old penis in his mouth did this for the first time to somebody. Where was everyone before he got to that person? All shouting ‘kill em’ - that did absolutely NOTHING to help me, or any of his other victims.
Take a listen to this podcast episode. You don’t have to agree with it. But as long as we can explore all avenues we can at least start moving towards protecting the children of today.
