Thanks in large part to a dream I had the following idea for a scene; I am unaware at this moment if it will end up being more than a scene, but I digress.
A man, a pedophiliac in the sex offender registry, is so mentally ill that he is unaware of his illness. He goes to his old elementary school when the littlest kids get out with his CD player in tow, listening to it, and honestly believes that he is watching a movie with scenes filmed right here at his old school rather than satisfying this sick need of his.
When someone notifies a woman, presumably a teacher, of his presence he closes his eyes as if to give more credence to his ludicrous idea of watching a movie with a CD player by allowing himself to say, "I'm imagining it; I have a very vivid imagination." But when the woman comes over and challenges this idea he goes bonkers, most likely as a combined result of his word being challenged and him realizing that she is right and that he is doing something altogether different and while he is not entirely sure what he is doing he knows it is good, especially not with how the woman, and everyone else there, is looking at him.
And so he sprints off away from the school, tearing the headphones from his head/ears and slamming the CD player off the sidewalk, bashing it again and again until it is broken into little enough pieces for him to feel as if he has accomplished something with his burst of anger and that he cannot do much more damage.
So, my question is, is this plausible? Can someone with a mental illness, namely pedophilia, really be so ignorant of his or her own problems?
