And maybe we don't punish them properly either.
Punishing them won't change them. I've read somewhere that child molesters have a 95% "reocurrance" rate after they get out. That's the reason some lawmakers try and create laws to keep them in prison indefinately, and the reason behind "registration" laws. But I do wonder, like as said, if the huge pornographic availability doesn't encourage them. The man that I referenced had child porno on his cell phone, and the police are always confiscating puters that have that crap on them. Still, even though I abhor their behavior, I feel a little sorry for them. It must be a horrible curse for them to have their brain wired so wrong.
I read somewhere that most of the offenders were victims of sexual predators themself when they were children. I wonder how many of these victims will grow up and commit the crime committed against them.
We must learn to break the cycle some how. We may need to get serious about helping children deal with the damage done in these cases as prevention. It could save them from a horrible future.
Oh and notice I said properly.
I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.
Edgar Allan Poe
