    Wrong. Every pedo in prison is one WHO HAS ALREADY ABUSED A CHILD, whether directly or indirectly. There is an argument to be made, and some studies that show, that dealing with Minor Attracted People before they cross the line can be effective. Unfortunately, to do this we need to be able to have a logical and civil conversation about the topic, and the current political climate does not allow for that conversation to be had. The consequence is that preventable crimes are not being prevented, and more children are suffering for it in the long run.

      People are locked up all the time for just possessing child porn without having abused anyone. This isn’t a bad thing because they are a danger to society.

        No, they are not locked up because they’re a danger to society. They’re locked up because possessing CP is indirectly contributing to the abuse of the child involved.
