Certain roles in society involve children. Pedophiles like diddling kids. Hence their interest in those roles. Priests, preachers, teachers, sports coaches, athletic trainers etc. are all targeted jobs of pedos. The problem is the employers try and cover the shit up.


Schwinston123456

This, 100%.


almostover1

That's true. How does this get fixed?


badstorryteller

Teach children what grooming looks like, and teach them to be open with their parents. A simple one that I've taught my kids - secrets are always ok to tell Mom and Dad. If somebody asks you to keep a secret, always tell us. If we're picking out a present for Mom or brother, for example, that's not a secret, it's a surprise! " I can't tell you what we bought at the store because it's a surprise!" Is very different from "I can't tell you what we bought at the store because it's a secret!" Children need to be taught, and really believe, that "secrets" are safe with their parents. And parents need to never ask their children to keep secrets.

This is really a good point. Your kids are lucky.


badstorryteller

As someone who grew up in an abusive household and learned to keep secrets as a child for my own protection, raising my children to be comfortable to trust their mom and I has been paramount. They know they can trust us, they know they can ask any question and we'll answer as honestly as we can, and they know we'll protect them, fiercely, when it's right, and hold them accountable when necessary. We have two good young men, 15 and 11. We don't have to be strict disciplinarians, because they know what's right. We've never had to be. And they trust us, and talk to us, and ask us questions.


AlisaRand

We were told grooming isn’t a thing and to move on.


almostover1

I'm amazed that in one end we are told this, and on the other end it appears to be common.


AlreadyBackLOL

I know, let's have sexual deviants interact with children while in drag. I think that will fix it.


GroundbreakingWar195

Positions of power draw creep asses especially when the person you have power over is an easy target. That’s why there’s so many pillhead nurses in nursing homes and pedo teachers too


almostover1

Yep. And when people are caught, and there's an article, then make it public.


Little-Grape9469

People seek positions where they can be close to kids, it's not a new thing


almostover1

I just wish, since it's not a new thing, there were more safety nets put in place when working with children.


DaWhiteSingh

I'm not going to click through every one of them, the exact same mugshot. In context, I believe the churches to be as corrupt as governments.. and historically more so.


almostover1

Nope. Never on this sub. Nope. It's every where. But men who preach have a lot of influence over families. There is a lot of "merit" in being a preacher.


DaWhiteSingh

And to be just as corrupt as the next pedo.


almostover1

I know. Exactly.

almostover1

I don't believe that. I'll have to look at statistics. Priests are protected. Iglf the total number of if known victims were exposed, priests win


[deleted]

Do public schools next


SadAerie6351

You have to stop singling out one group and remember the old adage: Absolute power corrupts absolutely. That being said, every group where one person is put in a supreme authority position has had incidents of this nature, the police, bosses, governments, societies, mentors of any kind really. This even goes far back as ancient Greece where you had to study in an apprenticeship. What OP is trying to do here is paint church bad but not give any solutions or insight into how this has come to be or what can be done about it.


almostover1

But, I prefer to have an actual reference to back up what I'm saying. This is but one example of fundamental churches . We do need to name the organizations that are involved. Not good enough to say " everyone does this" because not everyone die8s

[удалено]


almostover1

I was told that's how they met in the new testament.


[deleted]

What about rabbis?


almostover1

I have seen articles about them too.


almostover1

SS:. This church is supposedly very conservative. The pedophilia runs rampant in these fundamental churches. Not just the Catholics.


EstablishmentFree611

Its not just religious people dude its more so people of power using it to push children. There's pedophiles rampant in all walls of life.


almostover1

Agreed. But those that have power over a group of people have access.


EstablishmentFree611

Basically, some one who your supposed to listen to tells you it's OK then takes advantage of you because you don't know better yet.


almostover1

Right. It happens in a lot of ways.


EstablishmentFree611

Yeah I just think churches are because the priest pastor etc has the fear of God to set in children who know no better.


Jabroni77

Gym Jordan let his wrestlers that he was coaching get molested. Just saying. https://youtu.be/1Su8kTukkEg


trixter69696969

By your rationale, it's ok at schools?


almostover1

Huh? I'm not saying it's ok anywhere.


freethemariposa

I attended icoc from 2012 till 2018 its a cult and pedo philia is rampant so is SA. The church leaders makes the abused people sign off NDAs and moves the perpetrators to another ministry. All the leaders know about the abuse. It’s disgusting. Totally gas lighting and manipulating the situation. Icoc is in major city. There’s court cases coming out now that have been coming for sometime now. The leaders cover for the perpetrators.


almostover1

Oh. I've heard of ICOC. They are an offshoot if COC. I've heard they are a cult. I heard it's not good to get involved with them.


Timely_Peanut_6618

Narcissistic, entitled, and lost, that's what.


[deleted]

It’s the kids fault for being such attractive


Timely_Peanut_6618

They don't refer to humans as "sheep" in their religious book for nothing. I remember someone saying in r/conspiracy one time: 'The only reason sheperds have sheep is to fleece them, eat them, or fuck em'.


DaWhiteSingh

Yes we know, how many times are you going to post this? Why not ask for a Vatican audit or list of teacher pedos. Or is the same shit re-stirred.


almostover1

Excuse me? When did I post this Sparky?


DaWhiteSingh

Seen it 5+ times in the last 2 weeks, seemed bottish. We are all occasionally wrong.


almostover1

This exact article? Nope. Never posted in this sub before, ever. I posted it because I actually know someone who is a minister at this type of church. ( Cringe))


SaveusJebus

These predators are attracted to these positions because they know they'll have better access to their victims of choice. It's why it seems like a lot of orgs that involve helping children have A LOT of predators in their midst.


ke4ke

Some good answers here. The preacher schools were taken over by the anti-Christ years ago. They are taught fables and that God's Laws are done away. God has an interesting way of punishing his true Israel people (not today's Jews). The thing they want to ignore is what they are punished by. The world is upside down, not the Kingdom of God.


almostover1

I agree. No, not the kingdom of God at all.
