Who are the Child Molesters?

You think you know me well, you don't.
I am your husband, your father, your brother.
I am your wife, your mother, your sister.
I am someone's son or daughter. Someone raised me.
They did not intend for me to grow up to be a sex offender.
They would be shocked, if they knew.

Advice from Child Molesters...

I am someone you know, but you don't really know me. I hide who I am.
Trust your child, not me. They deserve your trust, I don't.
Tell them that people who do "secret touching" have a problem like stealing or lying. Don't confuse your child by calling it a sickness or a disease.
What I do is sick, but it not a sickness, it's selfishness.
Trust your instinct. If something doesn't seem right, investigate it further.
Make sure your children know that I HIDE ON THE INTERNET. Teach them to avoid me.
Check up on them. Keep the computer in the kitchen or other gathering room in your home.

How Child Molesters Gain Access to your Children:
I present the appearance of being someone you can trust and rely on.
I offer to babysit or take children on "special outings.'
I spend my free time "helping" children.
If I am a parent, it is even easier for me to isolate and control my children.
My wife and family will never suspect a thing.
I point out when kids lie.
You will help me offend, and you won't even know you are doing it.
