Parents beware! Pedophiles are in every advocate/career/job/field/coaching/mentoring role allowing them full access to infants, children, teens and young adults.

Man I hate saying this, but there's like a 80% chance you'll find a sex offender in your own family or a family friend before those other guys you just mentioned even show up

All those studies been out for years now, it's basically a family member or close friend of the family that commits that disturbing shit, hiding in plain sight

It is that fact how families are so close and connected with religious establishments, that makes it even crazier when they find out the priest, a friend of the community has already probably damaged the children of that same community in so many terrible ways

Crime victim advocate and guardian ad litem here of 15 years. You are correct majority of sex offenders in same family as the victim or a “good friend” or “close friend” of the family. Pedophiles proudly hide in plain sight.

Courts requiring pedophiles to be on the sex offender registry is key to disallowing them access to children, live near schools or work in professions allowing access to children.

I don’t have the words to express the encouragement/permission and support religious leaders give to those in their orbit sexually abusing children. Deny/deflect/distract/remain silent on the matter. No accountability of any kind and they certainly don’t report to law enforcement.
