Why do some people view female paedophiles differently to male abusers?
The Lads' Bible asked me to comment in their article about female paedophiles and why some people view them differently. I was surprised, I didn't know LB tackled such serious topics. Please see the article for my comments.
Male or female it doesn't matter, a vile paedophile is a vile paedophile. I'm not a forensic psychologist and this isn't an area I've studied, but I dearly wish we had stronger punishments for them in our country and more resources to track them down.
Having met people through my work (and on social media) who are adult survivors of childhood abuse, the heartbreaking, terrible legacy lives on with them.
If you experienced abuse please seek support from one of the many helping organisations for adult survivors or see your GP about referral to a specialist counsellor.
Take care of yourself, Pam x
