A lot of people talk about hanging all pedophiles and it's a hashtag. Obviously there's a reasonable explanation for why people feel so strongly. But what my question is is about is the pedophile who is attracted 2 underage persons but hasn't been caught or convicted. Perhaps there are people who can live like this and never break the law. But what are the chances that some sort of pornography or some kind of activity happens in their lifetime? Id think it likely. I don't know enough about what the future holds or how many people live like that and never do anything wrong. But my poll is what would you have done if anything to these people if you had ultimate control and there would be no backlash from your decision? If you answer 4 hanging them I list that as the death penalty option as it seems most appropriate. If you wouldn't care list in the comments why they would deserve the punishment. I suppose there wouldn't have to be reason but it would be wrong to not explain why they deserve the punishment. For example I have an explanation for it but I'm not going to to go into that here. I try to be objective as possible when dealing with anything

The real question here is how could you identify them without an offense?

If their moral compass leads them
to come forward and confess the nature of their attraction, then therapy is definitely necessary as well as prophylactic measures to restrict/prevent contact with children and ensure they won't act on that perversion.

It's pretty tricky & complicated. A pedophile is not always a child molester. However, a child molester is always a pedophile. It's not fair to punish individuals who have never committed any crimes or acted on their sick fantasies.

Otherwise if they lost the battle against those impulses and harmed a child, then the situation changes drastically. I'd go for the most painful punishment in said judicial system.

@SW-User actually, not all child molesters are pedophiles. Many psychopaths will rape children without necessarily being attracted to them because of the need for power and control and because children are easy targets.

@basilfawlty89 Well, that's debatable. They must be pedophiles to think of children as sexual targets in the first place. Otherwise they can exhibit their need for power and control in a different, non-sexual way.

Also, they don't have to be merely attracted to children. The term is non-exclusive pedophiles, I believe.

@SW-User That's the whole point. They're not "sexual targets." Sex is simply the weapon wielded.

I disagree.

Sex is their weapon, but in that instance, children are their target.

When you have a gun (weapon) you got to aim it somewhere (target). Or when you have a pen (weapon) you may write on paper or walls or whatever (target).

The fact that those psychopaths seek children as [b][u][u]sexual[/u][/u][/b] partners/preys and can see them in that light, means that they are pedophiles. It should not be treated lightly. Regardless of the motive.

Children may not be their one or only target i.e they could target adults too. Hence the term non-exclusive pedophile.

In a similar fashion – if they go after animals to control, using sex, then they are zoophiles. If they target humans too, then they are non-exclusive zoophiles.

The motive doesn't change a thing, as long as they choose to use [b][u]sex[/u][/b] to express it, when they could've opted for something else.

@SW-User Pedophiles and violent rapists bear almost no comparison either way. Rapists can be incidental pedophiles and some pedophiles rape others, but neither is dependent on the other and rarely are they seen together.
