Sex Offenders Who Target Childrens.

Sex offenders who target Children.
During this research, I found that sex offenders who target children to be a diverse group that possesses no tidy criminal profile and does not discriminate by race, gender, class or age. Based on this it can be said that sex offenders are: males and females, young adults, middle aged adults, and seniors, upper class, middle class, and disadvantaged, all races& ethnicities vocationally diverse.
One child pornography sting operation by the U.S. Justice Department and Customs Postal Inspectors resulted in well over two hundred arrests. The occupation of those arrested was a virtual rainbow of American life, representing 44% of all occupations listed by the U.S. Department of Labor.
Some statistics of child offenders living in United States.Approximately 800,000 convicted pedophiles currently reside in the United States, according to Department of Justice estimates. A 2000 statistical report by the US Department of Justice found that female offenders victimized: 12% of victims under the age of 6, 66% of victims ages 6 to 12, 3% of victims ages 12 to 17.
Child molester victim’s average:
Male offenders who abused girls had an average of 52victims each .Men who molested boys had an astonishing average of 150 victims each. Only 3% of these crimes had ever been detected.
Few child molesters are able to resist their powerful urges to initiate contact with children and will go to great lengths to do so. Common strategies include:
Befriending parents, particularly single parents, to gain access to their children.
Offering babysittingservices to overextended parents or caregivers.
Taking jobs and participating in community events that involve children.
Attending sporting events for children and/or offering to coach children’s sports.
Volunteering in youth organizations, offering to chaperone overnight trips
Loitering in places children frequent as playgrounds, malls, game arcades, etc.
Spending time in Internet gamingand social communities, learning the online interests and lingo of youngsters.
Becoming foster parents.
The most common method used by child molesters is The Affection Lure. Most victims of abuse are groomed over a period of weeks, months, or years. The Affection Lure is used both offline and online to seduce unsuspecting youngsters in need of love and attention. Child molesters have repeatedlytold me: When there is a physically or emotionally absent parent in the picture, it makes the child more vulnerable than ever.
The majority of molesters have a preference for children on the brink of puberty. This is the age of sexual awakening, making it easy for molesters to prey on the sexual curiosity and ignorance of youngsters. I would like to quote one sexual offender “Give me a kid whoknows nothing about sex, and you’ve given me my next victim”. While we as parents are inclined to give pre-teens and teens more freedom and less supervision, this age group is actually most vulnerable to sexual crimes. We must talk frankly and often to our children about basic sex education and not allow sex offenders to educate our children for us.
It is not an easy task to detect sex offenders byvigilant parents because sex offenders who prey on children:
Are notoriously friendly, nice, kind, engaging and likeable.
Target their victims, often insinuating themselves into that child’s life, their family, school, house of worship, sports, and hobbies.
Are professional con artists and are expert at getting children and families to trust them.
Will smile at you, look you right in the eyeand make you believe they are trustworthy.
There are kids and teens that sexually abuse other children, and many of these juvenile offenders are victims of sexual abuse themselves. A United States Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics report found that:
23% of all sexual offenders were under the age of 18
40% of offenders of victims under age 6 were themselves juveniles
13%...
