Yes -how does the pro-homosexual APA answer this?

WOW! That's an eye opener! The article doesn't say what criminal charges are brought against these pedophiles. How many are put in Jail? How many are put on pedophile registration lists?

[Tax-chick]

The DCFS information shows that 69% of sexual abuse by mothers was of their foster or subsidized-adoptive daughters. In contrast, 14% of the sexual abuse by fathers was of their foster or subsidized-adoptive sons.

These numbers (along with all the others) are a little puzzling. Are they saying that all these same-sex abusers were identified as homosexual before the children were placed with them? And what about the 31% of women abusers who sexually abused boys ... ordinary pedophiles, or male-hating lesbians? And the 86% of male abusers who abused girls?

It sounds to me like the agencies need to completely revamp their screening and monitoring procedures. Homosexuality is only a little piece of the problem.

[ClearCase_guy]

Hmmmmmm. 2% of the population commits 34% of the child-sexual abuse. That's disproportionate.

“These new Illinois findings also suggest that a child’s risk of being molested is considerably higher when their parent engages in homosexuality,” according to Cameron."

It sounds like the above statement implies that the parents were homosexual, but didn't come right out and say the children were placed knowingly with homosexual couples. What are the rules in Illinois?

I'd like to see the results based on whether the child was placed with straight or homosexual foster parents. Where the children put in danger for the sake of political correctness?

[GovernmentShrinker]

What evidence? That in a foster care system with huge numbers of single foster parents, and where most foster children placed with a single parent are placed with one of the same sex, 34% of molestation cases are homosexual? Duh! 100% of molestation cases in the Boy Scouts are homosexual, but by the same logic, this has nothing to do with the fact that all troop leaders and all scouts are male.

Just imagine the outcry if this foster care system was placing young girls with single fathers. Everyone would be appalled, because statistically the propensity for male-on-female molestation is huge. And given the recent rash of female teachers antics involving male students (not to mention the well-documented need of boys for a father figure), putting adolescent or teenage boys with single mothers wouldn't be such a hot idea either.

Funny how the people claiming this is evidence of homosexuals' disproportionate propensity to molest children, don't care to provide any statistics about what percentage of the homes in the overall sample involved a single parent with only same sex foster children.

[Obadiah]

In 2004, DCFS Spokesman Marjorie Newman told IllinoisLeader.com that DCFS does not "discriminate based on gender, race, sexual orientation, sexual preference. There is no law that says that a gay or lesbian person cannot adopt."

“These new Illinois findings also suggest that a child’s risk of being molested is considerably higher when their parent engages in homosexuality,” according to Cameron.

The people making these rules and applying them are just as guilty as those who are physically perpetrating these acts upon these children.

May God judge them equally for surrendering these defenseless ones into the awaiting arms of preditors.

Yes I can see now where gay adoption has no worries involved. "Nothing to see here, move along now"

Nobody is saying all homosexuals commit child abuse, but the numbers are definitely disproportionate.

Yes -how does the pro-homosexual APA answer this?

The 34% mirrors the Freund, Watson 1992 study.

[wideminded]

What’s shocking, is that 34% of the molestations were homosexual.”

The DCFS information shows that 69% of sexual abuse by mothers was of their foster or subsidized-adoptive daughters. In contrast, 14% of the sexual abuse by fathers was of their foster or subsidized-adoptive sons.

These figures lead to some interesting conclusions:

F = # of acts of sexual abuse committed by fathers.

M = # of acts of sexual abuse committed by mothers.

H = # of acts of sexual abuse that are homosexual = .0.14 F + 0.69 M

T = total number of acts of sexual abuse = M + F

h = fraction of acts of abuse that are homosexual = 0.34 = H/T = (0.14 F + 0.69M)/(M + F)

=> F = 1.75 M

So men commit 75% more total acts of sexual abuse against the foster kids than women, but what about the homosexual acts of abuse?

f = fraction of acts of sexual abuse that are homosexual in nature and committed by fathers = 0.14 F / h

= (0.14 x 1.75 M)/(0.14 x 1.75 M + 0.69 M)

= 0.245 M / 0.935 M

= 0.26

m = fraction of acts of sexual abuse that are homosexual in nature and committed by mothers = 1 - f = 0.74

=> Mothers commit 2.84 times as many homosexual acts of abuse (0.74/0.26) as fathers.

In other words either there are a huge number of abusive lesbian foster mothers, or the figures quoted in the article are wrong.

"The DCFS information shows that 69% of sexual abuse by mothers was of their foster or subsidized-adoptive daughters. In contrast, 14% of the sexual abuse by fathers was of their foster or subsidized-adoptive sons.

“These new Illinois findings also suggest that a child’s risk of being molested is considerably higher when their parent engages in homosexuality,” according to Cameron."

Actually it shows that the child's risk of being molested is considerably higher if the child is female. Perhaps girls should be placed in orphanages where there are not so many adults around to molest them?

[Antoninus]

“It is likely that these rates apply to the nation’s estimated half million foster children,” he said. “What’s shocking, is that 34% of the molestations were homosexual.”

Actually, I think that rate jives with figures I've seen on molestation in general....

Yeah, APA, keep trying to tell us that homosexuality is "perfectly normal." Perhaps this is why the same APA is now trying to convince themselves that pedophilia is perfectly normal too.

[Proud2BeRight]

I find none of this surprising and fully expect the MSM to IGNORE it.

[KC_Conspirator]

Despite their claims, none of what the APA votes on or approves is based on sound science or study. Its all leftist ideology at the social level.

[sweetliberty]

The obvious solution is to recognize that having sex with children is a matter of personal preference and therefore should be afforded Constitutional protection. < /sarcasm >
