Controversial Research
on
Impact of Adult-Child Sex
Bob Flores, senior counsel for the
National Law Center for Children and Families,
isn't surprised by *NAMBLA's elation:
"The report will validate many pedophiles.
It will make them think that what they're
doing to the child is actually helping them.
This isn't brain surgery. Even the village idiot
understands what this study is suggesting."

About Alaska
|
It seems appropriate that the precedent setting child protection resolution (below) comes from Alaska, "The Last Frontier." Alaska is the great state that has as it's motto, "North to the Future" and as it's state flower, the "Forget-me-not." Thank you Alaska, for having the commitment and courage to speak out for the children. ~ Lisa Torkelson, Legislative Aide to Representative Fred Dyson, Eagle River, Alaska.

Alaska Resolution
|
The resolution was officially recorded on April 7, 1999,
in the Alaska State Legislature.
HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 36
IN THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF ALASKA
TWENTY-FIRST LEGISLATURE - FIRST SESSION
By Representative Dyson
Relating to rejecting the conclusions in a recent article published by the American Psychological Association that suggests that sexual relationships between adults and children might be positive for children; and urging the President of the United States and the United States Congress to similarly reject these conclusions.
BE IT RESOLVED
BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF ALASKA:
WHEREAS children are a precious gift and responsibility; and
WHEREAS the spiritual, physical, and mental well-being of children is our sacred duty; and
WHEREAS no segment of our society is more critical to the future of human survival and society than our children; and
WHEREAS it is the obligation of all public policymakers not only to support but also to defend the health and rights of parents, families, and children; and
WHEREAS information endangering to children is being made public and, in some instances, may be given unwarranted or unintended credibility through release under professional titles or through professional organizations; and
WHEREAS elected officials have a duty to inform and counter actions they consider damaging to children, parents, families, and society; and
WHEREAS Alaska has made sexual molestation of a child a felony and has declared parents who sexually molest their children to be unfit; and
WHEREAS the American Psychological Association has recently published a study that suggests that sexual relationships between adults and willing children are less harmful 09 than believed and might even be positive for "willing" children;
BE IT RESOLVED that the Alaska State Legislature condemns and denounces all suggestions in the recently published study by the American Psychological Association that indicates sexual relationships between adults and willing children are less harmful than believed and might even be positive for "willing" children; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED that the Alaska State Legislature urges the United States Congress and the President of the United States to likewise reject and condemn, in the strongest honorable written and vocal terms possible, any suggestion that sexual relations between children and adults are anything but abusive, destructive, exploitive, reprehensible, and punishable by law; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED that the Alaska State Legislature encourages competent investigations to continue to research the effects of child sexual abuse using the best methodology so that the public and public policymakers may act upon accurate information.
COPIES of this resolution shall be sent to the Honorable Bill Clinton, President of the United States; the Honorable Al Gore, Jr., Vice-President of the United States and President of the U.S. Senate; the Honorable Trent Lott, Majority Leader of the U.S. Senate; the Honorable J. Dennis Hastert, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives; and to the Honorable Ted Stevens and the Honorable Frank Murkowski, U.S. Senators, and the Honorable Don Young, U.S. Representative, members of the Alaska delegation in Congress.
