My little grandson just turned 10 years old and I can't help but compare this 10 year old child to him. There is nothing sexy or alluring about a 9 or 10 year old child, but then again that is not a prerequisite for child molesters. It's about power and self gratification.
regardless of therapy and time passing and all that -- will never be trustworthy around a child again and should be completley removed from society because of that.
Child molesters have the highest recidivsm of any other crime known to man. This is a known, published, well-documented fact. They cannot be rehabilitated, yet in our brave new world, the psychiatric industry is hell bent on feeling good about itself and giving little Johnny Child Molester another chance, study him some more, write another article for some medical journal. All that happens is another child's life is in ruins. These people are predators just as animals in the wild are predators. Even a domesticated dog still has predatory instincts because it is innate in them. No amount of dog training or animal psychology can make Fido not be a predator.
Until the judical system and the psychiatrists can look at these "people" as the animals they are, they will continue to prey on our children with a slap on the hand here and there.
My only addition to what you've written is that I'd also include felines/cats in the list of predators who are by nature so.

The rest, I completely agree with you.
