Title ''Bad touch'' (pedophilia) – the stolen innocence of a child.The analysis of the phenomenon and the forms of aid offered to pedophiles' victims in Poland
 
Creator Adamczyk, Barbara
 
Subject LB Theory and practice of education
 
Description Pedophilia is a deviant form of hurting children which is growing worldwide and in Poland. From a social
perspective, it is a kind of sexual deviation, as it destroys the child's dignity and innocence, leaving irrevocable
psychological and physical damage in its wake. Victims of sexual abuse experience disgrace, shame and fear;
they hide in the shadow of their tragedy and build a wall of silence, which separates them from normal
functioning in a society. That is why pedophilia will never be socially approved, and each instance of child
sexual abuse is stigmatized in mass media.
The aim of the article is to analyze subject literature devoted to pedophilia and the forms of support offered to its
victims in Poland. Scientific considerations devoted to the ethiopathogenesis of pedophilia, its traumatic
consequences for the victim and preventive and correctional measures contribute both to a public discussion and
to pedagogical practices.
Three areas are recommended: 1) an integrated system of preventive activities aimed at protection of children
and teenagers against pedophiles' acts, 2) development and implementation of a national preventive programme
in this area for students of primary, junior and high schools, and 3) systematic workshops for teachers and
parents directed at preventive measures.
