On pedophiles in Bali<\/p>\n
In the Aug. 29 edition of The Jakarta Post you ran an
\ninteresting section of several articles on pedophilia in Bali.
\nThis was accompanied by a photograph of a light-skinned man
\nsitting on the beach with a dark-skinned boy. The caption, as
\nwell as the positioning of the photo, made it absolutely clear
\nthat this photo was meant to illustrate a pedophile and his toy.
\nIn Aug. 30 of the Post, you ran a cowardly disclaimer stating
\nthat it was merely meant to illustrate "Bali". What a load of
\nrubbish!<\/p>\n
While many of the statements made in your articles are
\nundoubtedly, and unfortunately, true, I am extremely disappointed
\nthat the Post should fall into the trap of attributing all such
\nevils to "foreigners" -- as if there are no pribumi (indigenous)
\npedophiles. We know from your previous articles on the sex
\nindustry that this is simply not true -- there would be no child
\nprostitutes if there were no customers! Indonesia has enough
\n"devils" of its own without you needing to conjure up "foreign
\ndevils".<\/p>\n
I am a bule, married to an Indonesian and the stepfather of
\ntwo young boys (I am also a teacher -- mainly of young children)
\n-- thanks to the unfortunate slant of your articles, no doubt
\nsome people will now wonder if I am a pedophile when they see me
\nwith my children.
\nThanks a lot JP!<\/p>\n
