Jim McDermott February 06, 2009

I will be blogging for America this weekend from the New York City Comicon, a scifi/comic book jamboree happening this weekend at the Jacob Javits Center. On the agenda -- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles; the 70th anniversary of Marvel Comics; Jedi Lightsaber fights; movie previews; and many, many costumes...

As Jesus said, "Come and see."

No, homosexuality is not a risk factor for the sexual abuse of children

Sexual orientation by itself is irrelevant to child sexual abuse. The risk factors include impulse control problems and substance abuse, and offenders take advantage of situations in which they are trusted.
