The Paedophile Next Door (True Crime Documentary) | Real Stories

In this documentary, Steve Humpries takes us into the dark underworld of child sexual abuse. Exploring previous cases, the documentary looks at how the law protects the children, what psychological consequences survivors of child sexual abuse experience - and how to help preventing child sexual abuse in the future.
Through interviews with investigators, survivors, experts on the area, and even previous offenders, this topical film is calling for action where legislation has failed, exploring alternative strategies for keeping kids safe from sexual predators.

​@fazlullahhayat184 People have non-traumatic memories from their childhood as early as 2 years old, so if you add an extremely traumatic event (as SA certainly is) to said childhood, of course it's gonna be remembered, CSA is something that some survivors descibe as "it never leaves you". Although some children's brains block out that traumatic memory in order to protect their well-being, so some CSA survivors don't even know they went through it until decades later when the trauma resurfaces and it all comes back to their memory.

To see all these children using Instagram, snapchat, tiktok, etc. unsupervised is troubling. I hope more parents will become aware of the dangers.

[@ojibwaynamedkat]

The same with me. Boys my age never paid attention to me so when I talked tobthese guys online, I felt good and heard. Unfortunately, I met up with a few of them. Before meeting these predators, I would brag to my friends and thought I was cool about how I have an 20-something year old "boyfriend." After I felt dirty and disgusting and for a very long time I was numbing that pain and thought I was worthless. I even tried unaliving myself a few times. It wasn't until I told someone what happened that my healing began. It wasn't my fault, I was a child and I was groomed from a very young age. I know that now.

I agree. I was groomed online as a child and later as a teenager. It was horrific and it scares me to this day to think that images of me as a minor are still online somewhere, or on somebody's computer or hard drive. But even though that's the case, having this experience made me want to help all those people who are doing these things, so that future generations don't suffer the way I and many others did. Because these people.. They're extremely troubled people, they're humans who have a sort of extreme mental illness. Getting to know them personally, even as a teenager, I could see that they're somehow deeply mentally affected and genuinely need help, but can't get it. It's a really conflicting topic.

[@mekkimechanicvt4855]

@@WildVee I share a similar story to you, as well as similar sentiments. I've read multiple open-source published research papers on research on these individuals to get an idea of why my groomer took advantage of me online. The more I've read the more I am convinced the way forwards is to, in spite of their attractions and actions, see them as humans and understand the causes of these attractions so that we can stop the issue at the root. In the most extreme of cases, of course it would be frugal to hand down a harsh sentence for the aim of protecting children in the community. But as well I see value in examining why these individuals offend so that we can examine the pathways that lead to such attractions whether it be untreated childhood trauma, simple bad luck in brain chemistry etc. Ironically in my opinion and experience as a victim myself, treating this wide range of offenders as wholesale irredeemable monsters who do not deserve understanding even if for research does more harm than good.

I find the whole thing vile myself and I'm a survivor as well but I do believe long term therapy can reduce the number of victims. Thr public should be advocating for more treatment programs so these men (and women) feel they can cone forward for help before they offend.

[@lindahl458]

ciaran perry Sexuality is a descriptor for what kind of person you are interested in and is often based on gender (except for asexual). Fetish however is when the sexual attraction is solely based on someone fulfilling certain criteria and is detached from romance. Since the attraction to the child ends as the child grows older it is clearly not based on the person but the fact that it is a child, therefore it is a fetish.

[@arrowana9026]

exactly, yes we know they cant control it but you also cant control schizophrenia, theyre mental problems

This was heart breaking to watch, and yet I’m so very glad to see this (beginning) shift to listen to people who experience sexual attraction to children. When I worked in a hospital many years ago, I met a person who checked himself in because he was so concerned that he would not be able to maintain his sworn celibacy; he had “always” been attracted to children and never acted upon this. He was in his 50’s and had been single his whole life. He was going through major life stressors (just as described in the documentary, this can increase the risk of harming a child). It was through talking with him - listening to his experiences - that I came to develop so much compassion for people who truly do not want to engage sexually with (ie: abuse, assault) children, and how hard it is for them to find any safe place to talk about their own confusion and struggles.

I came forward to stop my uncle when I was 18 and I went to the police and I had a breakdown going through it all, I’ve been in and out of psychiatric hospitals but I’ve been free from self harm and being sectioned for a year. I’m very proud of myself because I was broken for so long and even now every single day is a struggle and I am 25 now. I’ve tried to understand how anyone could do this to a child. But and personally I think there is a big difference between the sadistic smug family member that did it to me and a person who has these urges and is disgusted with themselves and does everything not to act on it.

[@ImperfectionGuaranteed]

You're doing well! It is interesting to me to see a number of people who were previously victims, being in the lead when it comes to understanding the difference between simply *being* a paedophile, and being an *offending* paedophile, and their grasp of the need to look more deeply into the 'causes' of paedophilia, with the intention of finding ways to prevent the occurrence of offences. Keep on being positive. All the best!

I'd like to be able to say that it no longer affects me in a negative manner. As by doing so I would be taking my power back from those that abused my innocence but I am not there yet.

[@ShamblesMD]

It seems to be a mix of 1000's of years of biology where humans instinctively have to breed and dominance. Pedophiles are adults who have a strong sexual urge to be in control over someone they know can't easily fight back. Many pedos who were abused as children crave the control they never had as children. So they know better than anyone that children are the easiest targets. Just a theory though.

[@SH-zn1dm]

If they go to a therapist they can say exactly that. If they have not acted on it they can’t get in trouble

[@justme-ew3ri]

Then you look at what you will do to that child and that family and yourself and you don’t do it... they have groups for pedophiles to go to.....get help before you act... and then control yourself.

[@samanthamalcolm7810]

It was really frustrating when they kept saying "men" when referring to abusers. Not only do women also abuse children but they go a lot less unreported. It's another stigma and stereotype that needs to be squashed. So many children could be saved if we not only prevent the actions with therapy but also acknowledge the different types of abusers - including women.

[@krazel9]

Pedophiles don't deserve a second chance. There is no cure for them. They need to be locked up for life, or sent far away to live on an island, nowhere near children. Abuse stays with the abused for life, they deserve peace knowing abusers once caught are never set free!

[@fionasimagination]

I was abused for multiple years as a 3 year old in Kindergarden. I repressed the memories for years but had to live with the psychological damage before the memories reserficed and ever since. Afterwards I had sever bladder infections and threw up multiple times a day for years due to reliving memories and the physical feeling of what was shoved down my throat, I still have those. I also lived with the feeling of having to please everyone, to never complain, to always do exactly as I was told by everyone and not to attract any attention because I was taught that otherwise "the worst" would happen to me and my mother. I believed we were under constant surveillance way into my adulthood and that I had to hide this big secret, that I did something wrong and if it came out I and my mother would be punished and "the worst" whatever that was to be would accur. I have been reliving memories, images, physical feelings , smells and tastes daily and every time I close my eyes for 25 years now. I wake up screaming and still can't sleep for more than 2 hours at a time. It was a few years of pleasure for him and a lifetime of trauma for me.

[@Hshjshshjsj72727]

is there some kind of medication or therapy that could help you? logically there's no reason the body should be reliving things that are very old and that are not current dangers

[@fionasimagination]

@@Hshjshshjsj72727 My psychologist said it is normal that once there is a period of "rest" the body will bring up past trauma that hasn't been processed yet. In acute danger you run on adrenaline and don't have time to process so it is pushed back "for later" to survive. Unfortunately it does resurface at some point.

[@tinat7004]

My mother met my step-father when I was 3. By the age of 10 I had already been through years of physical and sexual abuse. The sexual only stopped at when my mother walked in and witnessed it when I was 10. He was only asked to leave for 2wks before returning and I was blamed by him and until she died, my mother also, which hurt far worse than anything. After 2yrs of looking across the breakfast table at a man who had done so much damage, my mother decided she’d had finally had her fill of him and only then turned him in. He was to serve time in prison until I was 18 however, I served a life long sentence. These men cannot be cured. they just can’t. There were treatments put in place for him however he reoffended. That should never be allowed to happen. I’ve done my time and he should’ve been made to do the same.

[@cristinarichart1118]

The betrayal by the mothers who were supposed to protect us and then stay w the perpetrator hurts far more than the abuse in my case

Cristina Richart I totally agree. That’s always been the biggest betrayal of for me too and was a huge wall between my mom too all the way up to her passing. They just can’t comprehend their guilt I guess. Maybe it’s because if they did look at it in truth, the huge amount of shame for what they had done to their own child would be too great. Idk, it’s one of those things We can’t really understand because everyone do t think like that.

It happened to me, the earliest memory 3yrs old, and ongoing until I was 13 and was placed in foster care. It was perpetrated by my stepfather. And sometimes his army buddies. And his brother. The physical acts stopped when I was removed from the home, but the after shocks have continued throughout my entire lifetime, and I am 52 yrs old now. It impacted everything. It is still a process of healing to this day. He died 6 yrs ago and I've made peace, and I didn't say goodbye and never regret it. Healing took grit and perseverance...3 yrs of 3 days a week therapy. I am much better after it all, and still struggle with PTSD triggered days. I know how to handle them today, but all the years that I didn't caused a lot of other challenges in my life.
