Psychologist Advises Parents How to Protect Their Kids After Working With Pedophiles for Years

The Epoch Times Header

A psychologist and mom of two who has worked with convicted pedophiles for years is sharing her wisdom with other parents to help them protect their children.

Leslie Dobson, 41, is a clinical and forensic psychologist from Canada who runs her practice out of Long Beach, California, where she lives with her husband and children. She has a 7-year-old daughter and a 2-year-old son. Ms. Dobson specializes in working with sexually violent predators, violence risk assessments, trauma, and civil litigation and testifies as an expert in matters of emotional damage from personal injury.

โ€œI began working with pedophiles before I had children,โ€ Ms. Dobson told The Epoch Times. โ€œI started to notice the themes that the pedophiles would take advantage of: They would groom children, they would start to build that safety zone around a child, they pick their target, and they would start to become a familiar source or person in that childโ€™s life.

As they would build that safety zone, they would start to slowly integrate sexual content … the build-up of this pattern I saw in the pedophiles when they explained their targets and what led to their crime, is how I started to protect my children,โ€ she said.
