investigators monitoring a single online chatroom in 2017 identified 4,000 men using it from the UK alone.

Bailey, the National Police Chiefs’ Council lead on child protection, estimated the number of men interested in sexually abusing children at more than 20,000.

I had no idea that this was such a common thing. I always assumed there were a couple of hundred, maybe.

20,000! There is a bloody army of them. Even if every one of them could be rounded up, where would you put them?

It's another area which I have a very limited understanding of but don't paedos become paedos because they were abused as kids themselves?

 
Everytime I read this thread title I want to sing this.

I guess out of 56 ish million people, the percentage is around and about at the level you might expect?

Sickening and awful isn't it? Not read greatly on this, but what I have read (and seen in a few programmes) it says there isn't really a cure for them either. Frightening stuff. Has to be the worst crime against humanity hurting little children and destroying their lives. I'm afraid I'd be more than happy for the paedos to be humanely put down.
 
The question that springs to my mind is;

Of this so called 20,000, how many are actual paedos and how many are 'painted with the same brush' by having sexual activity with someone who they thought were of age.

Also, how many of the 20,000 are women?....

Pride you make some good points there about people who thought they were having sex with an over 16 and women.

The other point is though they are few and far between there are those who identify with having those feelings but do not act on them. I seen a program on this.

There is also a 12 step program (one of many that have off shooted from the original origins of A.A) that was set up in The U.S for people to attend to help with their difficulties of abstaining. It is apparently available in The U.K though obviously not widely discussed before of the nature of it
 
I think if you have kids that you should be notified if there's one close to where you live.

The estimate of 20,000 is based off 4,000 identified on a paedophile website. I don't think they fall into the category you are talking about.
 
As Fear says, 20,00 isn't a very large percentage of 56,000,000 but the estimated number shocked me. It's obviously a much bigger number than I had thought.

That said, not all of those 20,000 are actively looking to abuse children but they obviously harbour the fantasy if they are visiting those websites.
 
Cheers for the video M.D. Just spotted it. Nine million bicycles was one of our wedding songs. I now need to erase your post from my head :10:
