Do you genuinely believe that a child molester is carefully and rationally considering the risks and rewards and expecting to get caught? Are we supposed to entrust child molesters with the job of protecting our kids? To me it just seems like coping 100%. We can't catch one guy, so we're going to hurt the other guy twice as much to compensate and make us feel better.

Well I hope we will get all the guys. If sterilization doesn't work there is still death penalty. There is no taboo to protect children
Maybe so, but there is a taboo against virtue signalling and self indulgent coping mechanisms. The death penalty isn't really much different in that respect.
In any case, I wish for a world where children could and would snitch and fight back against rapists without negative consequences.
