    Behind the Bastards this week talked about a plan in Germany to have homeless kids cared for by pedophiles in the 70s-90s. Sex offenders just have really big hearts apparently.

      That one was way more deranged. The Senate of Berlin allowed Helmut Kentler to send orphans and other kids that had to be removed from their parents to pedophiles’ homes with the logic that since pedophiles “love” children they would treat them better than the average foster family. And it went all the way from the 1960s to the 1990s (which meant that some kids were stuck with the pedophiles until the 2000s because removing them would blow the cover up).
