Pedophilia
All human beings regardless of age need love and affection in order to survive, infants more so. This is a
medical fact.

On a regular basis, if not daily, we all experiences examples in our surroundings of people who didn't get
enough attention as infants and/or as children and who now as adults do what ever they can to get
attention from those they come in contact with. Many of these people we can describe as being
“obsessed” with getting attention.

Another proven fact is that an infants greatest fear is that of abandonment. An infant lacks the reasoning
capacity to understand why someone isn't attending to their needs, all they know is that they've been
abandoned and this is terrifying as well as mentally and emotionally traumatic for the infant.

An infant that is left to CIO and experience this terror and mental and emotional trauma can develop an
obsession, which is made up of both desire and resistance, with “being touched as a child.” This
obsession can lead an infant to develop the belief that this obsession, which has been born out of
neglect, is actually a form of love. This is an attempt by the infants mind to control an uncontrollable
situation

When the child reaches puberty, this obsession becomes sexual and now a partner is sought. The
problem is the original obsession, “being touched as a child,” has never gone away as it takes personal
development and internal work to rid oneself of an obsession and the vast majority of people don't start
this kind of work until they become adults.

Because of this obsession of “being touched as a child” the person now seeks a child as a sexual
partner (Pedophilia) in an attempt to satisfy their own needs and believe they are satisfying the needs (I.E.
the need for love) of the child.
