I'm saddened and disgusted by the number of television personalities who have been investigated and charged with crimes against children. To my mind, no punishment is severe enough for a pedophile, who preys on the innocence of children and leaves them with trauma which will last their whole life long.

Just the other day, a Coronation Street star was arrested for the alleged rape of a 15-year-old girl in 1967. Writers for the soap have changed the proposed plot so it will not include him. I had respected this actor, with his gentle voice and speeches about love governing all. He led a spiritual group in the Pure Love movement. He'd written a book about asking the universe for what you wanted and it would beam back to you. The controversial actor said the stars arrested in the wake of a pedophile scandal had been pilloried. Earlier, he'd claimed to have slept with 1,000 women.

There have been many cases where a convicted man has been released after their court case was overturned. Although nobody is guilty until proven so, from now on, I'll step back from admiring any public figure. It seems their status has gone to their head and they think they can do whatever they like.

What sort of memories do these men harbor?


Picture
Lately, I've heard people refer to our memories as snippets which form our lives. No doubt, people who lose their memory from accident or from dementia sever a connection to their past and can't respond in an appropriate way to those who love them. Yet, underneath, they are the same person.

There must be more of us than our memories. As babies, our parents or carers taught us how to behave, instilled values and gave us a place in life. However, each child is born with their own personality. Siblings raised exactly the same way, behave differently to certain situations. One child may be loving and agreeable, while another will have a tantrum when faced with change. Therefore, we are born with our own traits, which I believe comes from previous lives.

How else could you explain a child prodigy? I'd love to hear your reasoning.

I've often wondered how a hardened criminal would behave without a memory—or even a pedophile. With past behavior wiped out, would they still want to commit violent or sexual crimes? This is great subject matter for novels.

Bad isn't it! It seems like a lot of these cases had been 'swept under the carpet' and have only been heightened/ brought up because of the 'Jimmy Saville' case. I respected him too until now!

I feel so distraught for all the children.

Francene,
maybe a good subject for novels, but not one I'd want to read. Crimes against children--I've always thought there would be an extra-horrid area of hell for people who do these things. Interesting post, Francene, as always.

I read a book on the ronowned seer Edgar Cayce where he mentioned layers of the afterlife. The very bottom ones contained that sort of evil person.

The whole nature vs nurture argument comes up a lot when it comes to the raising of children.

Personally, regardless of what memories may have created creatures such as pedophiles (and yes I mean creatures because to me they are monster not human), they shouldn't be allowed back into society regardless of "good behaviour" etc.

I totally agree. This crime is not redeemable, nor, apparently, curable.
