In any state, the level of corruption of the government, media and police are the three biggest indicators of how deeply a country is in trouble. Western society is in deep, deep trouble. This article “China May Be Too Right-Wing for American Leftists” highlights how low the West has sunk.
Amid trans activist attempts at grooming children, now comes word that police in Scotland are taking a soft stand on pedophilia, referencing pedophiles as “minor attracted people.” They are perverted criminals, from whom children need protection. Any police officials who view them as anything else are in the wrong job. A Scottish Conservative spokesman stated rightly: “Imagine if the police normalised rape or murder by rebranding them similarly.”
The hard Left has already been busy selling the idea that to oppose the grooming of kids is to be anti-gay and anti-trans. The organization Gays Against Groomers defines itself as “a coalition of gays against the sexualization, indoctrination and medicalization of children.” But such organizations are often ignored by the activist media, which instead further the agenda of hard-Left ideologues.
The once collective effort to act “in the best interest of the child” is rapidly dying in Western society. Those who support the term “minor attracted people” are casting a spotlight on their own mindset and/or their own activities. The reference by some police in Scotland is and should be alarming. Let’s hope there is followup.
“Police Scotland slammed for describing paedophiles as ‘minor-attracted people’ in major report as critics warn the phrase risks normalising child abuse,” by Lauren Haughey, MailOnline, December 31, 2022:
Police Scotland has been slammed for describing paedophiles as ‘minor-attracted people’ in a crucial report, raising concerns of softening language around child abuse.
The document, which assessed the force’s performance during the past year, outlined that Police Scotland has been working to support a European project in order to ‘counter the effects of child sexual exploitation’.
In reference to this project, the report read: ‘This project’s main agenda is to develop understanding and approach to avoid the victimisation of children by engaging Minor-Attracted People (MAPs) and provide them with the necessary support, treatment and guidance to help prevent criminal activities.’
A Scottish Conservative spokesman told MailOnline that many would find language used to neutralise sexual preference for children ‘deeply disturbing and wrong’.
They said: ‘Offences relating to paedophilia are among the most appalling and unforgiveable crimes anyone can commit, and it’s essential that Police Scotland guidance reflects this.
‘Most Scots will find any attempt to soften the language around paedophilia in official guidance to be deeply disturbing and wrong.’
Children’s campaign group UsForThem Scotland also said it was ‘horrified’ by the idea that paedophiles were ‘being rebranded as MAPs’.
A spokesman said: ‘We are seeing ongoing concerning issues relating to child protection both inside and outside school.
‘This is not an acceptable phrase. We should never normalise paedophilia.
‘Imagine if the police normalised rape or murder by rebranding them similarly.’ …

These are not the only ones making such an attempt to make rape of a child just another “lifestyle” choice. Glenn Beck reported that 7,000 perps who had committed rape of a child, sexual assault of a child, repeated assault of a child, etc., being released from prison before they had even served a year …in California.
If the rape of an adult is a crime, then so much more should the rape of a child be considered as the putrid crime that it is.
Alcoholics are expected to refrain from drinking. If one drinks and drives, it is a crime, even if no one is injured.
Those who have perverted lusts, lusts toward children, should be expected to refrain from carrying out their demonic lusts. If they do not, this should be prosecuted and they should wear the label of one who has raped or sexually assaulted/abused a child or children. The label should not make an excuse for their evil behavior.

The woke brigade certainly do like to tip toe around the truth and damage and distort the English language in the process.This is a surprising development although I suppose I should not be surprised by any of this use of politically correct language by now. There must be a bunch of wankers sitting around somewhere coming up with ways to torture the English language in all sorts of different ways and this is just their latest piece of woke nonsense.

Nothing annoys me more than glossing over evil in this way. Call them out for what they really are.
Paedophiles are paedophiles they are not “minor attracted people”.
Gang rapists are gang rapists they are not “grooming gangs.”
And jihadis are jihadis just doing what islam commands of them, they are not terrorists.
We all know that paedophilia, rape and murder are normative islamic practices, so is this just another effort to appease our new guests..

correct. they should have read “a rose is still a rose,” still has the same sweet odor, no matter what name it is given.
Those who rape children are those who rape children. the act….and foul odor…are the same.

I know what I call them and I also know what I will do to them if I catch them doing anything near any of my kids or any kids.
No Police involved
