Incredible! Not much more to say really.

" Berlin authorities placed children with pedophiles for 30 years

The ‘Kentler Project’ in West Berlin routinely placed homeless children with pedophile men, assuming they’d make ideal foster parents. A study has found the practice went on for decades."

IMO one lesson is that society tends to blindly trust academic leaders.

I think it’s that many people, who really ought to know better, often just don’t want to know/think about (or turn a blind eye towards) inconvenient issues and troubled adolescents have a strong tendency towards inconvenience.

This is just disgusting but predictable. Pedophiles for years have tried to legitimize their behavior… Liberals who think they can change things. The believe as long as the child has hot food, good clothes and a trip to Disneyworld, nothing else matters, and certainly are not concerned with the destruction of a child’s mind and soul.

The second article differentiates between the Kettler experiment and ongoing abuse at a reform school run by a pedophile. It doesn’t seem like the experiment lasted 30 years.

Poor kids, victimized twice.

Articles like this make me want to stay in lockdown and continue social distancing until the kids are all over 21.
