Paedophiles cannot be rehabilitated - you cannot change who you are attracted too. Those with dark triad traits are likely to physically offend, in every metric.
This is an extraordinary epidemic. There are a huge amount of men and woman (some studies estimate up to 4%) who are attracted to children. The police can’t cope. At some point we will have to address this.
It’s one thing having these uncontrollable thoughts - if you do and you are not looking at illegal material or physically abusing kids, we should absolutely help that person. However, if you are an adult and you rape or touch a child, your DNA has been found on their person, or you have been caught on video like this guy (undeniable guilt) you should be hanged. You have ruined a life and forfeited your own.
If it’s kids testemonials only, then life imprisonment is the fair option (guilt not undeniable).
How do we address this epidemic? I’d like to see fenced off communities created away from built up areas where we encourage those young men (and women) who are coming to the realisation of what they are to opt out of society.
They’d have their own small flat, shared with other potential dangers. They’d have all the medical help and support possible, no under 18 contact and crucially supervision from family at all times on the rare occasion they leave the centre. Crucially they’d be taken out of society, and as such would not be able to offend.
If they broke any of these conditions they would be prosecuted and locked up. I think we’d happily pay taxes to remove potential offenders from society.
