Pedophilia: A Cause and A Cure

After suffering physical, emotional and sexual abuse, he runs away and lives on the streets of Philadelphia. His survival techniques could serve as an operating manual for today's runaways. A product of a dysfunctional family and not having any bonding in infancy, he predictably has little success with relationships in the USAF or in employment. Nevertheless with this handicap he starts a weekly newspaper in a small northern California town and vents his anger while taking on the establishment. Believing the pen is mightier than the sword, he conducts his battles while attending law school and working as a conductor on the railroad. Steve reveals his deepest secrets for a very personal reason and discusses a despicable crime for which he has to learn survival once again in Folsom State prison, the most violent US prison in the 1980s. In his final chapters of his life he does experience both solid relationships and love which turn his life around completely. With his unbelievable autobiography, Steve, at the age of seventy one, offers the experts and authorities profound messages dealing with child abuse. This writing should encourage psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers and law enforcement take notice. His decade's long search finds his answers to two of society's most pressing questions regarding a cause of and a cure for pedophilia. He offers these answers with his 377 page narrative of his life. A Christian reader might consider Steve's life story to be a lengthy confession of sins only the Son of God could forgive.
