Dear koshergrl: What I see is a good point is that these addictions can be identified and screened early
when the danger signs of going "overboard in a sick direction" first start to surface. Similarly Dahmer and others
were found "torturing animals" before they started torturing people. So animal rights and anti-violence groups
did start working together to try to catch and screen cruelty cases, to prevent these from escalating unchecked!
The point others are trying to make, is the porn isn't CAUSING the sickness, but does feed it with people who
have this sickness. Guns don't kill people, people with guns kill people. Taking drugs away from people doesn't cure the addiction, but the causes are internal and spiritual and require a LOT DEEPER process to treat, and manage or cure.
On that note, I do agree we need to make it open and accessible for people to get help and treatment for such criminal illness and obsessions, especially dangerous cases.
If we keep demonizing this as "not human" people run from getting help.
We don't demonize cancer and expect people to get checked and diagnosed early!
I have regularly cited sources for diagnosing and treating the spiritual causes of criminal addiction, illness and abuse.
koshergrl if you are one of the people SERIOUS about addressing the issue of criminal illness as a disease that can be diagnosed and either managed by detainment and/or treatment while being detained for public safety reasons,
I totally support this approach in saving lives and ending this fear of getting help when someone first shows danger signs.
The man in Cleveland who kidnapped, raped and killed women for years before he hanged himself in jail
BEGGED and wanted help but had no hope, ran and hid, knowing his obsession was going to lead to worse.
Now look at the testimony of David Berkowitz who was given the help to overcome his spiritual sickness,
and understands that this can be changed if caught early on. He wants to reach out and prevent others from suffering!
Here are the Sources I recommend for national outreach to all communities to report cases and get people help:

Healing Is Yours Note: Dr. Phillip Goldfedder is a Jewish neurosurgeon who discovered Christian healing methods worked scientifically after someone demonstrated and proved it to him, and it changed his whole practice to helping people through spiritual counseling to help their minds and bodies heal themselves naturally this way.
Listen to the cries of the children a non profit organization Olivia Reiner gives out her number to all people needing help 713 829 0899
The nonprofit volunteers with her group have helped people receive healing from physical and mental illness including cancer, drug and sex abuse, addictions of all forms from heroin, alcohol, sexual, etc.
if you are serious about the solution to this sickness, the answers are there and just waiting for
more medical research and development before this becomes public knowledge.
Most of the barrier is from media and mental "segregation" between science and religion,
church and state, that sends the wrong message instead of sharing information
and promoting solutions that all people can agree work naturally.
I posted the above resources on a central blog to promote medical research and
outreach to get this knowledge out to the public:

This knowledge would change our entire mental health and criminal justice system to focus on cost-effective
prevention, natural healing and corrective measures instead of letting symptoms, crimes and costs escalate.
