General Could you remain friends with a pedophile/child porn lover?

[Ted Williams' head]

Some guy I only knew very casually got busted a couple years back for child pornography possession as well as "sexual interference" among other things. Scariest thing is that he was working as a substitute teacher/teacher's aide. I didn't know him that well so it's no problem for me to hate him, but some of my friends were pretty close to him and revered him as a great dude and were non the less very shocked. Pretty much all of them completely cut ties with the guy immediately (he's going to jail for a while anyway)

So lets say a great friend of yours got busted with child pornography, or actually touching a child, what do you do? Just picture your very best friend you have right now getting caught. Could you still be friends with that guy? Or would you cut all ties immediately? I'd have to cut the ties pretty quick.

dead to me
My kindergarten teacher was a pedo and fucked up some kids lives.
That is only one of the stories I have about those sick fucks.

Take em out back and shoot em or give em the full chop

If it went over your head then idk what to tell you...

Nah.
I have all kinds of former friends who have developed lifestyles or other self-destructive habits that have me making distance. Drug addicts, criminals, etc.

You can be a good person in other ways, we like all the superficial stuff the same, etc. But at the end of the day, you are watching kids getting banged? or wanting to bang kids? (skipping the actual offenders are committing personal terrible acts against kids). Your brain is broken and I would never voluntarily invite that into my life.

 

[mysticmac]

Nope.

If I found out before they got arrested, I find out as much as I could about where the cops can find the evidence and turn that POS in.

 

[Masato Toys]

Good replies. I would end it 100%, might even take them out back for a light beat down

Don't let the coming propaganda try to tell you its their 'sexual preference' and they have rights, I am seeing a wave of this rhetoric coming, I think MSM will try to start defending it before the truth of pedogate stuff finally comes out. Sexual orientation may not be something we choose, but that does not make pedo tendencies acceptable, same with people who have violent fantasies and want to cut folks up etc. It is sick and scary and harmful and fuck you get away from my kids

 

[Wild]

Nope

 

[Masato Toys]

This is how it starts... some posters seen recently in Toronto:

If you follow that train of thought, you must embrace the pedo community. Right?

Its 'evolution'!

 

[Masato Toys]

There was a 'SALON' article some time ago written by an OPEN PEDOPHILE talking about acceptance and rights and sexual orientation etc

You watch. This is where things are going if we are not vigilant

Was unsure what you meant at first until you clarified.

Strictly, being a pedophile in and of itself is not reason to ostracise someone. By that, I mean someone who is attracted to children. Attraction is not a choice, so they can't help it. They should have support.

However, acting on it is disgusting and deserves severe punishment. If I knew a person downloaded kiddie porn, they're scum to me.

I'm attracted to hot women but I don't rape them.

 

[Team Bisping]

If it were my best friend, i'd be disgusted and pissed off. As i don't have any children myself right now i'd probably feel like i'd want to see he gets a fair trial etc, as i'd be more supportive to his family than him, as i couldn't imagine what his mother and brothers etc would be going through. I'd be there for them. But the friendship would be over.

If i had children, instant cut of ties. no question.

They should.
From a psychiatrist.

I still would remove myself from a relationship with them.

But you can satisfy your lust for women legally and morally, so how can I be sure that a pedophile has not acted in some way on his urges? I'd feel very strange having them around... especially if I had kids!

 

[Limpy]

One of the worst things a person can do. I'd have a hard time not killing the person which isn't the way to solve it but...

 

[Ted Williams' head]

I really thought I'd find a couple of people who would still be friends with them lol. Nope. Warms my heart!

Being attracted to women does NOT make you a danger for rape. But say if you had a fetish for rape-scenarios, ie; needed to express your sexuality through violence, then we would have a problem. Then you become a danger to society.

No one can restrain completely from acting on their sexuality imo, likely not even monks/priests etc. Some people may have really ultra-low sex drives but then they are no harm. But other functioning humans eventually will succumb to this string side of us. So someone with pedo orientation is by nature a walking threat. Even if they just watch porn and never touch a real kid, those videos are hurting kids, they are part of the problem. A very big and nasty problem.

I admire your sympathy, and yes it would be more benevolent to 'help' these people than to just straight punish them, but I don't think its OK to underestimate the danger/effects of allowing such people to exist freely in a society that values our kids. Its a scary situation, especially when the pedos decide to lobby up and come out demanding equal rights

I’m the only one who voted to check in on a pedophile.

Does that make me one too?

Depends on how good of a friend I was with the person, I’d feel bad for the pedophile’s family if he off’d themselves or something I guess.

That and only if the pedophile was a hot female teacher.

No it doesn't make you a pedophile too LOL. And no one should blame you for having compassion.

But it's not for me.

 

[BrunoMcGyver]

No.
I had this little dilemma a lil while ago actually..

Heard on the grapevine about 2 years ago that someone a used to hang out with a lot and I till considered a friend was in jail- 2 years, which would be reduced to 1 year with good behaviour..Was a bit of a surprise as he didnt seem like the guy to get in trouble with the law (had a PhD, not a douchebag, pretty friendly happy guy etc).

The thing was apparently he wouldn't tell anyone why he was in jail, not even close friends of his. Got the suspicion bells ringing in head straight away. I know if I was in jail for any charge besides sexual assault, kiddie stuff, rape, I would tell ppl just so they know Im not in there for those crimes -> him not telling anyone automatically makes me assume he did some sexual shit.

He'd be out by now, but I no longer live in the areas where we randomly see each other, but if I saw him I'd say "hi, long time no see" and try to get info out of him. If my suspicions are still there I wouldn't make any further effort.

 

[BeardOfKnowledge]

"Cut ties immediately" is a little much. They need to stick around long enough for me to hand them over to the cops.

 

[Masato Toys]

I know a guy who got molested by a catholic priest when he was a small child.

Now he's a catholic priest.

Haven't seen him for like 30 years but he's still a friend of my parents. I am super suspicious of him but have no reason to suggest he's doing anything wrong. If I meet him again, just I just come out and ask?
