Canadian Age of Consent Law to Sexual Activity - Explanation. 

Car Ban Proposed for Convicted Sex Offenders; DwWorld, 17 October 2006 
A senior member of the CDU [Christian Democratic Union] wants to introduce new legislation designed to reduce the number of sex offenses committed in Germany. This would include preventing offenders released from jail from owning a car.

Carey, Benedict, What's Taught, What's Not, Los Angeles Times, June 3, 2002.
With church scandals, Internet porn and teenage romance, sex education could be one of the most wide-ranging and important subjects taught in middle and high school, some child psychologists say. Yet for better or worse, most of the nation's sex-ed classes focus on a handful of subjects -- including anatomy, abstinence, AIDS -- and offer little guidance to boys and girls trying to cope with a host of physical and emotional changes

Carrollingian, Understanding Paedophilia for the Law, 2002.
I am writing you this essay with a vain hope. In the last 25 years nearly nothing has been allowed in the way of increasing awareness amongst professionals and the public alike on the subject of paedophilia. I am afraid that paedophilia is at present grossly misunderstood, and as a result the laws of this country and those of the western world are grossly ill-equipped to deal with reality. My hope is that your reading this will help me in my quest to create more appropriate legislation to protect minority groups at risk.

Castles, Simon, The bogeyman myth; In seeking to protect our children from pedophiles, we are also, sadly, undermining the healthy bonds between men and children; The Age ( Australia ), July 8, 2007  
There is a terrible paradox here. Good men are staying away from supervising children for fear of how they will be perceived, and yet at the same time many parents - and particularly single mothers - desperately want their children, especially their sons, to be exposed to good male role models.

Chauhan, Chetan,  Goverment to consider allowing consensual sex among children; Hindustan Times, New Delhi, April 26, 2007 
Prompted by a finding in a government study that a certain number of young children have sex or engage in sexual activity for experimenting, the government is examining the possibility of exempting consensual sex between them from the purview of a criminal offence. [...]
What has apparently prompted the ministry to consider the option is a finding where 26.8 per cent young adults recalled having sexual experience during childhood and majority stating it was with friends and classmates and they were not in an abusive situation. 

Ciavaglia, Jo, Double standard seen in sex cases; Bucks County Courier Times, June 15, 2008

Citizens Reform Group is an unincorporated nonprofit association (California registration #10030) which promotes and advocates the protection of RSOs (registered sex offenders) civil rights throughout California. We will expand to other states as resources permit. 

Claydon, Russell, Paedophile had 'no-one to turn to'; eadt.co.uk, 22 April 2008 
A paedophile who ran a global child abuse network from his parent's Suffolk farmhouse has claimed he had no-one to turn to with his problems.

Clements, David, Every Child Matters - but so does our privacy; We must not accept state intrusion in our private lives in the name of children's 'well-being'. spiked-online, 16 October 2006 - Speech at the debate Does Every Child really Matter - has the abuse panic gone too far?, at the Battle of Ideas festival in London on Sunday 29 October 2006. 
Under the Blair government's Every Child Matters reforms, local authorities and other agencies working with children are required to protect children under a new duty to 'safeguard' them and promote their welfare, to work together more closely and share information, and by creating new high-powered posts to oversee children's services. However, these reforms are not so much the antidote to child abuse panics, as implicated in them.

Cliss, Sarah, 'Hate Campaign has made me prisoner of my own home'; Fenland Citizen (UK), 30 April 2008 
A Wisbech man's life is being made a living hell thanks to an on-going hate campaign which has seen him branded a paedophile. The 48-year-old factory worker, from Wilberforce Road, is facing losing his job as a result. [...] But in fact Mr Pooley has never been in trouble with the police and has no criminal convictions. And his only involvement with police has been over the hate campaign.

Cloud, John, Pedophilia; Time Magazine, April 29, 2002
Why do some people want to touch kids? What can we do about it? What happens to the victims? Everything you always wanted to know about one of society's worst taboos — but were too angry to ask.

A woman who married the 15-year-old friend of one of her sons pleaded guilty Wednesday to statutory rape and was sentenced to nine months in jail. [..]

Cohen, Lurie B., The Polygraph Paradox; Lie detectors aren't perfect. But, convicted sex offenders concede, they may be good enough; online.wsj.com, March 22, 2008
Polygraphy, the attempt to ferret out deception by monitoring changes in subjects' breathing, sweating or pulse, has long been derided as "voodoo science." Confessions made under polygraph aren't admitted as evidence in a vast majority of U.S. courts without the consent of the accused. The National Academy of Sciences says the technology isn't accurate enough to be used for employee security screening. Yet polygraph use is at the highest level in two decades.

Comiteau, Lauren, Why Dutch Kids are Happier Than Yours; July 11, 2007 
Dutch children are the happiest children in the industrialized world. Don't take my word for it, that was the finding of an extensive survey in UNICEF's Report Card 7.
The U.S. by contrast finished second to last ahead of Britain.
So, what's the secret of Dutch happiness?

Constantine, Larry L. The sexual rights of children: implications of a radical perspective, Presented at the International Conference on Love and Attraction, University College, Swansea, Wales, September 1977. Reprinted from M. Cook and G. Wilson (Eds.), Love and Attraction, Oxford: Pergamon, 1979
THE sexuality of children has been discussed in the literature from many viewpoints, but rarely have the sexual rights of children been seriously considered. Certainly it has been firmly established and, at least among professionals, widely accepted that children are sexual beings from birth. Yet it is common to grant that children are sexual while denying them the right to behave sexually. 
Consideration of the sexual rights of children requires rethinking already convoluted issues, such as sexual activity of children with adults; incest; and pornography. 
This chapter is an attempt to put these issues into thoughtful perspective. 

CounterPunch, Scapegoats and Shunning; Sexual Fascism in Progressive America, by "PARIAH", March 4 / 5, 2006
There is a class of people in America today, numbering two million or more, who have been utterly scapegoated, ostracized, demonized and shunned. [...] 
About 600,000 of them have been rounded up and forced to register -- many soon to be monitored for life with electronic bracelets and global positioning devices. Nearly 4000 have been locked up for life, not on criminal charges, but by civil commitment, and those numbers are growing by the day. The remainder are mostly in hiding, desperately afraid of sudden exposure and witch hunts by neighbors, fellow-workers and friends, whom they fear will suddenly see them as monsters beyond redemption. 

Countess in jail for loving... minors, in: Vendetta, 28 April 1976, 
Two boys from Naples, Almerigo and Mario, aged 12 and 11 respectively, thought that what had happened to them was a tender secret that they should keep deep in their hearts, although at the same time, they were dying to cry it out to the whole world... Of course, eventually, they couldn't resist the temptation to tell their classmates, so as to prove that in spite of their tender age, they had already become 'men'. That is, they had made love with a woman. And some woman! A beautiful lady, aged 30, married and moreover, a countess!

Crary, David, Rethinking Sex Offender Laws a Tough Sell;  The Associated Press, April 19 2006 
The killings of two men listed on Maine's Internet sex offender registry may offer a grim lesson about the consequences of such registry laws, but defense lawyers and crime researchers question whether a thoughtful national debate on the subject is possible.

Crusader, Interview With a Teen Gay Activist, GLB-News, 12 April 2000
He may have recently celebrated his 16th birthday, but Anthony Colin definitely does not fit the "wet-behind-the-ears" label I often tolerated when I was his age. For those of you just tuning in, Anthony is founder of the Gay Straight Alliance club at El Modena HighSchool in Orange, California, an area of the state that is so staunchly conservative that it would take me hours (or perhaps days) to prepare a time line of the events that have lead to its reputation.

Cruz, Bonna de la, Sex abuse of boys not only trait duo share; Like Mary Kay Letourneau, Tennessee woman risks all for relationship with victim; Dicksonherald.com, 5 July 2006 
As well as the blonde hair and the 13-year-old victim, the Tennessee former teacher [Pamela Rogers] convicted of sleeping with a student has much in common with the most famous teacher caught in a sex scandal — Mary Kay Letourneau of Seattle. 
Troubled marriages. Child-like behavior. Larger-than-life father figures. And most of all, a recklessness to continue the relationship when courts have told them not to.

The Center for Sex Offender Management, the Office of Justice Programs (OJP), U.S. Department of Justice
