CHILD PREDATORY BEHAVIOR i.e. MICHAEL JACKSON
(I'm feeling disgusted)
I found this while reading bobbyt101's blog. This deserves repeating. Not as any direct reference to recently departed pop singer icons, but as a warning to parents for the signs to watch. To protect their own children from these sick predators:
(for all my reading challenged viewers, I have also embedded this video:
JIM KOURI- A former chief at a housing project in New York City's Washington Heights district As a cop, I investigated several sex crimes with victims who were children. Both pedophile and pederast cases (pedophiles victimize pre-pubescent kids, while pederasts prey on pubescent kids). In fact, one of the biggest cases of my career was in a New York City hospital where a 12-year old female patient was sexually abused by a hospital employee (the suspect got 20 years; I got a commendation). So I kind of speak from experience. My contribution to the discussion of Michael Jackson and the allegations of child molestation will be simple:
Here are the characteristics of child sex offenders from an article I wrote a couple of years back for The Chief of Police Magazine. You judge for yourself whether Michael Jackson fits the MO of a predator. They:
* Are popular with children, teens and adults.
* Appear to be trustworthy and respectable. * Have good standing in the community.
* Prefer the company of children and teens. * Are mainly attracted to pre-pubescent boys and girls and can be heterosexual, homosexual or bisexual.
* "Groom" children with quality time, video games, parties, toys, candy, gifts or money.
* Single out children who appear troubled and in need of attention or affection; children from dysfunctional families.
* Often date or marry women with children or have children who are the age of their preferred victims.
* Rarely force or coerce children into sexual contact; it's usually done through trust and friendship. In addition, physical contact is gradual, from touching and holding to sitting the child on the lap and kissing.
They derive gratification in a number of ways. For some, looking is enough. For others taking pictures and watching children undress is enough. Still others require physical contact. They find different ways and places to be alone with children; and are primarily male, better educated and more religious than the average person. Child sex abusers usually choose jobs that provide them with greater access to childen. Even if the pedophile has no children, his home is usually child-friendly with toys, books, video games, computers, bikes, swimming pool, rec room swing sets and other items to attract children into his home and to keep the children coming back. Usually the items reflect the preferred age of his victims.
The pedophile usually has no criminal record and deny they abuse children even after arrested, prosecuted, convicted, incarcerated and ordered into a sex offender therapy program. Pedophiles are often victims of childhood sexual abuse themselves, or they may have grown up in a dysfunctional home environment. Parents, if you notice someone like this interacting with your kids; be very aware.
