The cyber police have warned of the risks of abuse against minors online and citizens have managed to lower profiles of people who promote pedophilia, considered a mental disorder
They are associated with a flag to identify themselves, they celebrate one day a year, and affirm that their practices are not an abuse: it is about people who claim to feel sexual and loving attraction to children .
Those who identify with these practices have allegedly constituted a movement under the acronym: MAP (Minor Attracted Persons) or MOP (Movement Pride Pedophile) .
They are people who maintain that their attraction to minors, especially boys and girls at puberty, is not related to sexual abuse and even equates it with a sexual orientation.
In Mexico, the cyber police have warned about the risks that minors are more often exposed to pornographic content because with the “new normal” they spend more time on the Internet, especially to take classes.
Every week , at least 10 reports of profiles, messages or web pages with contents of sexual incidents against minors are received, according to figures from the cyber police. To stop these profiles, the authorities call to denounce and not to share the contents or click on them , according to a statement.
These practices are part of what is known as pedophilia, which is considered a "sexual disorder" by the World Health Organization(WHO). "(Pedophilic disorder) is described as a sustained, focused and intense pattern of sexual arousal, manifested by thoughts, fantasies, intense desires or persistent sexual behaviors that involve prepubescent boys or girls," according to the organization.
Even WHO it includes pedophilia in its International Classification of Diseases (ICD) in force and which come into force in 2022 that status will continue, according to WHO sources quoted by the agency EFE.
The MAP and the MOP seek to have their practices accepted socially and have allegedly asked the WHO to remove pedophilia from that list of mental disorders. However, according to EFE, there is no evidence that a social movement of "people attracted to minors" has asked the WHO to normalize pedophilia .
In recent months, the social network Facebook lowered the profiles of pages that identified with the MAP and the MOP. A group of people signed a petition on the change.org platform to request that social network delete these types of profiles.
“Lately in the social network FACEBOOK there have been several pages» MAP »(Minor-Attracted Person) that is to say pages that are asking for the normalization of PEDOFILIA and clearly we all agree that this movement should NOT have the slightest support for Therefore, we ask that Facebook remove all MAP pages from its platform as they try to normalize pedophilia and pedophilia ”, reads the petition.
The WHO "strictly prohibits sexual activity with children (persons under 18 years of age), regardless of the minimum age of free consent or the age at which the majority is reached in the country in question," the organization states in its code of ethics.
The MAP has a colored flag to identify itself. Blue represents boys, pink represents girls; white indicates that their relationship is not impure and yellow, referring to the fact that they are developing people, according to the NGO Common Cause cited by UNO TV.
However, there are organizations like The Global Prevention Project that cares for people with this disorder, which clarify that MAP is the way in which people attracted to minors are named in the research community.
The NGO told EFE that it is not aware of a MAPmovement asking the WHO to remove pedophilia from its list of mental disorders.
The Global Prevention Project is an organization specialized in preventing child abuse through mental health treatments and psychoeducational assistance to people with sexual behaviors that are illegal but have not reached physical contact.
The organization B4U-ACT, specialized in providing psychological assistance to adults and adolescents attracted by minors, told EFE that "there is not a single MAP movement, but rather many."
In Mexico, complaints about crimes of abuse of minors online can be reported to the Public Prosecutor's Office at this link: https://mpvirtual.fgjcdmx.gob.mx/CiberDenuncia/terminosCondiciones.aspx, where they will follow up and provide the necessary attention.
