One sponsored conference featured breakout session for 'minor attracted individuals'

[Jim Burton]

"Professionals and parents continue to use myths and misunderstandings as the base of decisions on problematic and illegal sexual behavior of children and adolescents," the symposium's website reads. "Adults worry about addressing sexual topics, and yet youth continue to be inundated with graphic sexual images and messages."

"We need to better equip professionals and parents to understand and support healthy sexual development and to identify problematic sexual behavior early and intervene with all children and caregivers impacted," the description continues.

One breakout session at the conference focused on "The Help-Wanted Prevention Intervention for Minor Attracted Individuals," a euphemism for pedophiles.

euphemism

One breakout session at the conference focused on "The Help-Wanted Prevention Intervention for Minor Attracted Individuals," a euphemism for pedophiles.

Euphemism. As though "pedophile" is a neutral term. I don't get how anyone can deny the word lumps together sexual abusers of children and those who don't. Even if you believe every CS abuser deserves the most severe treatment, and every MAP has or will sexually abuse children, how is trying to distinguish the attraction euphemistic?
