It is a fact that the only time pedophiles get our attention is when a child is hurt or abused. I am of the opinion that pedophilia is a sexual attraction that can be perceived as mental disorder, however disgusting, that we should handle scientifically not just by prosecution by the mass. Some people out there have urges for children but it is also true that some of them fight those urges and I believe they deserve psychiatric treatment. Could you imagine suffering from something you feel you want to do, yet you know is wrong. And not being able to reach out to anyone because of fear of being judged, not only by society but by the legal system as well.
Don't get me wrong -- child molestation is a criminal act and must be dealt with that way. But if we could reach out to someone earlier, wouldn't it also save a child?
