Lascap, the last thing I read about recovery statistics said that less than 2% of child molestors recover. That's a pretty pathetic recovery rate to suggest that hospitalisation will do much more than delay the inevitable. In most cases, it lets them know what they are doing is sick and wrong, so that when they go out and do it again, they can now add an additional scoop of self-loathing and anger to their treatment of their victims. If we can't fix them, we have to do what we can to stop them.

Mme Z,
First of all, my apologize if I offended you in any way.
I know this topic isn't an easy one for you.
Still, I can't believe you're in favoured death penalty.
Also knowing that imposing the death penalty on child molesters could cause more problems than it solves. For people who hope to minimize the destructive effects of child abuse on the victims, who are mostly related to their attackers, the idea of hanging a death penalty over child molesters seems counterproductive. They say children would be less likely to come forward if they knew their assaulter,
someone they might love, were facing capital punishment.
If this child think that Daddy or Uncle Jack is going to be killed, they won't come forward. That's not what they want. They want him to get treatment.......
Also probably most Supreme Courts will rule that the death penalty is excessive punishment for a rape assault.
I really believe that this must be fight by a different approach, like an illness.
It's an mental disorder and more effort most go the healing this disorder. There are many methods to work with, like the so-called drama therapy and cognitive therapy and they are medicine. Even an chemically castration with doses of a drug called Depo-Provera or finally full castration. I think the focus must be on research of treatment and not on unethical tracking down via internet search tools.
This will creating a false security and not dealing with the real problem.
Also again, not all sex offenders listed are child rapers as aloofman stated es well.
