By Dr. Paul Abramson and L.J. Williamson:
In 2008, a 35-year-old LAUSD teacher got one of his fifth-grade students alone in the classroom at lunchtime, and convinced the 10-year-old boy to masturbate him to orgasm. The teacher continued to molest the boy when other students left the room, including performing oral sex on him, into the following year. The abuse finally ended during the summer, when the father sought to include the teacher in more family activities, at which point the horrified kid blurted out the truth.
For a pedophile, the first order of business is to gain access to children. We’re not talking about trolling the playgrounds with a sack of candy. That’s for amateurs, and the committed pedophile is far more sophisticated. He’s in it for the long haul. So he gets a teaching credential, or becomes a member of the clergy, or maybe even a pediatrician. He creates a foundation for wayward boys. He becomes a foster parent. He finds a single mom and starts dating her, working his way toward becoming a stepdad. In short, he manages to put himself in a position of trust so that he will have access to kids on a regular basis.
Once this first hurdle is cleared, the most important step in the pedophile’s game is to hoodwink a kid into becoming his best bud. A pedophile can sexually molest a kid in minutes, but what generally stops him from doing so is the fear that the kid will tell someone. Child molesters have to “groom” kids instead — establish trust, facilitate bonding, become their friend. Snitching is kryptonite to child molesters, and the gruesome truth of pedophilia is that, because it’s much harder to rat on your pal, the emotional bonds of friendship are the ultimate protection.
LAUSD’s recent move to abolish things like blindfolds and tastings in classrooms, in light of the recent scandal at Miramonte Elementary involving a teacher who allegedly fed spoonfuls of his semen to blindfolded pupils, will do nothing to prevent child molestation. In fact, it’s a perfect example of the anemic “death by a thousand cuts” strategy designed to inconvenience child molesters. If the threat of sex-offender registries, residence restrictions, jail and a lifetime of ostracism and shame don’t prevent the sexual molestation of children, then these puny and off-target “reforms” won’t, either. And forcing known child molesters to live 10 miles away from the nearest school, park or day care center does nothing to stop the ones we don’t know about, who successfully operate under the radar as friendly teachers, Scout leaders or Little League coaches.
In fact, the entire “Stranger Danger” mythology actually works for pedophiles, because it keeps us looking elsewhere for the threat, and away from the guys who have moved into your circle of trust.
No, not every male who works in a profession having regular contact with children is a pedophile. But every one of those professions has pedophiles — 99 percent of them male — within it.
