Scottish police use Minor Attracted Person instead of 'paedophile' in report

Chief Constable Iain Livingstone has used the acronym MAP (minor attracted Person) in an annual assessment of the force's work with a European project.

We've all wondered what the + is in LGB and TQIA+ haven't we? Well perhaps now we know. As the Telegraph says:

The term MAP is contentious because child abusers are trying to escape the stigma attached to paedophilia and maintain they should be regarded as a niche group alongside the LGBT community.

As a member of the LGB community I object. Archived link from the Telegraph:

And if Mumsnet are reading please don't zap this thread I don't want to have to revisit my "trauma" every time this shit crops up.

Boiled, what an insult to you!! How these feral shitheads get away with it, I don't know. I mean what other reason would he have images of CSA apart from to wank to?
Hairy Louse. It incenses me when beings (I cant even bring myself to say people) like this receive support from their so called community. How can anybody have any doubt of his depravity when he has been caught with that?!?

Boiledbeetle · 31/12/2022 21:25

@ClitoralViolence Oh I only found out about handsy happy GP with the hour long child abuse videos and over 25000 images, ffs, after it hit the press, it was, by all accounts, wasnt there so not sure of how his case all panned out kept rather quiet.

Wonder if the coverage and the sentence would have been the same if it was that dodgy unkempt bloke called Trevor the brickie with a cse in woodwork an IQ of 87 and no means of paying for a fancy solicitor

OmiOmy · 31/12/2022 21:28

Re-branding it as preference is vile & disgusting, and that is exactly what this is about. There's a real movement to try and make paedophilia acceptable and make paedophiles portrayed as poor misunderstood souls. There was that glowing review by I think NYT of a play that was sympathetic to paedophiles.

MAP is such a non-descript description. Also we don't use the term Minor in this country for children so would be meaningless and it doesn't make sense.

We know exactly where we are with the word paedophile. Even older (and some younger) children know what it means. That's all to the good.

I'd be checking the hard drives of all the people who wrote to support him.

Yep.

And all of the apologists here and elsewhere as well.

Boiledbeetle · 31/12/2022 20:53

@DustAndAshes guess which GP used to do my intimate examinatiins on teenage me.

I am so so angry he got the sentence he did. his patients and friends wrote letters of support for him. Te'll me his position in the community had nothing to do with his sentence. As far as I'm aware they actually stopped counting h ow many images he had because there was so many.

I'm so sorry. So sorry. I don't know what to say. The apologists here trying to manipulate everyone into feeling sorry for these abusive monsters are just compounding the trauma. 💐

Boiledbeetle · 31/12/2022 21:40

I have to live with the fact that my GP, the GP I told everything to, who knew there were photos of me out there, had all those photos. I wonder if he ever recognised me?

And they want to redefine the boundaries of what these people are called and what is acceptable or not or worth giving credence to.

Nah!

No THEY don't get to do that.

WE GET TO DEFINE THESE EVIL BASTARDS

And pedo, nonce, kiddly fiddler, perv, whatever.

Everyone knows exactly what sort of man is being described, and you wouldn't, if you had a good heart and safeguarding children at the front of your thoughts, want him even in the same postcode as your own child.

So why the hell make them more accessible to other people's children

NO. JUST FUCKING NO.

Boiledbeetle · 31/12/2022 21:43

Absolutely. And we have. And we won't be changing what we call them: paedophiles. Because that is what they are.

Ooohhhh, hey, this is cheaper than therapy and just as satisfying😁thank you for listening to me rant.

Anyone been brave enough to come back and post but but but yet?

You tell them what for. Your righteous anger made me well up.

I understand where you are coming from, and FWIW I think it's important to differentiate attraction to pre-pubescent children from what is really a biologically normal attraction to post-pubescent minors.

It's not "normal". It's fucking sick and if you'd been subjected to abuse at that age by one of these paedophiles you'd know that.

Excuse me, do we know each other IRL? I am wondering how it is that you know anything about my life.

Oh, wait, you know fuck all about it, you just somehow imagine that anyone who disagrees with you must be a bad person, a moron, or completely sheltered. That's BS.

Sexual attraction to a pre-pubescent child is not the same as sexual attraction to someone who has secondary sexual characteristics, which signal sexual fertility. We are animals, and these kinds of biological, embodies signals impact us. That's not abnormal or perverted. Even if it can be something that shouldn't be pursued for other reasons.

Boiledbeetle · 31/12/2022 21:43

I don't know.

Mine is men who are late 20s or older who prey on girls who are only just at the legal age for sex and the people who think that is ok, or a million miles away from the ones who are abusing 15 year olds. They are just as bad in my opinion.

Rather than lowering the bar of how we identify these paedophiles we should be raising it.

DustAndAshes · 31/12/2022 21:58

That's not abnormal or perverted.

Sexual attraction to children is peverted, and has a name: paediphilia.

You can pretend it's "normal" if you like but you're wrong. It's vile.

I didn't say I know anything about your life and nor do I want to. I simply find apologism for abusive predators abhorrent.

VioletLemon · 31/12/2022 21:59

Sturgeon is highly intelligent and perhaps the timing was intentional. At least that's my hope because otherwise I have to completely withdraw my support for her.

IcakethereforeIam · 31/12/2022 22:01

@VioletLemon erm, wrong thread?

DustAndAshes · 31/12/2022 22:02

And yes, I'm pretty sure you haven't been abused as a child by one of these monsters if you think it's "normal" for a grown man to be sexually attracted to a CHILD just because they have grown breasts. Disgusting.

DustAndAshes · 31/12/2022 22:07

Yeah. So fine for fully grown men to fuck 9 year olds then, right?. As long as they have tits.

Fucking hell.

DustAndAshes · 31/12/2022 22:12

So thoroughly depressing to be having to defend to definition of a paedophile at all, let alone on Mumsnet of all places. These toxic people tring to infiltrate everything and everywhere and normalise their perversions. It makes everything SO much worse for the victims, when we thought it couldn't get any worse than it is already.

Your third paragraph is chillingly matter of fact and scientific-sounding. I don’t think you have RTFT.
