(As of January 31, 2008, DormItem.com is now part of CollegeClassifieds.com. This entry originally appeared on DormItem.com on August 13, 2007.)

DormItem's Dan Scudder and Zack Coburn posted this blog entry back in the fall of 2007, and people seemed to enjoy it (I am not sure the word is enjoy...). Anyway, by popular request, I am keeping it on the CollegeClassifieds.com blog for your review.



"Browsing the internet leads you to find lots of funny and scary things. This is amongst the funniest and scariest. Long live the fine line between educational and downright creepy. Here are some shots of the book."

Jaji, I doubt you hold the right to decide who goes to hell or not, in this life or whatever Christian fantasy world you live in. Such strong words over a simple book... perhaps you are more "deserving" than you think of said fate.

children SHOULD learn about this!! cuz this crap happens everyday and it's good to know how to deal with it. not everyone has the golden family that they deserve, and if something bad happens [like uncle bad-touch] then they need to know how to fix that. thank GOD someone wrote a book like this!!!!

lol, this isn't just a regular kid's book. It's probably a psychologist's book. My mom's office - she was a school psychologist - had a billion of these, on all different subjects. They used to scare me when I'd sneak a read of them as a kid. Yay, curiosity.

How could you say that is disturbing? I mean ya it's kinda messed up with the kids point of view. But i think kids should be taught what really happens in the real world. I mean I'm sure most kids don't understand it but the book itself isn't bad.. You guys are just overly religious!

July 15, 2008 at 12:58:17   | From: The Ranting Pants

Ok people, I don't think this is a tool for therapists because therapists aren't supposed to tell you that you are or are not "something." (In this case, gay). For a moment I thought, "Anti-Homosexual Propaganda" but then, as my boyfriend pointed out, Pete would be in jail. I dunno folks, this one's for the record books. I'm hoping to blog about it on my site. (If that's ok).

July 21, 2008 at 04:48:50   | From: mrsrod

I'm a Christian fanatic, and here's what I think: 1) I agree with ekhrafn - this book is not for the mainstream audience, but for a targeted audience; obviously an audience dealing with similar issues 2) There is alot of the conversation between the counselor and the boy left out of the book (for example, the boy doesn't say he told the counselor about his dad or his Uncle Pete, yet the counselor knows all about it), so it is not anti-homosexual that the counselor said the boy is not gay. It is not unusual for teens to question their own sexuality these days. I would figure the counselor asked a series of questions about the boys attractions to both sexes before making the determination. Also, there is nothing in the portion of the book shown which says there is anything wrong with being gay. 3) This counselor must be very blessed. How brave to confront the parents - and amazing that he was able to so peacefully point out their mistakes. Really, if a counselor came to your door and said 'your son is confused, and it's your fault,' would you have taken it so well? 4) It's true that Uncle Pete would most likely have spent some time in jail, but it probably wouldn't have been very long, if it was a first time offense. My dad was only in for a few days, then sent to the most ineffective group counseling ever conceived. So, having Uncle Pete sitting contrite in a chair, rather than behind bars, is not so far-fetched. Oh, were you expecting some Christian rant? This book was not against God (except for pointing out a small percentage of the evil in the world, and sin of all kinds is offensive to God), so why would I, as a Christian, be offended by it?

"I can’t think of the title but you can google him. he lives in DC and is an ex-gay man…." No, he's not an ex-gay man; he's a never-was-gay-but-confused-by-molestation man. The book is his story and he hopes to help other boys in the same situation. Either that or he IS being purposely anti-gay.

August 21, 2008 at 07:57:04   | From: Marcus

No one ever came to my bed and taouched me when I was as kid, but I am gay anyway. The story is bullshit, when I started puberty and had feelings toward boys I also dreamed about me being "abused" like that.

September 09, 2008 at 10:39:48   | From: Marla

I think this book SHOULD be mainstream. I think it's important for kids to know that if sexual abuse IS happening, that it's not a secret, and it's not bad that it happened to you; almost all sexual offenders confuse the child and tell them it's their fault, or that they will get in trouble if they tell. Sexual abuse happens all the time, and I think it's important that kids know it's OK to talk to people when it happens!

September 09, 2008 at 10:50:12   | From: Jizz Stain

When i was growing up around the age from 8 to about 15 i would fantisise about being molesterd like this! Considering i stared fooling around with other boys when i was around the age of 8 i would go into the toilets and suck other boys off, and they would return the favour. Then my dad found a girl friend and she had a son and he was the same age about 10 and me and him did everything there is to do together it was awsome and he had the same sort of fantises. I belive its an upbringing thing as i didnt have any brothers as i was growing up just 3 sisters and he had 1 sister and i got very curious about the male gender.

LOL One person says GO TO HELL and there begins a theological debate? Grow a pair of testicles you retards. This is a disturbing book that is OBVIOUSLY not meant for ALL children, but I don't think it's an effective way to help molested kids, either. I mean, look, he grows up and everything. And they talk to his Uncle, and his Uncle apologizes and lol everythings fine! no jail time plz. WTF? If this was an effective book for molested kids, which it clearly is not, it would have more "should I tell?" content, and in the end, Uncle would get what he deserves and Kid would be happy with counseling the end. :) LOOK AT UNCLES FACE ON SECOND PAGE HE HAS NO REMORSE

October 29, 2008 at 02:40:35   | From: ceejay

I don't understand why everyone is so shocked that the uncle didn't go to jail. The uncle was confronted a long time after the molestation occured, so there wouldn't be any proof of abuse. I really don't think that it's necessary to joke about this kind of thing either. This stuff really happens to children who are undeserving of such treatment [is anyone really deserving of rape or molestation?], and sometimes much worse. I think many of you should grow up and realize that.

Ok, your all idiots. The jokers, the religious buffs, the real gays, and the ones hiding the fact they actually WERE molested.

June 13, 2009 at 07:14:36   | From: Domino

I'm a teenager and I was sexually abused. It's cute how I keep reading "I think this book will really help a victim of sexual abuse". Well, no it won't. If you haven't gone through it, you don't know. And I don't consider myself emotionally scarred. Because the thing is-it happens so often and you DO hear about it so much, you kind of forget it's not a "normal" occurrence. Which is a very, bad disturbing thought. I dunno, I don't think this book would do anything more than confuse a little kid even more. And.sometimes parents fight even if your uncle doesn't touch you. And what really gets to me is it gives children the notion that just because they tell everything will be okay. SOME parents (not mine-I assure you) tell their children to shut up, that it never happened. Sometimes, the kids grow up and never really get over it and are afraid for people to touch them at all. That's what it's missing. They didn't say too much, they said too little.

June 21, 2009 at 05:20:52   | From:

In certain settings, the book may be necessary. For children who have been abused in the manner the lead character has been. For children who have not experienced this, it is not necessary.

This is horrifying. Being molested won't 'make you gay'. Not having a strong father figure won't 'make you gay'. It's something you are born with. The whole weird uncle crying and apologizing magically making everything better is complete junk too.

July 08, 2009 at 02:39:04   | From:

Not going to mince words here. According to the Bible homosexuality is wrong, homosexual actions are wrong. Period. There is nothing that will change that. I hear all the time that they're "born that way" and you know what? Maybe they are. Some of them anyways. BUT- we're all born in sin. We all have bad things that we do. Saying that a person is born predisposed to be sexually attracted to the same gender so it's ok to be gay is like saying that someone is born predisposed to be sexually attracted to children so pedophilia is ok. Sexual preference is a learned thing. A pedophile is a pedophile because something is wrong with them, either mentally, emotionally or what have you. Same thing with homosexuality. The difference is that people seem to think that unlike pedophilia homosexuality is a victimless crime as both parties are willing participants. What about necrophilia, zoophilia, etc? Where are the victims there? Why aren't these lifestyle choices condoned and homosexuality is? Are people born wanting to have sex with dead people or animals, and if so does that make it ok and normal? Here's the thing, I don't think sexual preferences are set at birth at all. I think they are learned behaviors, BUT, even if I am wrong and there is a switch in there that makes someone more predisposed than someone else it still doesn't excuse the behavior. Some people are born more predisposed to addictive behavior or violent tempers but that doesn't excuse alcoholism or drug abuse or abusive behavior. We're all responsible for our own actions in the end. I do not hate people who are homosexual, I have friends and family members who have made this lifestyle choice, and they are not "bad" people, they are simply people with a sexual malfunction, and I feel for them. I care about them (and no I don't constantly lecture them or berate them or put them down. They know how I feel about it and I know how they feel about it and that's it.) We all have our own cross to bear, our own issues that we are dealing with. Saying that we're "born" that way so it's ok is a cop out and even if it's true it doesn't excuse incorrect behavior. Homosexuality to me is akin to extra marital sex or smoking or gambling- I don't agree with the behavior but that's no reason to hate the people. It's a moral stance that I know not everyone shares, and I accept that. I'm entitled to take that stance so long as I don't feel entitled to abuse it. I am not a "better" person than my lesbian cousin or my gay and lesbian friends and acquaintances, I have my own issues. They have theirs. As far as the book goes- it's a true story about something that happened to a little boy that is being shared in the hopes of helping others in the same boat. I wish I had read something like that when I was a kid- I was molested at a young age, repressed it and was very messed up for a while. I'm healing, and doing better but it took YEARS for me to even remember it, then there were years of vacillating between thinking it must happen to everyone so it's not supposed to be a big deal and the idea that it's never happened to anyone else and it's my fault somehow and I'm all alone in this. Amazing what abuse will do to the brain. More children need to be taught that there is some behavior from adults that is unacceptable and that a secret like that should never be kept. I wish I would have gotten the help I needed at the time. I have taught my son that his body belongs to him and that no one is to touch it in any way that makes him feel uncomfortable and that no one should be seeing or touching anything that is covered by underwear other than a doctor for an exam or his wife someday. He decides whom he hugs or kisses and if he says to stop any kind of physical contact like tickling or wrestling he expects it to stop. Kids need to feel ownership over their own bodies. I've seen parents forcing kids to hug someone goodbye, and that teaches the worst kind of lesson.

This is obviously written by right wing religous conservatives. There is no mental health proffessional that would say any of those things that has any real credentials or education. Children are abused yes but it does not make them gay, Nor does the abscence of a fathers love. NOTHING MAKES PEOPLE GAY! One day this book will be banned as any other biggoted hate filled book has been.

Either that, or it's probably from a pro-equal marriage state that's got pissy and put-out homophobes looking to "restore" the "backbone" that is the "traditional" family, i.e. corrupt their youth with false ideals, so they'll be successfully raised to create more hate and hate crimes.

He didn't understand what their words meant, yet when he went to the therapist, he said he thought he might be gay. The parents get counsling, the uncle isn't arrested for some reason for MOLESTING HIS KID NEPHEW, then everything is perfectly fine because the kid isn't gay and his parents don't fight as much? Woooow.

Wow - looks like a serious piece of Christian propaganda! Because of course experimenting with men when you e young will make you gay (it doesn't). You know - the same way liking girls when you e a boy will make you a straight man (nope!). I sort of lost count of the number of "straw men" they set up and knocked down in that 'book'. And by 'book' I mean 'object suitable for starting fires in the fireplace, or as a substitute for toilet paper in an emergency'. And you know it's not real, because in real life, they wouldn't just have a serious talk with his "Uncle" they'd scream for him to be thrown in prison to be ass-raped to death. Because. you know. it's the Christian thing to do.

So the parents don't divorce and the father doesn't try to kill the uncle? And the Uncle isn't sent to prison for being a scumbag child molester? And the boy doesn't stay mixed up the rest of his life thinking he's gay due to sexual abuse as a child? Very fictional book. It gets one part right, sexual abuse at a young age does do mental and emotional collateral damage for the rest of the persons life, which for some or most changes what sexual pleasure should feel like and unfortunately turning them gay and lesbian :(. I don't think however this should be in a kids book, like sex education, this type of stuff should come from parents. If the kids parents would have had a close, trusting relationship with the kid they probably would have found out about the sexual abuse sooner.

March 28, 2010 at 09:03:07   | From: Mike

I'm just putting this out there, but could it POSSIBLY be that this isn't an anti-gay thing, or saying that this behavior is what makes you gay, or that not receiving the right attention when young makes you gay, but rather that it might be saying that a child who does not receive attention and time in a healthy family may grow up feeling confused about their own wants and needs, and that the book is written from the child's perspective? At no time is the author here saying in any of these pages, "Being gay is wrong," nor is he saying, "being gay is right," nor can I find anything saying, "this behavior makes you gay." Rather, all I'm seeing here is "I've heard your story, and I think from what you tell me that you are very confused by what has happened to you." It IS true that there's a certain upbringing element by which we learn how to interact with others when we are young. Those who don't receive enough healthy attention and affection from their respective parent often don't know how to behave around other people. I suspect that a good number of people who bounce around going, "I think I'm gay," one week and "Oh, wait, I'm straight," the next are good examples of this. Sexual confusion does not = being gay. I guess I'm saying that this book seems to be about sexual confusion, not about being gay or straight.

The problem is that if the book isn't a total pisser, its target is a children audience and it presents a number of anecdotal correlations that people are misled to believe are fact and perpetuate those in minors: 1. Being gay is a result of not being loved by ones parents 2. Being gay is a result of being molested 3. It is okay to be taunted and harassed by your peers for being gay 4. Counselors can cure you of being gay Since the resolution of the story is that the narrator is not gay anymore and he's happy, you e led to believe that being gay is bad and makes you unhappy.

I dressed like a total weirdo in high school (and I didn't know what the words "faggot" "sissy" and "homo" meant, clearly stating I was gay) and then I went to nig counselor and he told me that all this meant I was completely normal, just a little queerified by my past.

I wish people would read into this a bit less, because what is stated on the pages is not "being gay is terrible" or "only kids who get touched by their uncles are gay." It is saying quite plainly that this kid is confused about his sexuality, and sexuality in general (as I was too!), because of what happened. 3. To be honest, if I had ever gotten an apology from my molester, I think it would have helped me feel better. He went to jail when I was 16 (after I first told my mother when I was 12) and served less than a year, despite having 4 counts against him from myself and another victim and a previous record of some non-sexual crimes. Life isn't roses, folks, and some of the perpetraitors serve NO TIME AT ALL :) 4. I, the youngest of 5, got no attention from my over-worked mother and absent father, after at the age of 8 watching him cuss her out, cut the phone lines, hide her keys, and beat the shit out of her. My father was an abusive alcoholic. These things happen. Therapy doesn't help. I am not more or less attracted to anyone based on the actions of my parents. I do not need more touchtalktime from daddy. 5. Happily ever after: I am a newlywed expecting my first child. I am not aftraid to be touched by people because of what happened. I live a normal life despite never having had a black counselor, an unbroken home, or an apology from good ol' "Uncle Pete." In summation: This book seems pretty useless and I can't imagine its point. What are the intentions for a reader of this kind of book? It doesn't help victims of abuse or state any real facts except that molestation is wrong. Is that thepoint? Is it so that children can read it and then go: "OMG This happened IRL !" Meh.

The book is called Alfie's Home by Richard A. Cohen. Google them please, then you can have an educated conversation about it. Seeing as this was written by a guy who was openly gay then became an evangelist and extremely anti-gay, I think it is naive to say that there isn't a strong anti-homosexual undertone. That the book is saying that people turn gay because their parents didn't love them enough and they were molested.

April 05, 2010 at 11:01:33   | From: Anonymous Homosexual

I grew up very normal. I had both of my parents my whole life. I was the youngest of four children. Two older sisters and an older brother ( Who I was, and remain, closest to ). I played basketball, football, and lifted weights. I was never one of the "popular" kids, but I never was messed with either. I went to school, got decent grades, and came home to my normal home where I played with my normal friends. In high school I got a car. I drove it to church, school, and band practices. All normal things. I didn't spend my free time indulging in activities with an older uncle, I spent them on academics and creative arts. I even tried dating girls in high school. I kissed two of them, but only out of a feeling that I was supposed to. It never came natural. One was interested in sex. I wasn't. She dumped me. In college I met a boy. He was gay and I didn't overly mind. It was a bit of an uncomfortable subject ( due to my upbringing ), but I warmed up to him after I figured out that he too was normal. At first it was a friendship. We went to amusement parks, movies, and other normal activities. Eventually, he asked me out. It was an interesting experience. I knew my parents wouldn't approve. After all, this was "bad". It was something I was taught not to do. However, this was the only person I'd ever felt "love" for. I wanted to be around him all the time. I didn't want to be holding a girl in a theater. I wanted to be held. This is, apparently, where I become "abnormal". My desire and need for love. That boy remains with me five years later. We are engaged, but that is all we will ever be due to the law. We both go to our normal jobs, come home to our normal house, and hang out with our normal friends. For some reason, people perceive homosexuals as "abnormal". As if something MUST have gone wrong in their life to make them the way that they are. Reality is.some of us grew up normal, but we just don't have an attraction to the opposite sex. Some of my BEST and CLOSEST friends are girls, but I don't feel ANY desire to be with any of them in a romantic encounter. Nor do I have the desire to have multiple males in my life, another common association with homosexual men. We are not all that different from you. We are just more accepting. I no longer attend church, though I do have my own beliefs. The church, which is supposed to love all, will not accept us. Still, we will live our normal lives and enjoy our extraordinary love regardless of your perceptions.

April 07, 2010 at 01:19:58   | From: David in Houston

This book is promoting the lie that pedophilia and homosexuality are somehow linked together. That if you get molested, or if your father doesn't give you enough love then you will somehow turn gay if you don't get therapy. You cannot choose or change your sexual orientation, regardless of what the mentally defective Richard Cohen says. You can pretend to be straight, and not act out on your sexual attractions. But that doesn't change your orientation.

That's a load of crap. molestation does not cause people to be gay, a lot of people i know were molested and are as straight as an arrow! that's for giving gays a bad history.

hmm, I think its important for kids to be weary of sexual abuse, but i do not think it should be imprinted on the minds of children that being gay means your really just emotionally disturbed,or touched by your uncle or whatever, I think this was written in an attempt to "cure" gayness, like its some sort of mental illness, so over all, i give it a thums down, BUT, the page with the uncle in bed with him is funny as HELL!

April 11, 2010 at 01:25:16   | From: Me2

I see this as another feminist propaganda tool to denounce men. Husband screaming at Mommy, ignoring child, uncle molesting child. Does this happen? Yes. But it's almost never all the man's fault. Mommy's got issues too. And this book does not address that. That's my complaint about this.

April 11, 2010 at 03:21:30   | From: Brent

To whoever said psychologists offices have books like this. I guarantee that this book was created by some right-wing Christian conversion-therapy office. It has been accepted in pretty much all institutes of modern psychological thought that being gay doesn't stem from stupid shit like this you e born with it. This includes the American Psychiatric Association, The National Institute of Mental Health, The World Health Organization, The National Association of Social Workers, and The American Psychological Association, among others. People didn't even care about homosexuality until the Old Testament was written and it became stigmatized by the personal opinions of the people who wrote it.

The main message in the book, which I think isn't bad at all, is that if you e molested, you can tell people, and can get support. There is an underlying message though that not getting love from a father figure can cause boys to have homosexual thoughts or act on those thoughts, which is completely untrue.

It's a pity this book is written with such an undertone of "gay is wrong" and that "gayness" (if you will) is caused by a lack of love in the family. Teaches both parents and children the wrong thing. I like the idea of teaching children about molestation and to know that it is wrong though.

July 20, 2010 at 05:12:15   | From: Justin

This is completely untrue, and is a ploy against homosexuality. Whether Christians and other religious monsters want to believe it or not, homosexuality is natural. It can be easily observed in the natural world, and is caused by genetics/hormonal balances in the womb. This has been proven, and it has nothing to do with not having a father in life. Why is it that single-parents can raise perfectly normal children that contribute to society, even though there is the absence of a parent. I have always been close with my father, was never sexually abused, but I am gay. The worst thing that happened to me was continuously being ridiculed for my sexual preference. Yet, this book presents prejudice like it is something normal, and that it is the child's fault for being ridiculed, not the other students. How does this seem right?

August 17, 2010 at 03:18:34   | From: mattispantone81

I'm absolutely astounded and terrified by the obscene message being portrayed in this book. A message being that sexual molestation can make you gay. Which acredited psychological reference or precedent was used to create this book? This book could quite easily have been written without the obvious attack on homosexual identity. Now when this child (or any child that reads this book) grows up. if they have been molested and find that maybe. just maybe. their genetic profile predisposed them to naturally being homosexual, what kind of nightmare life is this kid going to have. He'll constantly be questioning WHY he loves someone. Instead of just loving them. Teach the child it's wrong to take advantage of others. Teach the child that he did nothing wrong. But most important of all. teach the child to think critically. To understand the world he lives in and not just make assumptions based on what his peers think. Any human can be greater than the sum of their parts or the sum of their experience. Humanity is diverse. When he grows up, and he feels that being attracted to other men comes naturally to him. then thats what he should do. Or if he wants to save the whales, or live in a forest, or be a philathropist or breed emus. He should do whatever his heart desires so long as he does not destroy nor impede the liberties and freedoms all humans are born with. Teach your children to make choices for themselves. Keep them from danger and lead by example. How is humanity going to grow if we tell our children what to think. They will never become more than they can be if we limit them by telling them what they are.

LOL gayest book ever. Wonder if it's ever helped someone. Wouldn't be surprised to who it is.

The sad part is that if this book really is real, it was probably written by some hardcore christian. you know, the ones that leave little pamphlets where ever they go. the ones about the evils of being gay and not believing in Jesus. Yeah, those are the people that would write a book like this, wish I knew who the author was

Wow.this is so fucking retarded.science has even proven that no one is gay because of having troubles in life.it has to do with what the mothers body does to the growing fetus in her womb. Did you know many animals can also be gay!! stupid ass holes. if anyone is attracted to the same or both genders then you ARE gay or ARE BI YOU STUPID MOTHER FUCKERS!! i know that most of you are going to see this comment and htink its wrong because i'm cussing so much but its because i am PISSED OFF!

This is less of a children's book and more of a family education book. it steers parents from fighting in front of their kids and shows how much children's lives can be affected by their actions.

OK, ignoring everything controversial about this (which is a lot), it starts out like a young child's book, then it talks about experiences that most likely would not be had until after puberty and changes its tone to be directed at middle schoolers. It then regresses to a book for a young child. I don't think they understood their target market

What the hell? Do you people think this is in any way, shape or form created to help children? This is propaganda promoting the myth that all homosexuals are confused people who were molested as children and come from a shaky home. My childhood was perfect. No molestation, no unhappiness at home and I'm gay. God, some of you actually believe this was created to help people? I think you people need help!

I.guess this would be an appropriate topic to talk about with kids, because they all need help with at least something. The thing I don't like is, that the child's told that he's not gay. He should be realizing this by himself if he's gay or not.

November 28, 2010 at 01:55:29   | From: Somebody

Is everybody just ignoring the homophobic elements of this book when they say it's great for children? I mean, sure, it's great that kids are being taught to tell someone if they get molested by family members, but this is NOT the book to do it with. They e essentially saying that only people who've been sexually abused are gay. Is this book from the 70's or something? Yeesh.

i'm really encouraged by many of the comments made here. it seems like a lot of you are very intelligent people. yes, this book is really disturbing, but it is disturbing and uncomfortable for a lot of you because this is an issue that a lot of people choose to turn away from. staring it in the face, like a reading a book about it, is hard. but ignoring it is WRONG. someone said that this is probably a psychologist's book--absolutely. i'm a school social worker. this would be a tool that someone like me might use with a student going through similar issues. the only problem i have with this book is that it seems to try and explain homosexual feelings to any boy who is feeling them. i'm hoping that a mental health professional would have the insight to be able to separate the boys who could relate to this, and those who make be even more confused by it.

February 05, 2011 at 05:42:39   | From: Keek

Alright people, here we go. Some people have said it, I'm just saying it again. THIS IS A PSYCHOLOGIST'S TOOL. The psychologist would give this to a child who they had already determined to be straight. Granted, that is a difficult thing to do and maybe cannot be strictly determined at any given time, especially at a young age, but really, the message isn't anti-gay here. There is a lot left unsaid in this book and the psychologist would undoubtedly discuss this with the child. Given the difficulty of pinning down whether a given person could be gay or not, the message they would be trying to get across is not "you e NOT gay" and more of "THIS doesn't make you gay." You have to understand that this message is very important to the victim. Think about it. If you were a small child and you were sexually molested or raped by an adult you trusted and never understood that this was not okay or that your reactions to what they did were not in your control and are not necessarily linked to your sexuality, you would be really confused and scared that you were gay. Again, there is nothing wrong with being gay - and, no, I am not going to drag my own sexuality into this discussion - but for most of us, especially when we are young, the concept of being gay is really scary, mostly because of the way it’s received and our fear of how this will impact our lives and our relationships. Getting back to the point: It doesn't say anywhere in there that there's anything wrong with being gay, it's just assuring a child that responding to that kind of touch does not make them gay. Even adult victims get this confused and are hurt by it. Because they were aroused by what happened, they freak and think it means something, when really, the body doesn’t know or care who is touching them or what sex they are, the body just reacts to the stimulation, meaning it has almost nothing to do with the victim’s sexuality or sexual preferences. So yes, out of context, this book does present a rather confusing message but it is not meant to be read by just any child and a psychologist would not just hand this to a kid and expect them to figure it out. They would go over it with them and help them to get the message they need. And yes, the book left a lot of things out such as: * Explaining that there’s nothing wrong with being gay: Yes, this might be necessary given that the child might in fact realize that they are gay somewhere down the road but if you are trying to get one message across and then go on a tangent about how it’s okay to be gay, you confuse the message. One would hope the psychologist would discuss this somewhere down the line if it was necessary but at the emotional point where this book would be presented to the child, it just wouldn’t work. And again, the book does not say anything against being gay. * What happens to Uncle Pete: This book already did a relatively good job of conveying how the child feels about Uncle Pete and in a realistic way. Uncle Pete was an adult that the child was very close to. He trusted and loved him. What Uncle Pete did was very wrong and the child eventually understood that, but this does not always change the way the child would feel about Uncle Pete. Chances are, the child is very confused about how to feel but still loves Uncle Pete. If you tell a child that Uncle Pete is going to prison for his actions they will look at is as A) If I, or because I, came forward Uncle Pete is going away for a very long time and Uncle Pete is getting locked away with bad people because of me. This would frighten the child and again, ruin the message the book and the intentions of the book was meant to convey.

This book isn't really about being gay or otherwise, its about child abuse and the confusion is causes. I would deffinately never ever read this to my kids, its not something appropriate for their young minds. In my eyes this book is an innocence stealer. All you can do is teach your kids right from wrong and instill good moral values on them before they enter the world and realize what kind of a mess it is.

March 11, 2011 at 01:34:02   | From:

This book isn't meant for kids that were sexually abused, it's meant for teens that "think" they e gay. It's anti-gay propaganda to scare and brainwash children.

March 11, 2011 at 04:46:47   | From:

A lot of people here may be misunderstanding the book. I don't think this book is shown to all children, or available at your local library. It's probably shown to kids who have dealt with traumatizing sexual events in their past.

Reading this book made me very angry, as did many of the comments posted. I can't believe that in 2011, there are still people who think this is how people 'become' homosexual. This is not just a tool to educate children about molestation, it's teaching children that homosexual boys are just 'confused' and seek closeness to other boys because they don't get it from their fathers, an idea that has NO evidence supporting it.
