It’s an unfortunate reality. The high stakes that come with those actions don’t seem to be effective, but neither will a vigilante witch hunt be likely…history tells us mistakes and intentional labeling will occur and innocent people will die. I think the family circle is the appropriate barrier. Worry about your own family and community and let others do the same. Legality is not the defining factor, but the legal framework still must protect everyone if sufficient evidence doesn’t exist. My judgement and hopefully yours doesn’t necessarily depend on sufficient evidence. The well being of affected individuals is paramount. Criminal justice is a complex series of issues humanity has been struggling with since our cultural inception. We have yet to get it right.

I’d like to go back to the point you were trying to make. Heterosexuals and homosexuals act out their sexual desires. For whatever reason, you seem to think there’s an exception for pedophiles but there actually isn’t.

I agree that sexual attraction is acted on given the right circumstance and a low consequence threshold. It’s the consequence threshold I focus on, as a father who raised a daughter I looked out for her well being with an unparalleled ferocity that most fathers can relate to. Progeny is a powerful evolutionary impetus. There are exceptions, generally though, I think this is the best current solution.

There are motivations in everyone that must be sequestered. Pedophilia, rape, murder, etc. These things are fairly common in the population, but largely caged by our culture and community dissent. Taboos have long been the driver of appropriate behavior.
