Thankyou for sharing...I am in Scotland...a nightmare. A few (and ever more) Parents are talking behind doors..sharing...trying to get through this. One thing that has helped SOME kids is to show them the origins of all this..JOHN MONEY...One parent bit the bullet and sat them down...'ok..lets go right into all this''' so they did...John Money was enough to discourage the kid. I hope we can all start to find ways and start to share...truth should win

They should be ashamed, but shame has been ostracized as a legitimate emotion/feeling. Today if anything makes one feel ashamed it is treated as if the offending object or person that caused the shameful feeling is to be blamed. Where is shame today? Shame is important and has played a major role in my life, things I felt ashamed for I took a deep look at and usually realized I needed to change. Today, no one is learning from shame anymore. Instead we typically project our shameful feelings against the very thing that brought them and maybe gaslight them for good measure. Today a pedophile is not to feel shame for their behavior done to an innocent child. No, instead there are efforts to normalize the pedophiles feelings and behavior as just a minor attracted person. Our world is upside down today and we know it. Good is called evil, evil is called good, people celebrate evil like sheep led to destruction. Because we are taught we don't want to offend or hurt anyone's feelings or cause them to feel shameful. Well, shame is obviously a useful natural emotion and should be considered by those feeling it. We are at a place where Truth is offensive and causes shameful feelings. We must stand for Truth, we have let the lies run through us long enough, time to be adults. Why? Because we know better that's why. Stand for Truth!
