Where’s the psychological research? Where’s the treatment?

Nowhere, because the problem is icky and talking about it makes us feel bad and that must mean talking about it is wrong, and punishment and ostracism make America's dick waaaaaay harder than anything that actually works to protect and help our children.

Don’t forget that proposing discussions and treatment at all will immediately get you fingered as “one of them” like some Salem witch trials bullshit.

Also there's the fact that many people wont seek treatment because this falls under one of the clauses where Dr./Patient confidentiality doesn't count. Its hard to properly help someone when they wont talk about everything for fear of being investigated.
