" You should learn to control "

Abstract

TIME: Last week, the alleged murderer of nine?year Mitja was made in Leipzig, after he had thrown himself in front of a tram and was seriously injured. They treat the Charité men with a pedophilic inclination. Talk to them about this case? Klaus Beier: Yes, the talks revolve around it. And the reactions of the men are just like any other well to listen to them: You are horrified and rain on how this could happen. It is interesting that offenders who have themselves sexually abused a child, want as clearly distance themselves from those who have committed a serious crime. TIME: What is a serious crime? Beier: differences in the sequence of events leading to varying degrees of trauma on the victim. If a child, for example, met a exhibitionist, so there is no physical contact, and can tell his parents about it afterwards, it will be able to handle the relatively well. Fatal already is, when an acquaintance, for example, a teacher or a football coach, touching the child even without this resulting in penetration and without the use of physical violence. Very serious is a violent enforcement of the act. Especially bad for the child but it is always when it can confide in anyone. If the mother, for example, does not believe him and thus protects the perpetrators. TIME: you have in your therapy project also convicted sex offenders. Beier: Yes, but that they are included, they must have fully served their sentences. If someone was released, for example, on probation, or is determined against him and could face a criminal case, we do not take it. TIME: Why? Beier: Because we do not know whether he has really reported on their own initiative with us. Especially in investigations it may be that the displayed appease especially their environment and show friends or family want: I do yes to my problem. Some who get in touch with us, also just a resourceful defender who advises his clients to come to us because of the benefits it might bring to the court. The initiative is decisive for the success of the therapy.
