I really don’t find that concern very valid in the grand scheme of things, knowing what I know about the UCMJ, the military justice system, our security clearances, the way priests are screened for active duty, and the general incident of crimes against children within our ranks (it’s well below the general population, I assure you).

I was also a tad offended by it, which is my issue and my problem, I would agree.

You can think my concern is silly, but you’re the one who posted it, so it leaves it wide open for further comment.

Pup, there are officers who have been prosecuted for pedophila. I don’t care who you are, it doesn’t matter. You don’t have to agree with my concern for what I do with my children. You and anyone else on here can think we have bars on our windows if you wish, you can assume they will be so naive if you wish. You are out of your. mind if you think you all know what’s better for my children. Since this question has been up and stale, you and many other have drawn conclusions about me and my kids as if you know us. I have already addressed this with better confessionals and I appreciate the early poster who agreed with me and my concern.
My husband is in acquisitions if you look at the 5x5 risk matrix of 5 consequence yet 1 likelihood it’s still moderate risk. You should understand this being USAF, it just so happens I was USAF, my parents and my husband parents. The consequence is still high, I’m not always willing to take a risk. But I have already addressed solutions to this VALID CONCERN!
 
Cajun, I go to confessions in a closed room. My kids probably would as teenagers or young adults.
 
Wrong. You have no idea what Pedophilia OCD is. It is not actual pedophilia. It is when a person with OCD starts fearing that they might be a pedophile (but they are not). They are disgusted and terrified by the idea and become terrified of even being around children for fear of intrusive thoughts. Please do not confuse OCD sufferers with sexual predators.

OCD is much broader and more debilitating than most realize. Of all the forms OCD takes, worries about becoming a pedophile may be the hardest to face.

I know that. I’ve sat on courts-martial and I’m an ex military cop.

But you cannot tar everyone with the same brush. No one can live that way.

Stats tell me I have a very high likelihood of being killed on I-5 any given day. Doesn’t stop me from driving on it. I learn how to navigate and anticipate the insanity of the other nuts on the road and I learn how to be more defensive behind the wheel. Same sort of thing.

There’s valid and then there’s rational. Something can assuredly be valid, but not rational.

Good day, and I hope you find peace - and I hope your children do as well.

Just to be clear, I have OCD. But I don’t have Pedophilia OCD. I am a parent and fortunately this is one area of my life my OCD hasn’t twisted or infected.

I am so disturbed by the idea that I am am posting this—I can’t even imagine how bad the shame and guilt are for a person who actually has pedophila OCD. I just know from the different varieties I have suffered from, like scrupulosity, how utterly crushing it must be. And the subject matter must cause such shame and guilt. Scrupulosity is terrible enough.

You are the one who doesn’t like how I operate. I’m not gambling with my children if my distrust offends someone, that’s okay you will live. That’s my peace with this. There is no peace in agreeing to live the way you think I should.
 
I didn’t tell you to live any way. I said there’s valid and then there’s rational.

I’m thinking you can relax a bit here.
