A Glimpse into the Mind of a Child Molester

Following is “Rev. Daniel Dhaene’s” Letter to the Editor submitted in response to a published Belgium article on Father’s Touch (May, 2002). The editor refused to publish his letter, however provided me with a copy at Dhaene’s request.  Reading the letter seems to give the impression that Rev. Daniel Dhaene knows me, my siblings, or that he has been an insider in our family. The last time I spoke with Dhaene was 29 years ago, prior to escaping his house at the age of fifteen. Having changed the spelling of his family name, Dhaene has moved to the Philippines for ‘reasons unknown’, where he currently resides with his fifth wife and their 3 small children, all boys under the age of 10.

A ‘pardon’ which ‘Rev. Daniel Dhaene’ refers to in his voluminous rebuttal is not uncommon in Canada. A pardon is not a judicial reversal of a conviction, nor does it exonerate an ex-convict of his crime. It does make it easier for ex-convicts to gain employment, access housing and other essential services. A pardon cannot seal Police records and can be revoked by the Canadian Government at any time.

Reproduced here is an edited version of Reverend Daniel Dhaene’s letter. I’ve taken the liberty to cut lengthy Bible verses and statements which were overly offensive to my family members. I consciously leave in self serving justifications, rationalizations, untruths and half-truths in order that you the reader may experience a rare glimpse into the mind of a serial pedophile.

Sincerely,

The Question We Shouldn’t Ask About Rape

By: Donald D’Haene

Whenever I hear someone state there are options for women when they are being confronted by a potential rapist, a shiver runs down the length of my spine and a knot forms in the pit of my stomach. Nevertheless, I keep an open mind. Increasing public awareness is always a good thing, no? But when I hear someone say, “Perhaps rapists will think twice if they think they’ll meet fierce resistance,” those knots burst into frayed ropes. It’s not that I disagree that fighting off would-be rapists is appropriate in some cases. I just don’t want to see one more guilt trip dumped on women who have been sexually assaulted and are made to feel that not screaming and/or not fighting is labelled “do(ing) nothing”!

Boys will not be boys – on rape culture and denying girls selfishness

By: STARCHILD

When a little girl is held down against her will, adults will say ‘He doesn’t know better. He probably just likes you. Boys will be boys.” When that girl is a woman and is sexually assaulted, society tells her the same thing all over again.  READ MORE HERE

Am I crazy?

Am I depressed?

Does this only happen to me?

Why do I feel so lonely, so empty?

Why am I scared to interact with others?

Why I am I not as courageous and strong as the other guys?

Why do I feel that people hate me?

Why am I leading such a life?

I had to deal with such and a lot of other questions like these when the “black dog” (depression) started haunting me some years ago. It may be hard to believe that a 15-year-old boy would have to deal with something as serious as depression, but it is true for me and others like me ? people who have been victims of child abuse.
