Broke: "I'm glad pedophiles kill themselves." Woke: There should be preventative mental health services for potential offenders, so that they don't harm children and have the opportunity to live normal lives.

Well, homosexuality was also called a disorder and people were treated for it in an ineffective way. I totally agree we need to focus on treatment, but I’m not sure how you’re supposed to do that. Is there a proven “cure” for pedophilia?
No idea, but on face value adults should never be having any kind of sexual or romantic relationship with children. The difference in harm between pedophillic and homosexual relationships is the key difference between the two, inappropriate to compare them to begin with.

I wasn’t saying it was the same thing. I’m just saying if sexuality and attraction works the same way for pedophiles as with straight or gay people I don’t see how you’re supposed to treat it instead of just making it a suppressed desire, which doesn’t fix the issue

Norway is looking into how to handle this issue since we have a focus on rehabilitation rather than punishment and we don’t even know how to deal with it. Some suggestions have included chemical castration and such

I think it varies case by case and severity and causes. If the causes can be treated I’m sure it can be cured. Usually a cause is trauma as a child to begin with that never got help until adulthood. Others well it depends.

That’s true. I haven’t looked much into psychology beyond the basics so I wouldn’t know too much about how they treat these sorts of disorders, it just seems to me that in most countries you just go straight to jail regardless of how minor or big the offense is
-
That’s usually how it goes. I feel for CSA survivors who struggle with their trauma with no resources as children and adults. I hope as things progress more help becomes available.

Society has a long way to go on mental health issues for sure. The way I see it we are currently having an epidemic. This isn’t just something Zoloft alone will fix and I’m not sure we can ever have enough welfare and psychologists to help everyone sufficiently either :/
