Identify crimes of child sexual abuse through appearance

Researchers found that child sexual abusers and pedophiles often have a distinct difference in appearance compared to normal people and some other physical anomalies. This is a trait to identify them before they hurt your child.

According to the Daily Mail, this conclusion is based on a number of scientific studies suggesting that criminal sex abuse of children, biologically problematic prostitutes , leads to obvious differences in appearance. of them compared to ordinary people. The deformities on the pedophile's face may be the ears of the ear attached to the face, the irregularly shaped ears or the high palate.

Researchers found that in general, child sexual abusers and pedophiles also have other physical abnormalities called small physical defects (MPAs) , which have ears in place. low on face, tongue with groove, pinky finger, third toe longer than second toe and large gap between thumb and second finger.

These characteristics develop during the first trimester (calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period to the end of the 13th week from that time) and the second trimester (Beginning of the week). 14th from the beginning of the last period and lasts until the end of week 27 of pregnancy) when the fetus is still in the womb.

According to a study, up to 30-35% of pedophile crimes are left-handed.

They are made from the same layer of raw embryonic tissue that generates the central nervous system. Scientists believe they grow because mothers are exposed to certain viruses, drinking alcohol or using stimulants, obstetrical complications or nutritional deficiencies during pregnancy. These abnormalities are more common in men, which can be explained by the fact that the brain of men is more sensitive to obstacles in the development of the womb.

Rachel Fazio, neurologist and co-author of the study, said that if we know more about the cause of a traumatic behavior, we can create more effective treatments. and towards the prevention of pedophilia.

"For many years, it is believed that child sexual abuse is to some extent learned behavior, possibly pedophiles who have been abused in the past . Although this may be is a factor, but not the case of real pedophiles , " Mr. Fazio emphasized.

Experts conduct surveys for 140 subjects with signs of "illegal sexual behavior". Sexual assessment was created from medical and medical records review, a lengthy interview about sexual history, and a test of erotic interests by these subjects. Differences in body shape and use of the right or left hand are also checked. The results showed that those who sexually abused children and pedophiles who participated in the study were more likely to have mild deformities on their faces and heads than ordinary people.

A previous study by Associate Professor of Psychiatry James Cantor of the University of Toronto, Canada showed that those who abuse children, pedophiles lack the connection between individual parts of the brain. Associate Professor James Cantor said that instead of reacting like normal men when meeting a child, the brain of a pedophile and pedophile abuser will trigger a sexual response instead of a reaction. nurture or love ".

Mr. Cantor also said that those who abuse children and pedophiles often have an IQ of 10-15 points lower than the average, as well as 2.5cm lower than normal men. In the most recent study, scientist Cantor discovered that up to 30-35% of crimes of child sexual abuse, pedophiles are left-handed.
