<p>^^^ not a problem.</p>
<p>Curiosity and confusion at this age is not atypical, and seeking out a chaplin is certainly a viable option. Not sure where the “line” gets crossed- 1 pic, 2 pics- one could argue “curiosity.” 1000+ pictures goes beyond curosity, and I would submit represents a much deeper problem.</p>
<p>Again, not knowing anything of the facts other than what was reported- but seem to recall reading somewhere that he [and I am paraphrasing here] knew he had a problem but did not know where to turn. If that were the case, then that is sad. However, if what was reported was true- that he was downloading since NAPS- then one would think there was more than enough time to try and seek help on and off the yard- if, in fact, help is what was wanted- and I am of the belief that where there is a will, there is a way.</p>
<p>Again, the chaplins are wonderful- and no doubt could certainly get this kid connected with the help that is needed. However, as the research shows, addiction to child porn is not easily remedied- and the overwhelming majority of cases “treated” end up being repeat offenders. Again, this does not speak to the current case, but the odds are not in favor of sustained rehab- even with years of therapy- and that would, IMO, be beyond the scope of the chaplins. Thus, I don’t know of any other solution that could be justified ethically, aside from seperation at a minimum. Not sure I agree that “jail time” fixes anything- that is a whole other discussion- but seperation- definately.</p>
