It is an illness like many others, ie wanting to kill people.
Should everyone who wants to do something nasty whatever it is be locked up then, not ideal I know but life.
There was talk of locking up ALL people with mental conditions, that's about half the country then, IN CASE they committed a crime.
Medication does work to control the urges, and IS effective.
My next door neighbours son is 3 times convicted paedo, and I have a son(10), so know it from both sides so to speak.
I would NEVER trust him alone with my boy, but as a person he is actually a very decent ILLNESS APART.
I did fear that I was going to be locked up as have brain damage that leads to psychotic tendencies, and have been detained under the mental health act twice, I know the difference between right and wrong though, paedo's don't always.
Yes some of them should be locked up all the time but some are ok if they can show they are taking their medication, if not lock those up as well.
