Now the Netherlands get drawn into the crime row, too. German media quoted NRC Handelsblad and reported the systematic abuse of blind children in a school for blind kids - partially even in the classroom, because the others obviously could not see what was being done to the victims. The six involved priests are all already dead.

It is the third surch revelation in Holland within just a few days.

Pedophilia always is a perversion, but in this case it is especially perverse and evil.

As a former clinical psychologist I want to remind you that there is no known "cure" for pedophilia. You can eventually control the situations in which the perpetrator could meet a victim, nevertheless the sexual stimulus, the drive motivating him and controlling him, is beyond reach. This makes suspended court sentences and any positive social prognosis a totally uncomprehensible justice scandal, and it makes mockery of the victims of this kind of crime. This also means that the offender is unavailable for "change by penalty", so even if you subscribe to the opinion of some peoploe that these people are sick (they are) and cannot be punished therefore, nevertheless they must be locked away for sure, I have no doubt. the interest and the protection of the community has uncompromised priority here.

I spoke about such things earlier this month with a friend who still works in the psychological sector, and sometimes at court. He suffers from heavy resignation over seeing how mindlessly and irresponsibly many courts act when suspending penalties or deciding against preventive detention over some oh so socially sensible excuses.

Courts are not too sensitive over the interests of the victims, and too often so. We have plenty of soldiarity and show much interest for the history of the perpetrators. Victims we just leave behind. and much suffering takes place for that reason - silently, and in the hidden, often a life long.

I know why I quite psychology. And having had repeated bad experiences with "justice" myself, I also know why I do not trust the law. Our law system is a perversion in itself.
