Pedophiles: Would you let a pedophile watch your kid?

This question is specifically for pedophiles. Let's say, hypothetically, you're the parent of a young child. You need someone to take care of them for a few hours. The only person that can do it is someone you know to be a pedophile. This person has never offended, never viewed cp, and claims they would never do either. He says he only has good intentions and would never harm a child. He seems like a really nice, honest, trustworthy guy. But he is sexually attracted to your child. Do you trust him to watch your child?

I'll answer the question later, but first, I want to see what you guys have to say.

This is a really good question, because I think most people (especially non pedophiles) would say "NO!"

Even though I don't want to ever watch anybody's kid, just because I don't want to be alone with them and have to fight even the smallest temptation that might pop in my head, I don't really see a problem with letting a pedophile babysit, as long as he/she never acted on it in their history.

I like being around kids because they seem happy and it makes me happy to be with them. But I don't want to be responsible for any kids though, because I know it's a big undertaking and I think there are people with better ways to deal with kids than I have.

Though I want to say that I would think about how the adults in my life treated me and looked after me and then I would know just to do the opposite of what they did and I'd probably be a really good babysitter.

Who is this guy? how long have I known him for? Are me and him very close friends or relatives? Does he have his life together? Is he mature enough? Does he have kids of his own? Just him supposedly being a trustworthy non-contact paedophile isn't enough for me to make a decision that may or may not bite me in the ass.

If I did let a trustworthy paedophile watch over my child he'd have to relieve his urges first. Plus, wash his hands in running warm water. No physical play until I get home. Same goes for if this person is a woman.

I have been given the task of watching over children before for around the same amount of time. If I had to babysit for a whole day rather... that'd be interesting. Not just because of the cultural differences either. They'd probably not eat my food. Keep them busy but not let them get wild. I wouldn't be able to bathe them or take care of infants. Must be potty trained. Then there's the nightmare of me starting to have urges at the worst times and having to relieve them in private... which makes me feel paranoid and defiled because the little girl i'm masturbating to is probably wondering where the I've vanished to and calling out for my attention or whatever. I also have a bit of a bad temper when it comes to little boys. There's a lot of things that come to my mind about all of this because I've never had kids of my own and to be honest I probably wont want to for a long long while.

Hell, I can't even take care of myself half the time.

I would never let a pro-contact paedophile watch over my children though.

Just some random thoughts.

No I would not. It seems a bit unfair to both the kid and the pedo.

Ummm I think I want to change my answer to what Siamese Fever wrote. That's better than what I said.

If I know they're a pedophile and they have never offended, then the only reason I know is because they have put an intense degree of trust in me. The relationship we have, is therefore a very good one indeed, which is a good sign for a babysitter.

Nonpedophiles don't make commitments not to molest children, so if a peculiar situation comes up and my child is coming on to a nonpedophile, he might well go for it, whereas the pedophile has already reheresed that scenario in his mind and has his "no" all ready to go. And since statistically a nonpedophile is more than twice as likely to molest a child than a pedophile is, I'd preffer a pedophile babysitter to a nonpedophile one if that is the only known difference between the two.

He's nice, honest, trustworthy, and actually likes my kid. The only thing that would make me hesitate at that point is the possibility that he's a crap caretaker or if my kid didn't like him for whatever reason, but since he's even in the running for the job, I presume that's a non-issue.

So, of course I let him do the babysitting.

If he was someone I've known for a while and known to be trustworthy with a child regardless of sexual interests, then yes, I would let a pedophile watch my kid. But if he was a stranger, I would still go through all the precautions I would with anyone, pedophile or not. I would just want to make sure they would actually make a good babysitter, be responsible, be a good role model for my child, etc.

Yes, I would absolutely allow them to watch my child. I don't have any reason not to. Like YouthRightsRadical said if I know that they are a pedophile and they haven't offended then they must be someone who I am close with. I would actually feel much more comfortable with them then with someone that I don't know as well and suspect is not a pedophile. My concern would be more about child molesters than pedophiles. There are plenty of non-pedophile child molesters out there, as well as pedophiles who have molested that I don't know they have acted out.

^Not sure if disturbed,sarcastic or just trolling. I'll assume the latter.

I dunno...I'd never put much thought into it really. I guess that would depend on how much I know about him/her.
