Dear friends,

I have to tell you the sad news that Sylvia Tanner died on Oct 17th after several months of severe illness. She was a very special person to anyone who knew her. Well, most of you probably won't know who Sylvia Tanner was. She was someone we paedophiles should remember fondly. Sylvia was a lady from Switzerland who ran a private counseling for paedophiles. You can find her (very informative) website at www.itp-arcados.net.

She was mostly known among the German BLs. She, being a family mother of two boys, started her counseling after a tragic incident where a friend of the family (and of her boys) committed suicide. He was a BL. Sylvia has made contact with thousands (yes, thousands!) of BLs and GLs over the years and can rightly be called a real expert on the topic. Her knowledge found a way into science through her support for studies - among others one by Horst Vogt (very interesting, I took part in it too) and she was invited as honory member of the GSW (Gesellschaft für Sexualwissenschaften), a highly renowned scientific society. She financed her passionate work all by herself and she had always been there for "her boys", as she called us. If you were in bitter need of someone to listen, you could call her any time of day or night (can you imagine what that means!?). She managed to convince the police and the people of her village that her work was good, legal and she was a trustworthy person. It took long years but the effect was amazing!

In that village you could go for a walk with her and people knew that most probably you were a paedophile and you would be greeted nicely or would even be given some vegetables to take along. I have witnessed this and yes, it was amazing! She was mostly known among the BL community but she learned to know a few GLs too. (Including me.) In our talks we found that BL and GL really aren't that different. (A point of view I always favoured) - in fact, the most important aspects are just the same. She has helped many people in need over the years. She has made many friends. Many paedos found their way to cope with their lives inspired by her counseling. Her rules were strict: no illegal activities! No porn. And you had to be honest. But that was necessary. She was a kind of mother for many and often the first person people ever came out to. I am sincerely convinced that Sylvia saved many lives! Her death will leave a huge gap and we mourn the loss of a very special loved one. :'-(
