Be careful

Quote From: jensfun

Who brain washed you? Spiritual man? Kind and intelligent? He molested children. I don't care how reformed these men say they are anyone who hurts a child should be locked up for the rest of their lives. A woman is lucky to have a man who has sexually molested children? Give me a break. If I ever found out someone on my street molested kids I would get out of there so fast. My childrens lives are a hell of a lot more important then scum like that. 

I don't care what program they went into. You even wrote he is addicted and follows strict principles. To me that is not a person who would never hurt a child again. 

I can understand your belief in this man as you sound like a very religious person, but please be very careful. It is true that there are very successful programs out there that are considered recovery programs. BUT as a sexual assault counselor and a parent of two young girls who were molested by my sons friend, I know these programs have a high fail rate, especially if the perpetrator is older and more experienced in his/ her addiction. My daughters molester was 15 and very skilled already, and although I knew the signs he did nothing blatant enough to alert me. He was tried and convicted, because I knew the proper response. He was sent to counseling (no jail time). This was seven years ago, two weeks ago my now adult son calls me to inform me that this converted child molester has done it again and there is a warrant for his arrest! I believe proper counseling can work but the success rate is extremely low and usually the best candidates are young youthful offenders, but the courts don't mandate the offenders to be in the more proven counseling programs. SO PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL!
