Child molestation is the absolutely most repugnant crime. I would go insane if it was my kid. I would be thinking the same things that alot of you voiced but at the same time...

it is not that I wish to be lenient with child molesters, it is that I think vigilante justice is not the way to run a society. period.
if you disagree, I suggest you move to south africa.

"Arguing that the prevalence of evil presents a fundamental problem for our secular sensibility, John Kekes develops a conception of character-morality as a response. He shows that the main sources of evil are habitual, unchosen actions produced by our character defects and that we can increase our control over the evil we cause by cultivating a reflective temper."
