Scotland Police Face Backlash After Report Renaming Pedophiles as ‘Minor-Attracted People’
The term MAP is contentious because child abusers are trying to escape the stigma attached to paedophilia and maintain they should be regarded as a niche group alongside the LGBT community.
Kenny McAskill, the Alba Party MP for East Lothian and former SNP Justice Secretary, said any use of euphemisms in relation to child sex abusers was “baloney”.
He said: “Spouting these euphemisms simply masks the reality and their danger.
“I very much welcome the common sense approach from Police Scotland, though even in commissioning documents these euphemisms should be avoided as they mask the reality and hide the horror. The term in whatever context is baloney.”
‘Most Scots will find this deeply disturbing and wrong’
Maggie Mellon, an independent social work consultant, said the term MAP risked “the danger of normalising and therefore perhaps decriminalising a serious offence”.
She added: “There should be diagnostic and treatment options for those who present a risk to children but the police are not a therapeutic service – they should be devoting their resources to closing down porn sites that feature children and abuse of women and upping their detection and conviction rates for those promoting child abuse.”
A Scottish Conservative spokesman said:
“Most Scots will find any attempt to soften the language around paedophilia in official guidance to be deeply disturbing and wrong.
“Offences relating to paedophilia are among the most appalling and unforgivable crimes anyone can commit and it’s essential that Police Scotland guidance reflects this.”
The MAPs propaganda drive has been compared to the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE) campaign in the 1970s and 80s which piggy-backed on the gay liberation movement to push for pro-child abuse policies, such as lowering the age of consent to just four.

Most people don't know there was an active campaign by pedos to "legitimize" their perversion starting in the 70s. It spawned the "False Memory Syndrome" movement, which had associates advocating for child-adult sex as "God's plan for human closeness of flesh" and similar nonsense. Those who reported group abuse of kids by adults were accused of "satanic panic". Now they're just called "bigots". This is not an improvement.
RRA,
Sometime before my mother died in 1987, I remember discussing with her a disturbing and disgusting article in Time Magazine: a Harvard professor was advocating for a girl's first sexual experience to be with her own father.
The article may even have been an opinion piece written by the above-referenced professor.
Do you recall anything about this?
