Belief in god and a sexually repressed society is not the best safeguard against this crime...and yes it is a crime wether its genetically motivated or not...as PM said the victims are children and not consenting so they MUST be protected!

ANYTHING in excess is dangerous, so to say ban sexuality to protect from this excess is ludicrous. We are logical adults and can ban drunk driving for instance WITHOUT having to ban ALL alcohol...seperate the harmful and unwanted WITHOUT reverting centuries backwards!

Research is vital to see how we can deal with this issue...even if it is genetic, then we need to try and isolate the causes and see IF it can be chemically cured (for example), or isolate and monitor (not in prison, but a controlled environment with no "unmonitored access to minors for instance" environment) those who suffer from it, so that they do not victimize children.

It IS a taboo subject and it is schocking how little we know about this "so much more prevalent than we want to believe" issue. Kudos for bringing it up Gypsy.

Stay safe all.

Perfection does not exist. The question therefore, is: what level of imperfection are we willing to settle for?
