46. t's a mental disorder, just like schizophrenia or bipolarism, but unlike
people with those disorders pedophiles often fear getting help."

Most places require that a person commit a sex crime before they are treated, if they try to seek treatment before commiting the offense they are usually treated for ocd, which is pretty accurate at that point but does not address the spacific concerns of the individual.

Psychology is failing to do anything to stop this problem, I remember hearing about a program at John Hopkins that reported outstanding success in treating sex offenders, yet everyone, including psychologist will tell you "they CAN'T be treated". It's pure laziness and to put it bluntly it's causing more kids to get assulted because we would rather just label these people uncurable rahter then taking the time and money and really doing something other then just creating a self fullfilling prophecy for the pedophile to live up to.
