SLIMY * CREEPY * CHILD MOLESTERS - Page 2
Child molesters do not look different or really act different than anyone else. Child molesters typically prey on children they already know, not strangers. Most have had a prior relationship with the child. Three-fourths of sexually abused children are female. Approximately one-fourth of the child molesters were molested themselves in childhood. Most children are victimized in their own home or in the pedophile's domain.

Many child molesters seek out women with children. There are many single women looking for prospective mates and stepfathers. If the sexual predator can get close to Mom they will get close to the children. Some act like the "Big Brother" type providing male bonding where no father exists. He may even seem like the answer to your prayers. Please take a harder and closer look.

There is safety in numbers…or is there? The sexual predator may take a group of children but may be able to cunningly calculate how to get one child alone. He appears fun and trustworthy. He may have neat toys such as a boat, motorcycle, or a cool house that is very attractive to children. A child molester can be very charming.

A child molester has no identifying economic or social status. They are in almost every type of occupation. A major CEO of a huge corporation making a million dollars a year is just as likely a suspect as the school janitor. There have even been child sex offenders arrested and convicted in law enforcement.

Most child molesters prefer children just before puberty and prey on a child's sexual ignorance and curiosity. To quote one molester, "Give me a kid who knows nothing about sex, and you've given me my next victim. "

The Internet is a Seductive Source for the Pedophile
With all the information about the Internet circulating in the media because of the Columbine High School Tragedy in Colorado, parents have learned a great deal about the dangers of the internet for children. This portion of my article addresses itself to the more subtle and psychological dangers as it relates to child sex offenders.

The Internet can be the Pedophiles Playground.
Computers are interactive. Pedophiles are known to hang out in Chat Rooms on the Internet. They represent themselves as children and "groom" kids into thinking they are the same age and have a lot in common. They spend weeks and sometimes months getting to know the child before they make the move to meet. They are very clever at extracting personal information from kids. They become their "Secret Friend".

Some child molesters belong to pedophile organizations that are operating throughout the world. In their sick minds, they believe that sex with children is harmless; and some even claim sexual relations are healthy for children. Their goal is to decriminalize child molestation and lower the age of consent.
