Pedos just don't get cured. They don't. Ever.
So no matter the root causes of their pedophilia, how much therapy they're given, or even if they put the whole incident behind them and honestly changed their lives, they're still Pedos and hence still deserve damnation for what they repented against?
I am sorry, but such defeatist attitudes disgust me. I know, I know, you suffered a horrible experience in the past, and I'm sorry for that. But we should aim for the decrease of all harmful behaviors, no matter if they seem "permanent." If we humans just deemed some illnesses "incurable" and left it at that, what kind of society would we be living in today?
No, I am not standing up for Pedos. I am standing up for all who wish to help themselves, and the hard work of scientists and psychologists who wish to provide that help.
I have psychology class and we just had a class about pedophilia...it's being said that the relapse quota is extremely high. I only got german articles but you can say it's about 50%. That's the double percentage than a "normal" sexual abuser.
Einmal einschlägig straffällig gewordene Pädophile unterliegen einer hohen Rückfallgefahr. Internationale Studien haben ergeben, dass die Rückfallquote bei ihnen mit etwa 40 bis 50 Prozent etwa doppelt so hoch ist wie die durchschnittliche Quote für Sexualstraftäter von 22 Prozent (Egg 2001).
So one out of two have a relapse. I'm sorry. Does hating pedophiles make me a bad person? In Germany, there are so many kids raped and murdered these days because some psychologists say *that they've recovered* and release them just so that the already convicted person can rape another kid. How awesome. Let's believe in the good of all people. Yay.
I'm sorry, I believe in the bad of all people. Everyone is evil somewhere, somehow. I rather codemn too much than put someone I care about at risk.
