The 'Kentler Project' in West Berlin routinely placed homeless children with pedophile men, assuming they'd make ideal foster parents. A study has found the practice went on for decades.

Starting in the 1970s psychology professor Helmut Kentler conducted his "experiment." Homeless children in West Berlin were intentionally placed with pedophile men. These men would make especially loving foster parents, Kentler argued.

A study conducted by the university of Hildesheim has found that authorities in Berlin condoned this practice for almost 30 years. The pedophile foster fathers even received a regular care allowance.

Helmut Kentler (1928-2008) was in a leading position at Berlin's center for educational research. He was convinced that sexual contact between adults and children was harmless.

Berlin's child welfare offices and the governing Senate turned a blind eye or even approved of the placements.

Several years ago two of the victims came forward and told their story, since then the researchers at Hildesheim University have plowed through files and conducted interviews.

What they found was a "network across educational institutions," the state youth welfare office and the Berlin Senate, in which pedophilia was "accepted, supported, defended."

Kentler himself was in regular contact with the children and their foster fathers. He was never prosecuted: By the time his victims came forward, the statute of limitations for his actions had expired. This has also thus far prevented the victims from getting any compensation.

The researchers found that several of the foster fathers were high-profile academics. They speak of a network that included high-ranking members of the Max Planck Institute, Berlin's Free University, and the notorious Odenwald School in Hesse, West Germany, which was at the center of a major pedophilia scandal several years ago. It has since been closed down.

Berlin's senator for youth and children, Sandra Scheeres called the findings "shocking and horrifying."

A first report on the "Kentler experiment" was published in 2016 by the University of Gttingen. The researchers then stated that the Berlin Senate seemed to lack interest in finding out the truth.

Now Berlin authorities have vowed to shed light on the matter.

Well, shit

wtf

How the fuck does someone come to that conclusion? There certainly might be some cases where an abused child comes out of it mentally sound with no lasting issues, but that's probably a 1/10,000,000 scenario. He either just made an a monstrous assumption or had some really fucked up data.

To judge a society, check how it treats its orphans.

Well that is certainly not good.

And people still have a hard time believing that elites in society would ever have similar networks among themselves.

why woud you just write berlin instead of west berlin

You really think those are the only two possibilities? How about that researcher and government that supported him were just fucked up, and wanted to damage the next generation?

I don't see the merits in this idea.

From the assumption that "He was convinced that sexual contact between adults and children was harmless" is a true statement, yes. That could obviously be nonsense he used to justify selling children into sexual slavery, but nothing from that seems to make that assertion at least.

Wtf They are insane.

Horrifying. Weird this is published now though, seems like even the stuff about Hildesheim (yay) is at least a year old

Because it kept happening well after reunification.
From a Tagesspiegel article: "Jugendmter, die Pflegekinder in die Obhut vorbestrafter Pdophiler geben - es klingt so perfide wie unglaublich. Doch in Berlin ist genau das ber 30 Jahre hinweg passiert, bis mindestens 2003."

Why are so many elites pedos

They are rich so the government won't do shit to stop them.

So I will assume his hypothesis was proved wrong.

ask any teenage girl--they know the answer.

the answer is because the elites are men.

adult men have been trying to fuck me since i hit puberty. the only thing that has stopped some of them from raping me was fear of punishment. at this point I assume all men have that impulse, and the good ones are those who have an unselfish reason for keeping it in check.

men with power have no fear of punishment. and one does not become powerful by being unselfish.
