Question by AFx567-sun:

How does society view the children of sex offenders?

Hi

I’m doing a research for a paper I’m putting together. It’s about how society view the relatives of criminals.
I’m especially interested in the way society view the children of pedophiles and other sex offenders. 'Do other people see the children as victims too?' is the main question.
I need the opinions and views of other people to complete it

Thanks in advance

Answer by David
Children of sex offenders are not necessarily victims themselves. For instance, a pedophile may target children outside of their family but not their own. But the children can become victimized due to their parent's status as a sex offender. For example, if the sex offender brings their victims into their homes and the acts are done in plane view of the child. Also, if it is revealed that their father or mother is a sex offender, they maybe teased or harassed at school. The children may also become isolated from the rest of their family or have to suffer through turmoil of parental separation and/or divorce because of the revelations about their parent being a sex offender.

So in a sense, some children of sex offenders may become victims themselves, even if they were not a victim of sexual abuse themselves.
