Its just like when someone tried to justify to me on how people use to marry off there young teen to a way older man for purpose of financial gain or on that line!
I'm really on the fence about this. People who molest children definitely need to go to prison. But, there is an issue when you use the word "pedophile". A pedophile is anyone who is sexually attracted to children. I agree that these thoughts should never be acted on, but I am completely against punishing someone just because they thought of something. That is something known as a "Thought crime", and it is impossible to really control what you think especially when these thoughts are being caused by something as intrinsic as sexual attraction.
tl;dr If they molest someone, send them to prison. If they don't molest anyone, then let them stay in society.
You can't arrest people for thought crimes. If we could, most of us would be convicted murderers by the time we're 18. Thinking is rarely the issue, it's when people take step toward acting out those thoughts that things become a problem.
These folks need help. The more you demand them go to jail or die without having acted the more likely they will because why the hell not if thats how they'll end up anyway. Its a sad cycle. Jail the ones who did the act but send the ones who havent to see someone to help them.
In case any of you might think it's real, it originated from 4chan. (but there are actually people trying to justify paedophilia. Count Dankula made a video on them)
My honest opinion is that it is just an unfortunate sexual attraction that cannot be helped. Telling a pedophile to stop being attracted to young children is like telling a homosexual person to stop being attracted to the same gender. It cannot be done. It is ingrained in their DNA. Instead of looking down on the people and seeing them as sick, teach them the coping skills to not act on their urges, create a tinder like app that connects pedophiles with legal adults who look a lot younger than they really are. Help them instead of ostracize them. And if you want to know why we should do that, think of it like this. Every pedophile we assist in functioning in society is at least one child saved.
tl;dr If they molest someone, send them to prison. If they don't molest anyone, then let them stay in society.
