Re: Unmasking

"I have mentioned this a few times in these sorts of topics but we need to differentiate someone with a pathological attraction children and should be identified as having an illness the same as alcoholism or cleptomania and treated, opposed to the other sadistic sort that are into children purely to cause harm."

You forget possibility #3. It's not so much an illness as a defect like sociopathy. You can identify it, but as it's an inborn trait of the individual, there's nothing you can really do to correct it, just as you can't correct a true sociopath (they just try to find ways around you and lie to your face--remember, true sociopaths can fool a polygraph). True inborn pedophiles will just live double lives to both fulfill their fundamental desires while covering their tracks.
