Contradiction?[edit]

Beginning in the late 1960s and continuing until the early 1990s, with the authorization and financial support of the Berlin Senate, Kentler placed neglected youth as foster children in the homes of single pedophile fathers for the purpose of resocializing them, while explicitly encouraging them to have sexual contact with their children.

At the end of the 1960s, in a model experiment, he placed several neglected 13 to 15-year-old boys, whom he considered "secondary mental defectives", with pedophiles he knew, claiming that this would reintegrate them into society under their care and to allow them to grow into mature adults.[8] Due to the criminal offence associated with it, he made this public only after its statute of limitations had expired more than a decade later.

Kentler did not hide the fact that he placed young people with pederasts he knew.

How could he have obtained authorization from the senate while still keeping it a secret? And, did he have authorization and financial support for the entire time range (late 60s to early 90s) or only for a portion of it?__Gamren (talk) 11:01, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this timing contradiction should be clarified. The New Yorker source in the article actually states that a boy named Marco was given a pederast foster father in 1988 and continued to live with him until 2003.--46.114.5.74 (talk) 20:01, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reference to "Zeig mal!"[edit]

There are several references to "the 1974 brochure Zeig mal!", with a broken link.

However, "Zeig mal!" is not a brochure but a book, and there's a wikipedia page on it: Show_Me!

That page also contains a link to English translation of Foreword to Zeig Mal! by Dr. Helmut Kentler, which gives insight into Kentler's views on pedophilia.
