First of all… introductions are in order.
“Hi. My name is AFSister, and I’m a Pedophile Hater”.
Phew… that wasn’t hard at all! Many thanks to Drunken Samurai for the invite to post here. My “normal” blog is My Side Of The Puddle. It’s more of a diarist blog- I write about things that are on my mind. Sometimes it’s political, sometimes it’s personal. But everything I care about ends up on that site somehow. I guess that’s why I write about my boys so much. I’ve always been afraid of someone snatching them and using them to fulfill some sort of sick fantasy about children. That’s why when DS told me about this site, I knew I had to be involved.
When my first son was born, he was such a beautiful baby that people used to stop me and ask when I was going to put him in modeling. Some mistook him for a girl, and would say “she’s going to have boys knocking down your doors every night.” I know he’s my child, so I’m biased… but he really is beautiful. My second son is extremely cute too, and the most outgoing person I’ve ever been around. I swear, that kid’s never met a stranger. The combination of beautiful children and no fear of strangers has always put me on alert when I’m out with them, or when they’re outside alone.
I’m not paranoid, but I am alert. The problem is… Who do you look out for? What do pedophiles look like? That’s the scariest thing of all, because they look pretty damn normal. I came across an article today, entitled “Profile of a Pedophile”, which was extremely enlightening, and frightening, all at the same time. According to Tammy Ruggles’ article, pedophiles “aren’t confined to our Catholic churches. They are in Protestant churches, synagogues, and mosques. Some of them are teachers, counselors, scout leaders, truck drivers, factory workers, and youth ministers. In fact, they are wherever children can be found, irrespective of age, race, education, occupation, class, social standing, or income.”
She goes on to profile common pedophile characteristics we should all be aware of, including:
1. Being popular with both children and adults.
2. Appearing trustworthy and respectable, with a good standing in the community.
3. Singling out children who seem troubled and in need of attention or affection.
4. Rarely forces or coerces a child into sexual contact. Usually through trust and friendship. Physical contact is gradual, from touching, to picking up, to holding on lap, to kissing, etc.
5. Are primarily (but not always) male, masculine, better-educated, more religious than average, in their thirties, and choose jobs allowing them greater access to children.
6. Are usually family men, have no criminal record, and deny that they abuse children, even after caught, convicted, incarcerated, and court-ordered into a sex offender program. The marriage is often troubled by sexual dysfunction, and serves as a smokescreen for the pedophile’s true preferences and practices.
7. Are often, but not always, themselves victims of some form of childhood sexual abuse.
8. A female pedophile usually abuses a child when partnered with an adult male pedophile, and is often herself a victim of chronic sexual abuse.
9. Some pedophiles recognize that their behavior is criminal, immoral, and unacceptable by society, and operate in secrecy.
10. Some are quite open and militant about their practices and advocate the normalization of pedophilia under the guise of freedom of speech and press, and uses innocuous language like “intergenerational intimacy.”
I’m not putting this out there to scare anyone, or make you paranoid. I’m posting this to make sure we are all more aware of our surroundings and who is interacting with our children. Be aware. Keep our children safe.
we have gathered enough information to immediately move into a Code 82. See email for full details
Just some random thoughts from Australia’s foremost forensic psychiatrist in the area of sex offenders, Bill Glaser, in referring to child sex abuse:
I gotta get to bed, so I’ll make this short. A local man was sentenced to 120 years for possession/distribution of child pornography, yesterday. When I say local, I mean local. He was from my town. That hits close to home. Way too close. But it begs a question… why are some people getting off on probation for raping kids, while this guy gets 120 years?
FYI: Some of the kids (in the pics) were HIS OWN. Yeah, that’s pretty sick. He deserved all of the 120 years of his sentence. I am not disputing that, in any way. What bothers me is that people who have done much worse get slapped on the wrist and return to society, and some of them then rape and kill innocent children.
Yes, child porn is WRONG. It deserves a stiff sentence. I am just dumbfounded as to how a child rapist gets probation, while someone who possesses pics gets 120 years. A flaw in the justice system? I think so. If it were up to me, I’d hang them all…
I call myself the Shoprat and my blog is The Educated Shoprat. That was originally a bit of good-natured ribbing from a co-worker that I found myself taking pride in. I am pleased, proud, yet humbled to be part of this. You will be hearing more from me soon.
For some reason TODD and his cronies think they can invent a fictitious character named Dominic and fool unsuspecting people. Dominic, being just your average John Doe, knowing nothing about pedophilia and hearing of the money returned to Todd Nickerson from Save the Children, well he was just appalled and decided to investigate. Lo and behold he discovers that Absolute Zero wasn’t started because of the harassment from pedophiles…..oh no….it was started simply to harass and threaten with death innocent bystanders. The pedophiles who are just soooo good and pure and angelic. The ones who know best how to care for our children. And we dear friends are bigots and nazi’s.
I knew Todd was stupid, I just didn’t realize he was THAT stupid. Absolute Zero had nothing to do with the return of their advertising money they sent to Save the Children. (Although we would have, had it not already been taken care of when we heard of it) Furthermore, anyone can see right through poor Dominic. Save the Children has been alerted to your fake “non-pedophile” letters of support, Todd.
I just wanted to take a second and say hello to y’all, and I am one of the new Contributors at Absolute Zero. My name is Christopher and I run a blog here.
I also wanted to say that I’m proud to be part of the team!

**Ya’ll may have to forgive me for cross posting this… but I was just dying to share it:
Some people will vote along party lines in 2008. Some will vote according to faith, others according to the issues that weigh most on their minds. Some will just vote according to whoever makes the best promises.
It is strange how people will get to making their choice about which person they to lead the Nation, and although I have heard a varied amount of reasons for why people choose one candidate over the other, this by far is the most disturbing, sickening and utterly repulsive reasoning in the history of voting:
I have decided to predict the next president not by the candidate’s political views, savoir-faire and fund-raising prowess but by something completely different. I have decided to make my prediction based upon what lovely First Daughter we can look forward to watching grow up for four to eight years. To give the older candidates a fighting chance, I have decided to evaluate granddaughters as well, but granddaughters will not be weighted as highly since we cannot expect to see First Granddaughters as often as First Daughters.
That is taken directly from the site of self acclaimed paedophile Linsday Ashford. Yes, the very same Ashford that I recently disclosed had attempted to use a children’s charity to further his disgusting and demented corruption of children. (See both links)
What is particularly disturbing about this evaluation of the children of political leaders is that he has added to the insult by posting photos of the children, thus jeopardizing their safety as his minions ponder what deviant actions they could commit against these innocent children.
The list is gathered from both parties and includes images and information on the children/ grandchild of: Senator John Edwards, Governor Mark Warner, Senator Joseph Biden, Senator Tom Daschle, Senator Barack Obama, Senator Chris Dodd, Senator George Allen, Senator Sam Brownback, Governor Mitt Romney, Senator John McCain, Senator Rick Santorum, Representative Mike Pence, and Vice President Dick Cheney.
In case the whole thing with Save the Children, (see earlier posts) didn’t tip you off to the fact that I tend to be a “little blogger with a big mouth” that feels it’s important to inform people of what is going on, then this next part should quickly pass the message through.
I spent the day calling campaign offices about this situation. First, because as a citizen I believe that it is my job (and yours) to keep our leaders informed of the dangers lurking around their children. I may not care for someone’s political stand… but I care about the safety of their children. Secondly, I was really interested in knowing just how these people felt when the tables where turned. So often it seems that many ignore the problems of pedophilia, child molesters and the like when they are sitting safely behind their Washington desks. If we can wake them up to remind them about how we feel intimidated and concerned when the child molester moves in next door, by showing them that even their children with all their security around, can be attacked by the likes of Ashford and his minions, then perhaps they will come to be more understanding when making laws, signing bills and doing their jobs we elected them to.
What amazed me the absolute most was the response from Senator Barack Obama public relations guy, who informed me that not only was he not willing to react to this, not willing to make a statement on it, but that he really wasn’t that concerned. I can only hope that his boss would have taken a different stand on it. Although, perhaps it was the fact that Obama’s children were “in the lead” in Ashfords predicted election results that clouded his better judgment.
By far the best reaction, and the most concerned came from Senator Rick Santorum’s office, and his Chief of Staff was truly a pleasure to talk to, despite the fact that our discussion evolved around the most disturbing and disgusting man on the Internet.
Adding onto the “pedophile voting” disgrace is the fact that there is potential for these predators to reenact their “donation” plot yet again… only this time it appears that they intended receiver of the funds returned by Save the Children will be someone’s campaign funds. In response one member of the child molesters forum suggested that they should write and complain to Senators that their money was returned. The answer he received back?
Instead of writing to Senators to complain, offer to donate to their campaigns… I think that they *will* take the money
Nothing like polluting campaigns even more. Although, I have to wonder just which Senator would be willing to accept funds from an organized group of scum child molesters? If nothing else, it would certainly perk up the nightly news a bit, heh? And perhaps, then our leaders will be more in-tune to listening to people when it comes to helping protect our children against these predators.
