Hello everyone. After having a kidney transplant and almost dieing, I felt that NOW was the time I needed to work on projects, not later. I decided to work on a project that I thought was my best idea. I am presently on my third draft of it. I wanted to answer: How can a 'healthy' young boy grow up to molest? I totally understand that is a loaded question in this forum. I pass no judgement on you, but rather I simply want your opinion on my work. I value your opinion more than my professors', in fact. This is not a pro-pedophilia/boy love script in any stretch of the imagination. Instead, I have chosen to tell the story of a pedophile from the pedophile's point of view. Most importantly, I don't intend on making him 'evil' or a 'monster'. He is a man with intense pain, and I want to show that many pedophiles who are in this kind of pain should be helped, rather than spit upon by society. However, I show him as weak, in pain, and selfish due to his inability to emotionally connect with his son. He decides on physical connect as a last resort, and feels extreme guilt about it. This isn't exactly what your board is all about, i understand. But again, I do value your opinion. Here is draft three: [link deleted] Michael Mejido mmejido@gti.net |
