Berlin authorities placed children with pedophiles for 30 years

by Didgee Sun Aug 16, 2020 9:55 am

The 'Kentler Project' in West Berlin routinely placed homeless children with pedophile men, assuming they'd make ideal foster parents. A study has found the practice went on for decades

Starting in the 1970s psychology professor Helmut Kentler conducted his "experiment." Homeless children in West Berlin were intentionally placed with pedophile men. These men would make especially loving foster parents, Kentler argued.

A study conducted by the University of Hildesheim has found that authorities in Berlin condoned this practice for almost 30 years. The pedophile foster fathers even received a regular care allowance.

Helmut Kentler (1928-2008) was in a leading position at Berlin's center for educational research. He was convinced that sexual contact between adults and children was harmless.

Berlin's child welfare offices and the governing Senate turned a blind eye or even approved of the placements.

Several years ago two of the victims came forward and told their story, since then the researchers at Hildesheim University have plowed through files and conducted interviews.

What they found was a "network across educational institutions," the state youth welfare office and the Berlin Senate, in which pedophilia was "accepted, supported, defended."

Kentler himself was in regular contact with the children and their foster fathers. He was never prosecuted: By the time his victims came forward, the statute of limitations for his actions had expired. This has also thus far prevented the victims from getting any compensation.

The researchers found that several of the foster fathers were high-profile academics. They speak of a network that included high-ranking members of the Max Planck Institute, Berlin's Free University, and the notorious Odenwald School in Hesse, West Germany, which was at the center of a major pedophilia scandal several years ago. It has since been closed down.

Berlin's senator for youth and children, Sandra Scheeres called the findings "shocking and horrifying."

A first report on the "Kentler experiment" was published in 2016 by the University of Göttingen. The researchers then stated that the Berlin Senate seemed to lack interest in finding out the truth.

Now Berlin authorities have vowed to shed light on the matter.

Utterly disgraceful. How many more children have been victims to abuse here?

Some things are just unbelievable, this is one of them.

This is what happens when homosexual peados are put into positions of power, and where political correctness allows it by stamping down on any questioning and/or criticism of these type of policies.

These has been cases here in UK where lefty peado loving councils have placed children with peadophiles... And of course let's not forget the huge numbers of cases of children in care facing regular abuse from their carers and the vast number of children being abused by huge gangs of Pakistani Muslim peados, and the subsequent cover up by councils/police and other authorities!

Tommy, I couldn't agree more with your last paragraph.

The first paragraph is misleading. Homosexuals are no more likely to be paedophiles than heterosexuals and your second paragraph proves that.

Boys were victims too...

But I was referring more to my general point about councils/police/authorities being complicit, and the imposition of politically correct ideals that enable wrongdoing by certain groups...

Fundamentally, homosexuality is a deviant sexual practice and same sex attraction is not the normal natural way of things, ergo it is an example of where something has gone wrong...

Adoptive children should not be forced into being brought up by homosexuals in such an unnatural environment whereby they are deliberately denied the normal and natural mother and father structure in their lives...

As a sexually deviant practice, it should not be promoted in schools in any way... Section 28 was a good thing in preventing the promotion of homosexuality to children...

I think a marriage is between a man and a woman.

However... it is up to individuals what they choose to do with other consenting adults behind closed doors... None of my business... I do not want or need to know...

First of all homosexuality is a sexual orientation, not a practice

Your first error

So what sexual acts are deviant acts that only homosexuals engage in as two consenting adults?

Lets go through the list

Oral sex?

Heterosexual, homosexuals and bisexuals, engage in this

How about masturbating a partner?

Heterosexual, homosexuals and bisexuals, engage in this

How about anal sex?

Heterosexual, homosexuals and bisexuals, engage in this

If you think the above sexual acts are deviant

Then you must think the Heterosexual, homosexuals and bisexuals,are deviant

Hence the ridiculousness of your claim debunked

Your next assertion about normality

Its completely normal and many people marry, whether gay or heterosexual or bisexual. None of which has any effect on your life

So this claim is also debunked

As to adopting children?

All studies shows gay parents raise children as well as straight couple parents

Hence that claims is debunked

So, it was just an illicit network?

Attraction and sexual interaction between members of the opposite sex is the normal and natural way of things... it is not normal or natural for this to be between those of the same sex... therefore sexually deviant...

Being gay is unusual in that it occurs in about 1 out of 20 or 30 people, depending on who you ask. That doesn't make it unnatural. Tommy appears to be conflating unusual with unnatural.

Having a 3rd nipple is unusual, but its quite natural.

Denial is not an answer, tommy. A rational person has a reason for his/her position.

Homosexuality, though less frequent, appears as constantly and regularly in populations no matter the era, no matter the species. The contemporary era appears to began in 10,500 BC, and throughout all of that time homosexuality has existed. Socrates was one, as was Hawthorn, Edward II was one, as is Pete Buttigieg. No one can deny their presence, as well as their contribution.

Homosexuality is as regular, as it is natural and normal.

Make your case, tommy. I'm listening. So, far you have stated only conclusions. Why, when homosexuality occurs so normally, and naturally, is it not normal or natural? Are those just labels, or is there substance to them?

I say, it is what it is...normal is what occurs normally, and natural is what occurs naturally. But we are willing to listen.

But tom, it's not an opinion question. It's an empirical question.

Let's say it's cloudy and raining outside, but it's your opinion that it is bright and sunny. There are meteorologists that say it is raining, and everyone who goes outside says it's raining.

But you are steadfast that it is sunny and bright. The only conclusion has to be that you are not all there, mentally.

It was once obvious "to everyone" that the earth was flat. This was the "right, normal and natural way of things." Until they looked around and could not deny that the earth was round.

An empirical question is one that hurts you if you get it wrong. You may believe that it is "right, normal and natural way of things" that a god will save you if you jump off a cliff. The clear logic will hit you just before you hit the ground.

The truth of homosexuality will hit you at about the same time. Laughing

There are two extreme views... One is yours where you think homosexuality is just the same as a male/female heterosexual relationship, and where you think homosexuality should be promoted in schools and society, and marriage between homosexuals should be allowed and where adoptive children should be handed to homosexuals with no regard to the child's needs for a mother and a father etc...

And the other extreme is where homosexuals are hunted down and imprisoned or even murdered Isis style...

My views are middle ground... As I explained earlier...

Don't try making your views reasonable, they aren't. And don't misconstrue. No one is promoting sexuality, children's needs are always paramount. No one is saying gay and straight marriage is the same either, just that it is equal.

You seem to think gay relationships are inferior or abnormal. So I'll ask again, is there a country you think has the law right? Russia perhaps?
