With Easter having just past, I thought I would show you how a Sex Crime Cop sees the holiday (sent to me on Easter Sunday by a sex crime cop with the statement \u201cthis is how I see Easter.\u00a0 Everything\u2019s has become so sick.\u201d)\u00a0 We all see the world as a threatening place when something bad happens.\u00a0 For the sex crime cop, it frequently goes way too far.\u00a0 Any situation that their child is involved in, or their grandchild, or a child they know casually, bring up images in their heads.\u00a0 It morphs from Boy Scouts, to clergy, to teachers, even to mythical figures dressing up at a shopping mall.\u00a0 The worst part, is they don\u2019t even have to have experienced these kinds of things, the images can be within their own creative minds.<\/span><\/p>\n You see the cop that is doing these kinds of cases jumps into a world of fetishes and philias, and crimes that are outside the box.\u00a0 They see such creative types of perversions within the first year of sex crime work that they didn\u2019t know existed growing up or working the streets.\u00a0 And it doesn\u2019t come from a books or pictures, it comes from real life, real images.\u00a0 Drinking blood, nah that\u2019s the easy stuff, \u2018having sex with animals while smeared with human blood and eating engorged organs that come from who knows where while you are screaming like a Japanese Water Buffalo in heat,\u2019 that\u2019s the crazy stuff they are exposed to (yes there are Japanese water buffalo).\u00a0 That\u2019s the stuff of real perversions.\u00a0 The type of perversion they are\u00a0 exposed to daily surpasses their imagination and is a terrific shock to their systems, and if there are children involved ii intensifies their involvement.<\/span><\/p>\n So how does this lead to delusions?\u00a0 Well, it is not the conventional delusions, but they start seeing everyone as a potential sex offender; they think have a view into everyone\u2019s dark side.\u00a0 Or perhaps just their potential dark side.\u00a0 They go through the entire scenario of a child being abused when they simply go to church or a scout meeting.\u00a0 That is the delusion.\u00a0 A sex crime cop told me about going into a priest\u2019s home and seeing the material on the floor of the closet from his masses, and cards from parishioners just thrown around like junk, while he went to their computer and saw years of child porn organized neatly by type of image.\u00a0 How do you think he felt when his kid was going through confirmation classes?\u00a0 Or first communion?\u00a0 It becomes a perverted delusion that spreads to everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n So, Santa Claus is a perverted old man that likes little children on his lap.\u00a0 Uncle Sam wants to see little kid writhing with excitement at his fireworks.\u00a0 And Betty Boop is an elementary school teacher that wants to see little boy\u2019s find their manhood. \u00a0Not to mention Scoutmaster Bucky, the Alan the Zookeeper, Frosty the Snowman and the entire Muppet cast of the Sesame Street.\u00a0 They hang out in amusement parks, shopping malls, zoos, trampoline parks and even miniature golf.\u00a0 A crime against children can happen anywhere there are children!<\/span><\/p>\n So how do you stop the delusions?\u00a0 Well, in previous articles I have said when they start going overboard with seeing crimes, it might be a time to move them from the unit.\u00a0 That is the first step very often.\u00a0 The next is to have them work on deprogramming with a therapist or a psychologist that has experience with policing. \u00a0What are the steps that would need to be taken to make the officer more comfortable?<\/span><\/p>\n Certainly, it would involve letting the persons involved know what kind of work you did and the suspicions you have, not in an accusatory way, but just a caution.\u00a0 Unless, they are very sociopathic, sometimes knowing there is extra scrutiny make some perversions disappear quickly or get under control.\u00a0 Many sex offenders say I never had the urge around some child because their father was a cop or a boss\u2019s kid. \u00a0I can remember two cases where the sex offender was related to the child and seemed to offend against every other child in the family except the cop\u2019s kid.\u00a0 Don\u2019t be afraid to let people know what you do.<\/span><\/p>\n A second way is to get involved.\u00a0 Be close enough to the situation at times.\u00a0 Volunteer for camp outs or go to the field trip.\u00a0 Offer to assistant coach.\u00a0 Most sex offenders look for easy prey.\u00a0 Don\u2019t make it easy for them.\u00a0 Be present when your child is with a new adult.\u00a0 Remember, most adults are scared someone will walk in on them, so make your presence known.<\/span><\/p>\n Finally, a sex crimes officer needs to recognize that protection is never complete, but precaution can be.\u00a0 Anyone can walk outside your door and be hit by a bus that jumps the curve, or step into a car with a friend who is a bad driver.\u00a0 You tell them the signs to avoid, and ask them about something that happens, but you can\u2019t totally stop them from living.\u00a0 We all live with that risk every day with our loved ones.\u00a0 We do everything we can do to prepare our children for un-towardly situations and people.\u00a0 We tell them of signs, and ways to escape, and rules when driving, but we have to decide if they can handle the situation with reasonable amount of precaution.\u00a0 Then we turn them loose and watch them.\u00a0 And watch them.\u00a0 And watch them.<\/span><\/p>\n
