Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pedophiles often have a distorted perspective on children and may view them as willing participants in sexual activity or as providing pleasure. This is a reflection of their own skewed perception and not the reality of the situation. It is important for healthcare providers to understand this perspective to provide appropriate care and support for both the individual and any potential victims.
