I disagree. IMHO, I believe molesters were molested at some time probably in their childhood. But I have no scientific and/or behavioral evidence to back up that belief.

I think you may be right. Ive read that people's sexuality begins to form in their pre puberty years. Experiences in those early years is what tends to develope as they grow. Either way, I say if you molest a kid you loose your freedom for ever.

That certainly appears to be true in a great number of cases, but not all. There is undoubtedly some statistical evidence, but I couldn't point to it at the moment.

I was told that something sexual happened to them in childhood and their sexuality was "arrested" at this point. It doesn't happen to everyone. But that is reason why children should not be exposed to porno esp brutal porno.

I believe it is so important to keep our children away from porno or other sexual behaviors (ie peeping).

You're right, but add in a generally $hitty childhood and you get a molester. They are not treatable in any way, shape, or form. Anyone who believes otherwise hasn't looked into it, or is denying the truth for their own reasons.
