About this ebook
Based on the life and coded writings of violent pedophile Nathanael Bar-Jonah, Eyes of a Pedophile relates his evolution from religious beginnings to sexual crimes against children. This true crime story is written to educate parents, teachers and others working with children, including counselors and those in law enforcement.
Bar-Jonah’s behavior is classic for pedophiles and provides a window into the child predator’s mind. His actions are compared with what is known about pedophiles. Armed with this knowledge, care-givers are better equipped to recognize common traits and keep kids safer.
Pedophiles are men who focus on children for sexual gratification. For years, they effectively conceal their fantasies and silence their victims. Because pedophiles are prevalent in all areas of society, adolescence to old age and any profession, it is imperative people understand this incurable mental illness. They must recognize signs of abuse in a child too afraid to tell. Intervention is essential. Pedophiles must be reported. They will never stop.
Pathological lying and lack of remorse are prevalent traits; Bar-Jonah demonstrated both. He followed other common paths. He surrounded himself with children and gathered child attractants such as toys. He duped vulnerable women with children of his desired age and targeted disabled children who would be poor witnesses against him. Most of his victims knew him. Stranger abductions occur but most often, child predators are people you know, family members or in your circle of friends.
In the book, Bar-Jonah’s actions are correlated with psychopathic behavior. Discussions of the criminal mind, laws related to imprisonment of sex offenders and laws passed to help protect children are reviewed. Helpful appendices provide referral sources, pedophile characteristics, and suggestions to help keep children safer.

Reviews for Eyes of a Pedophile Detecting Child Predators
5 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I definitely wouldn't call the person "religious". Pedos use whatever situation they can that gets them around targets. There were many instances of this in this book. The subject matter is hard to give 5 stars for but I do only for the insight it gives on this beasts use of manipulation and opportunity. Very startling
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Nice to know information. But this type of individual is only .01% of the actual problem. The "others" are the seemingly normal ones, people like some of the reviewers who are closeted pedos with their kids. We'll never catch these true child predators before they strike, but we can start demanding that men and women who have a desire to raise children start being required to take polygraphs and mental health examinations prior to being given permission by the state to have children. And we should require the same of teachers, pedatricians, child care workers, and any one else desiring to engage with children. It's common knowledge that parents and other trusted adults are the ones at highest risk to harm a child, not the strangers. Strangers account for .oo1% of child abductions and sexual abuse in The USA! When a child is a victim of sexual abuse it's the pedo-parents and other family members responsible 90% of the time. So, we should be frightful of the parents first and foremost. These are the REAL monsters in the closet because they have had unfettered access to the closet all this time. God save the kids from them - because we sure aren't. We're too busy peddling the long debunked stranger-danger myth.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This riveting read provides such a graphic and detailed account of the manipulations of a smart, clever, religious pedophile.
Forewarned is forearmed.
