Disturbing Paedophile Case & Conflation of Same Gender Sex with Abuse

Another unfortunate and awful story involving a young boy and a thirty year old man has prompted some to suggest that LGBT rights must not be granted to the lobby as this as happened unfortunately to this youngster is what will result. Moral panic as usual clouds sensible judgement and discussions and then so called Christians unethically use these cases to bolster their anti gay positions.

Firstly here is the Star News version of the story:

Held in cave for several hours
A seven-year-old boy was allegedly abducted and brutally sodomised yesterday in the Evan Street area of May Pen, Clarendon, reportedly by a 30-year-old man from the community.

The alleged attacker was later held and severely beaten by members of the community.

The child's mother told THE WEEKEND STAR that the youngster went to a nearby gully to catch fish, when he was tied up, taken to a cave some three miles away and sodomised for hours.

She said after noticing her son was gone for an unusually long period, she went outside and saw a crowd of people coming towards her house with the boy crying uncontrollably. He reportedly gave vivid details and was immediately taken to the May Pen Police Station, then the May Pen Hospital, where he was treated by doctors.

"Parents keep your eyes on your children, don't let them out of your sight for a minute ... it's not only girls it a happen to, them a rape off the young boys them too," she said in an impassioned plea.

Was shocked

An uncle of the traumatised boy, who is a grade-one student at a primary school in the parish, said he was shocked when he saw the crowd coming towards him with his nephew crying.
He said upon being questioned, the child described his assailant. An angry crowd went searching for the suspect, who was then seen with one of his brothers. Both men were beaten mercilessly.

"After the people them go up a him house, him and his brother start run, but the people run them down and beat them badly before the police come rescue them and carry them go hospital," the uncle explained.

Police confirmed that they have received a report of the incident and that the two men have been admitted to hospital as they continue their investigations.

ENDS

Sadly the worrying trend it seems of children being sexually abused or killed as a recent beheading story of a 14 year old girl shows is indeed worrying but to deliberately attached that to the decriminalization or repeal of buggery as justification to block/deny such moves is downright deceptive as was hinted to in a radio discussion this morning on one of the religious radio stations.

It is well established both in layman's terms as well as the DSM, diagnostic statistical manual and WIKIPEDIA that paedophilia is a sexual attraction of adults to children that is diagnosable and treatable but homosexuality is not a disorder and or 'treatable'

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pedophilia Classification and external resources
ICD-10 F65.4
ICD-9 302.2
MeSH D010378

Pedophilia or paedophilia is a psychiatric disorder in which an adult or older adolescent experiences a primary or exclusive sexual attraction to prepubescent children, generally age 11 years or younger.[1][2] As a medical diagnosis, specific criteria for the disorder extend the cut-off point for prepubescence to age 13.[1] A person who is diagnosed with pedophilia must be at least 16 years of age, but adolescents must be at least five years older than the prepubescent child for the attraction to be diagnosed as pedophilia.[1][2]

Pedophilia is termed pedophilic disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), and the manual defines it as a paraphilia in which adults or adolescents 16 years of age or older have intense and recurrent sexual urges towards and fantasies about prepubescent children that they have either acted on or which cause them distress or interpersonal difficulty.[1] 

The International Classification of Diseases(ICD-10) defines it as a sexual preference for children of prepubertal or early pubertal age.[3]

In popular usage, the word pedophilia is often applied to any sexual interest in children or the act of child sexual abuse.[4][5] This use conflates the sexual attraction (pedophilia) with the act of abuse (child molestation), and does not distinguish between attraction to prepubescent and pubescent or post-pubescent minors.[6][7] Researchers recommend that these imprecise uses be avoided because although people who commit child sexual abuse sometimes exhibit the disorder,[5][8] many child sexual abuse offenders are not pedophiles,[6][9][10] and not all pedophiles molest children.[4][5][11][12]

Pedophilia was first formally recognized and named in the late 19th century. A significant amount of research in the area has taken place since the 1980s. Although mostly documented in men, there are also women who exhibit the disorder,[13][14] and researchers assume available estimates underrepresent the true number of female pedophiles.[15]No cure for pedophilia has been developed, but there are therapies that can reduce the incidence of a person committing child sexual abuse.[5][16] In the United States, following Kansas v. Hendricks, sex offenders who are diagnosed with certain mental disorders, particularly pedophilia, can be subject to indefinite civil commitment.[17] The exact causes of pedophilia have not been conclusively established.[18] Some studies of pedophilia in child sex offenders have correlated it with various neurological abnormalities and psychological pathologies.

Coincidentally this story appeared on LGBTweekly on March 3 - HRC calls on 'Psychology Today' to reject ads from practitioners of LGBT 'Conversion Therapy'

Think on these things

Peace and tolerance
