did anyone hear about what amazon was selling until it got hit with so many complaints? it was selling books that I think were ment for the kindle thing called guide for pedophiles. it was about how to make sexual encounters more easier for pedophiles. how amazon could allow that discusting book to be sold is beyond me. I don't think sick people should be buying books on how to touch a child in the best way. I am glad that this trash was taken off the website. they just don't need to put idea's into a sick person's head that it is okay to touch a little child. that sort of stuff can damage a child for life, give them nightmares and horrible flashbacks and amazon making money off that was just sick and cruel.

What the hell was Amazon thinking? I simply cannot imagine. Freedom of speech is freedom of speech, but to openly endorse this type of literature is questionable at best. To sell a book that provides detailed instructions for pedophiles on how to best harm and molest innocent children is just a horrible lapse in judgement.
I don't think consumers will forget this one, and I would be satisfied to see Amazon's glittering reputation take a big, sharp downturn as a result of this. Not cool.

i agree with you both. I posted the story on my facebook page because I was shocked amazon would sell that. for a kid to be molested by a sick pervert they should not have books to endorse this kind of sick behavior. the flashbacks will make you go crazy. it is really hard to get over the pain and feel safe again. you cringe when someone is behind you and go to sleep with nightmares. and they want to sell tips on how to get close to children and attack them that's just wrong.

There just shouldnt be so much sex and promiscuous materiel at a fingertip's reach as it is. Theres too many literary publications that are just not for good use that are too readily available already. We sure dont need things like that to come to the forefront.

I saw that, and I think the author of the book should get a good beat down! I don't know why Amazon would display it, it's pretty bad.

Something like this just should never happen plain and simple.

This is the first I have heard about this. I agree it is just sickening, and I cannot believe Amazon would post something like that.

Those sickos don't need help in feeding the frenzy of abusing kids. I was molested by a family member and I will tell you first hand the damage is forever and will premeate through your lifetime.

beangirl I am very sorry that happened to you. that is really painful to go through something like that. there is a good book the rape recovery handbook. I bought it after I was sexually assaulted at a fair in 2009. my ex who is stupid dropped me off because some girl was coming to his house and he didn't want her to think anything was going on with us. I was talking to a employee who was on his break and I followed him to this place outside and that's when it happened. I hit him in the chest and I wanted to get past him. when I did he grabbed me and was saying im not going to hurt you. I screamed get the hell off me 3 times as people walked by and did nothing to help. he cursed me out and said it was because of what I was wearing which was velvet pants and a tank top. it was nothing reveling. I went back to cutting and through a really dark time. I had horrible flashbacks of getting attacked when I was alone and horrible bouts of crying. I wrote poetry to try and get my mind off it but thought I was going crazy. it took about a year for things to go back to normal but I don't like when guys are behind me because it makes me nervous. I had someone tell me I was stupid for not reporting it. but I ran away and cried because I had so much fear in me. I think when something like that happens we all have different kinds of emotions. I had dreams of killing the guy. I do agree the damage is forever and you never forget the fear.

Oh God Angel that has to be the worst. I am so sorry. I have a co worker who was gang raped as a teen ager. She was really messed up for a long time.

i feel horrible for your co-worker to go through something so violent. how could scum like that do something so discusting. people like that should get the death chair. I know I was very lucky I got away but some people didn't have that chance. it takes a lot out of a person to go through something like that. most books don't talk about the damage you have to deal with after it happens. I hope your okay with everything you had to deal with after it happened with your family member.

I was a bit scared at one time.
I used to work at a Hooters and there were guys who would make me nervous saying things. Nobody actually touched me when I worked there but a few others were bothered. Not actually raped thankfully but made uncomfortable or touched on the butt or what.
I got out of there mainly because I dont go to work to get hit on.

Thanks Angel. I went through a lot of therapy when I was in my twenties. It helped a lot. I no longer feel like a victim anymore. I took back my power and control.Thankfully my family believed me when I told them and have been very supportive.

I am so sorry you had to go through that, Angel and Beangirl. There were times at my old job where I would get extremely creeped out by some of the customers. Because of this, whenever I worked the closing shift, especially if it was with another girl, I would bring out this large 13 inch kitchen knife from the back room and put it up front where we stood behind the counter, but kept it somewhat hidden.
There was one time in particular when me and the girl I was working with, and we were just about to lock up for the night, and this one customer, when I had finished up his order, would not leave, and he was sort of leaning over the counter with his arms outstretched. To me he gave off a creep vibe the moment he stepped into the store. He called out to me, like to ask me a question or something. I picked up the knife, without going anywhere near where he was standing. When he saw the knife in my hand, he said, "Never mind." and as he walked out, I noticed he kept glancing back at us. I did not let go of that knife until he was clearly out of the store. I was still holding the knife when I went over to lock the door.
The other girl thought I was being paranoid, but I was not taking any chances. If your gut is telling you something is off, 99.9 % chance your gut is right. Because of the risk of things like that happening these days, especially to young girls, I always lock my car, look inside my car before getting in, locking the doors right after I get in my car, and I carry pepper spray.

i once went to a hooter's in flordia and the place was really nice. those guy's don't have the right to lay their hand's on any girl that work's at hooter's. some guy's are just discusting pervert's. every woman has the right to feel safe at work without dealing with sexual harasement.
your welcome beangirl. I think you are very brave that you were able to talk about it with people. I didn't get theropy because I could not tell a stranger. I didn't want to think anymore about it. my theropy was writing because it was a way to get it out of my system. I do regret not turning him in but I just froze with the worst kind of fear. however if something like that were to happen again I would do everything I can to fight back. I am more on guard now and aware of what's going on around me and trusting people.
fartinggurl you were right to do what you did. it's better to be safe then sorry. the attacker want's you to trust him but once you let down your guard that's it. if you didn't have that night he could of done something. the fact that he saw your knife and ran makes me think he was planning something. pepper spray is something I should carry.
