AUSTIN, Texas -- School officials fired an employee who published the pamphlet 'How to Have Sex With Kids,' in which he advocated babysitting jobs as a way to meet children as potential sex partners.
In a copyright story, the Houston Chronicle reported Friday that David Sonenschein, 43, a clerk in the district's central office, published the 17-page booklet.
The pamphlet reads in part, 'The point is none of it is 'sick' or 'sinful' or 'inappropriate.' It all ought to be just fun where nobody owes anybody and no one direction is 'best.''
In the pamphlet, Sonenschein advises the reader to use his job and friends as a source for sexual contacts.
'Sometimes you can get babysitting tasks or you can just take the kids places when they know you and know that the kids like being with you. Sometimes parents can introduce you to other kids, too,' it states.
John Ellis, superintendent of the Austin Independent School District, notified Sonenschein of his dismissal by formal letter and said he learned the man had used school district equipment to prepare and type the pamphlets.
'I have no idea why he would do such a dumb thing,' Ellis said. 'When you have an individual like this, you wonder where in the world he gets such perverted notions.'
The superintendent said he was tipped by another school district employee that Sonenschein was 'spending a lot of time' on the district's word processer. After checking the computer file, he found the material on file.
Houston police were tipped to Sonenschein's publishing activities when his name and address were found in the wallet of a man charged with manufacturing child pornography and sexually abusing a 6-month-old infant in Houston.
Sonenschein has published a number of pamphlets on pedophilia and is the associate editor of a newsletter published by Childhood Sexuality Circle, a California group that advocates sex between children and adults, the Chronicle reported.
