As a retired Kindergarten teacher (NYC public schools) who did have to make a couple of those calls to child protective services after a student confided in me, I find these child sexual molesters odious and abhorrent. Just take care of yourself, Andrew, while you shine a spotlight on their crimes. It takes a toll. I know.
I watched that very disturbing video. I have to say I don't know how you restrained yourself from showing utter contempt, or just pounding the guy into oblivion.
It’s particularly difficult to talk to people most of us think of as evil without showing your abhorrence. You know the audience would be on your side, but you would lose the cooperation of the interviewee. Well done for maintaining the appropriate detachment. We can judge these people for ourselves. I have some experience in the field having reported on a few news items on TV back in the 80s with Ray Wyre, who ran the world’s first residential centre for sex offenders. He’d worked with some of Britain’s most evil criminals, including Reggie Kray and the triple child killer Robert Black. His was a revolutionary approach too, and the residents at the centres he established were not granted anonymity or immunity and were dealt with within the UK legal framework. But of course there was a strong outbreak of nimbyism when people living near the centres realised so many paedophiles were under one roof. So they closed. Ray Wyre died of a stroke at the ridiculously young age of 56, but his work is worth googling. I think it was probably more verifiable and successful than the German approach.

Keep showing evil for what it is--evil! Keep going--it's not for nothing but rather for what is good.
You hold your family and loved ones close. Look after your heart. God Bless.
From a Mum who has sensitive boys like you. Give your mum a hug, she held your heart in her hands and nurtured it
