What Nobody Wants to Know about Homosexuals

All of us in the family-values community are up in arms against the Gay Lobby, but sometimes we forget that the enemy is not just the young guy with the earrings. The enemy is often right behind us: some kindly grandfather, a sweet teen, or a quiet parent. It is easy to arouse the troops when the druggies and perverts come charging over the hill demanding our children, but when child molesters are busy in our backyards, and we don't know enough to watch out, the damage can be much worse.

There are thousands of Americans fighting the gays while their children are away in sleepover summer camp. What they don't know is that their kids in camp are in great danger of learning the very things we don't want. Boys alone with boys in the summertime, when discipline is relaxed, and schedules are loose, is the biggest problem. Thousands of boys simple and pure will go to camp and come home much different. Summer is suspect because wherever children go swimming there are pedophiles panting behind. No, it's not pleasant to talk about. Years ago, I wrote a book about this. I got a call from a clergyman. He said, "A congregant came to me with your book, and he said, 'If I had read this book earlier, my child and all of her classmates would not have been molested by their teacher.'"

Nobody is safe. No age group, no parent, no teacher can be considered beyond the pale of suspicion. Never trust anyone. Arm your child with a warning, as I do, about the "piggy-men." One day my kid came rushing into the house. "Tatee, tatee," he called to me, " a piggy man came after me." We ran outside and the piggy man just made it to his car a few steps ahead of me. He never came back to my neighborhood.

One day a man called me: "I've got him," he exulted. "I found out about a molester and I'm going to call the police and fix him." I congratulated him, but also, told him the facts of life. The man was stunned. He could not believe it when I told him that a parent who calls the police can ruin his child and the lives of the parents, because the Family Courts with their secular feminist anti-religious social workers and therapists will take control of the child's mind and run the family. A few hours later, the phone ran. "I checked out what you said, and I thank you," the father said. If you have to go to the police, make sure you have a good lawyer and a good therapist; otherwise, they will do what they want. In some courts, a parent is at fault if a child is sick, and then, the parent is treated terribly, and forced to undergo therapy at great financial and emotional cost.

A prominent educator had a molested son. He called the police and they arrested the molester. The molester got a good lawyer, and a little boy is no match for a good lawyer. The man went free, and the boy and family live in pain and disgrace.

All of this is said not so we despair but to get us to improve the situation, and not let the family courts be controlled by those who despise parents and religion. There are plenty of molesters in the religious community, and we have to know how to deal with them. We have to be sensitive to the pain of the molester, and know that his soul is aflame with guilt, at least with a normal religious person. We must be sensitive to the family of the molester, and not ruin the reputations of the family members. We must be sensitive to the molested children, and to all of those who could be victims. We must be aware of the terror of ubiquitous threats to our children, because only in that is our salvation. We have to fight for our children, and keep our eyes open. When you think you have heard everything, then you and yours are in big trouble.
