The question you need to ask yourself is whether you believe that your brother is a bad person that has done a bad thing or whether he is a normally good person who has done a bad thing? Only you can decide. Although there is no excuse for what he has done, was there anything that caused him to go on this site in the first place and make the wrong choices ? X

Hi blue.

The reason why offenders carry out these horrible crimes is complex. It is not possible to paint them all with the same brush because there can a be a mix of 'triggers' that lead them down this horrible path. I recommend contacting Lucy faithful to see if you would consider the inform course for family and friends. It is for free and provides all the info needed on what studies have found to try to help you make some sense of it. If you don't want a course LF can suggest web sources.

Some people start with porn addiction. Needing a greater thrill but lose sense of reality and I guess morality. It doesn't not always mean they have a sexual preference to children (it can be a bit of a head scratcher). There will be those who a genuinely attracted to children. Others may have the additional need for attention (my partner was on chat rooms posing as a mix of other people to escape reality and get attention. He stupidly realised he would be more successful if posing as young pretty late teens).

You may need to have more of a discussion with your brother to see if he has had help to identify why he offended. If he hasn't already I recommend he seeks professional help, LF for example, to be able to rehabilitate. My partner did the inform course for offenders and it helped him so much.
