Exclusive: TSA frisks groom children to cooperate with sex predators, abuse expert says

An expert in the fight against child sexual abuse is raising the alarm about a technique the TSA is reportedly using to get children to co-operate with airport pat-downs: calling it a "game".

Ken Wooden, founder of Child Lures Prevention, says the TSA's recommendation that children be told the pat-down is a "game" is potentially putting children in danger.

Telling a child that they are engaging in a game is "one of the most common ways" that sexual predators use to convince children to engage in inappropriate contact, Wooden told Raw Story.

Children "don't have the sophistication" to distinguish between a pat-down carried out by an airport security officer and an assault by a sexual predator, he said.

1. Sorry, TSA was last week's outrage...

this week's outrage is the federal employees wage freeze.

18. Not funny.

Childhood sexual abuse leaves lifelong scars that are forever, not the 'outrage of the week.'

Don't make jokes.

2. Yes. And grooming us all to willingly give up our Constitutional rights.

3. Don't Be Silly

All parents have to do is tell kids to cooperate with uniformed men and women who are forceful and impersonal, so they'll know the difference.

[intheflow]

19. Right. Because a sexual predator would never think to impersonate a uniformed officer of some kind.

6. Agree... teaches obedience to behavior which is inappropriate which we all know....

And parents are also accepting this inappropriate behavior being

practiced on their children!!

[CLANG]

10. Many parents are dumb as the sack of rocks children they will raise

[denem]

11. OH wait 50% of abuse takes place in the home,

where parents groom their children to obey them (but this time it's a secret).

Oh wait. 2 million slide it no poverty.

Oh wait. The TSA is sexy.

Privatize 'em now.

16. uh, yeah....

Whatya smokin'?

20. Statistics

22. I didn't notice any bad grammer.

The article made sense - unlike your 'smokin' post.

[woo me with science]

12. You know what? Even if it doesn't groom a single child to submit to a sexual predator,

it is still WRONG.

A government that lines you up to put its hands in YOUR pants and on your children's bodies is OUT OF LINE.

Lying to children that it is a "game" is even more insulting, abusive, and outrageous.

No, this TSA fascism is not "last week's outrage." Outrage over this trashing of our Fourth Amendment rights, outrage over this violation of our liberty, privacy, and dignity is not over.

The MAIN predator this outrage grooms children to accept is the US GOVERNMENT. This must be stopped.

13. Children have the ability to distinguish police/tsa from ordinary people

At least mine did. Kids can distinguish between an official in a uniform and "uncle" ted, since most sexual predation seems to be by someone known to the child.

However, it still is teaching them to simply do what officials uniforms tell them to do.

[CLANG]

14. So uncle ted dresses up in a uniform - in like flynn!!

[uppityperson]

15. Exactly!

not saying this is in any way right, just that kids can distinguish between uniformed people and "uncle ted". Question authority.

25. Authority - "Satanic Conspiracy theorist ken Wooden"

The OP's "expert" is a real pip.

It is amazing how frauds and charlatans manage to re-invent themselves every few years - and how the gullible just eat it right up.

Lawrence Pazder, coauthor of Michelle Remembers, told the San Francisco Examiner he acted as a consultant to Los Angeles police investigating McMartin and to parents nationwide; McMartin parent Jackie McGaulley has confided she met with him during the early days of the investigation. Around the same time, ken Wooden, the Satanic conspiracy theorist, mailed information to 3,500 prosecutors describing what to look for in ritual abuse cases.

17. No parent in his/her right mind...

would...or should...tell kids that the TSA patdown is a "game" any more than a responsible parent would tell a kid that medicine is "candy".

I don't like the pat down crap any more than the next person does, but the pat downs themselves aren't the problem here with regards to setting kids up for sexual predators.

It's what a parent tells his/her kid(s) about it and which people are allowed to do exactly what to a child's body...from family members to doctors, friends, etc.

Children need to be taught what touches are appropriate in what settings, and the younger ones should be taught #1 that NOBODY is to touch them in certain places without mom/dad being there. Period.

21. Is this the same Ken Wooden who in the 1990s was warning about satanists in child care centers

abusing children?
