I have spoken to y'all about the importance of education in earlier posts. Recently I received a couple of responses that indicated a trend toward the thought that education would not stop someone from offending. Wanted to explain some of my thoughts. First let me say that at the time that I offended, I knew that what I was doing was wrong. I knew it was against the law; I knew that it was something that was morally wrong; I had even read books where the outcome of this type of abuse created homicidal maniacs. So why did I do it? Did I just say, "so what"? Did I just not care enough?
The Fact is that my mind could not comprehend all of the consequences. All I had was my own experiences. Maybe I am fooling myself to think education would have stopped then. I know that it has been education that has ensured that if I am ever allowed another chance at freedom, I will never hurt anyone again. I’d like to hear what you think about this one. Would education help? Or do you think that nothing can be done, that we, sex offenders, cannot live normal lives? If so, why? What is that conclusion based on?
