ok this is ganna be a fairly dark post but i did a paper on this in school so please bare with me i was hardly able to keep from throwing up with these numbers and statistics i found
okay i did a report for school on child molesters for school last semester (it was part of speech class and here is what i find sooo deeply disturbing studies showed and they broke it down Child Molesters and Pedophiles fall into the same category but are two different types of people...Child Molesters are labeled as men and sometimes women who know what they are doing is wrong and know they have a problem and know they are hurting a child and don't care pedophiles are men and women who know they have a problem and know they arent well in head but they think the child wants sex...its strange i know...i spent hours researching this for my speech and now here are some really disturbing statics i broke a lot of these down myself from basic facts given to me
there are currently 305,529,237 people in the united states as of January 1st 2009 it is reported that 1-5% of the US population molests children (now i did the math and just rounded it off to the 5%) that means there are 15,276,461 people in the US that are child molesters
"There are 400,000 registered sex offenders in the United States, and an estimated 80 to 100,000 of them are missing.
child molesters often start young around 17+ there are cases where they start younger and will molest until caught they average out that a predator will molest between 1-10 children OR until caught the reason be is becuase it is only reported 1-5% of the time
1-10 children that are molested will becomes child molesters themselves when they reach adulthood so breaking that down
that means 1,527,646 will now be child molesters themselves
