Pedophiles, don't they deserve to be castrated?

The penalties for those who prey on children is disgustingly mild. I agree with you 100% that a few years in jail is simply not enough. Those who are victimized face a lifetime of pain as a result of what has happened to them.\n\nBut, castration will not solve the problem. Sexual abuse is about controlling and humiliating the victim and surprisingly has very little to do with sex. \n\nThose who have the potential to commit these crimes will find another way to abuse their victims. Penetration is not the only way to sexually abuse a child. You would be horrified by how creative these monsters can be. And castration will not take away the desire.\n\nThe good news is that some states have started to enact laws to make the punishment of sex offenders more severe. New York state just passed a law that would make the penalty for at least one offense, life in prison (I believe it's 1st degree rape of a child, but I can't be sure). The expansion of the sex offender registry and the establishment of child advocacy centers is also crucial to the fight against these vile individuals.\n\nWe can all do our part by writing to our state politicians to expand resources available to child victims and to make the laws tougher on pedophiles.

For the same reason they can't be castrated - you'd get folk moaning about breaching their human rights, civil liberties etc, though if you ask me, you commit a sexual offence, you give up your right to be treated like a human being

Its easy to assume a man won't be sexual if he doesn't have his nads.  The problem is that most sex crimes are not about sex, they're about control-dominance.  I believe they should be castrated for the deterrant effect, but I don't assume he'll be safe around vulnerable just because he's missing the equipment to make it sexual.

There are more unconvicted pedophiles walking about and working in the school system unbeknownst to anyone.  Although convicted, rights are still granted to them with strict rules about distance to children, etc.  Each city and state makes those laws, so I would encourage you to seek legislation about the matter depending on where you live.  In my opinion, pedophiles should be inhumanely sent to an island in the middle of nowhere with nothing but a volleyball for a companion.

I think that if someone goes to what the person believes is a minor's place with the intent of having sex with that minor is sick.  It's not like there aren't enough legal aged people out there to have sex with.\nThey are sick and should be thrown in jail, and then have there scrotal sac removed.

They've been brain-washed by an anti-sex society.\nI would hope you would do the one thing you can about this:  Make up your own damn mind about it and act accordingly.

i agree. i think it should be legalized because, then rapist and everybody will go to the hookers and not rape or molest little kids. but no matter legalized or unlegalized, sex offenders will always want the kids. i think it is because of their innocence. this is just my opinion. i know somebody who has been molested before. the guy that did it had already had sex before. but he still did it for some reason i guess the person  will never know.

I still dont understand where are the parents of those underage children. \n\n   Nudity at that age should be private and should deserve respect and dignity not publicity. Sadly it becomes a business , I dont think is a moral or ethical business dealing with children that do have rights. Who is helping them fighting for their rights?\n\n    For other´s is art...thats the excuse or justification.

I think if they deserve then they would have a significate other. If they loses their virginity with just anyone and doesn't have anything special to give for his/her special one I don't think he/she may have such special one.

Castration is an option.\n\nSo are ugly girls.

I believe child molesters don't get the long prison terms they deserve- not to mention the castration they need.

I think like that, but I'm also a big fan of "punishment should fit the crime," too. For these child molesters out here who think it's okay to do kids and babies that way, they need to tie them over a fifty gallon drum and shove a fence post up their ass. Repeatedly. then cut their penis off, stuff it in their mouth, and sew their lips shut around it.\n\nI'm mean, ain't I?

They should be awarded capital punishment, even in countries where it has been abolished.\nBy molesting someone you are destroying that persons life, maybe mentally too. Imagine the agony that some victims have to undergo day in and out as long as they are alive when they relive those ghastly moments. Comparatively, killing the perpetrators is a lot more humane. \nst

Children are the only thing that's sacred remaining in this world. People who hurt kids should be punished severely. Yes, that is an excellent idea, in my opinion- to sterilize criminals who have harmed innocent kids (every kid is innocent, because they are defenseless against larger adults). If they are prevented from having any other kids, that would help give at least some degree of assurance that they wouldn't fall into recidivism. But on the other hand, measures might need to be taken to prevent any offender from adopting other children, and measures to prevent an offender from working around kids, too. Prison time would also be a good idea- and sterilization. If the individual ever got out of jail, then they would not have any immediate children to harm.

Pedophiles shouldn't be permitted to walk at all.   They should have their spines snapped and forced to crawl like the low life scum that they are.
