There have always been child molesters. That was one of the facts of life and children packed around in groups in our neighborhood. If someone was funny with one of the children, they were driven out of town. We grew up not so far from the old days of tar and feathers.
Yes but now they feel entitled to molest kids. The easier access to porn has led them to believe that sex with kids is "normal". Catching them has become easy because they are so brazen now.
Yes, but in the old days, they were sent to prison and were permanently dealt with by the other inmates.
In 1950 we were advised by our teachers to avoid approaching strangers in cars as there were reported attempts by such an individual to lure kids up to the car, then grab them. One difference today seems to be the apparent increase in the numbers of people turned on by kids, the lack of standards governing sexual conduct, the easy access to pornographic pictures, corrupt office holders, and of course the rather large “forgiveness” crowd.

Driving Chester The Molester out of town was mere mob rule. Those were truly savage days. Chickens were killed and their feathers used in those barbarous mob events.
Now we have enlightened courts, social workers to counsel any and all, psychologists, psychiatrists, and lawyers beyond number - all working to make you and your child safe.
Can’t you see how much more safe we are? /sarc
