Well, I use to chuckle when I'd hear some of my overzealous brothers on this site mention that the next step in the dismantling of societal norms was when paedophilia would begin to be tolerated and pushed towards mainstream acceptance. Amazingly it seems we might be on the verge of something like that.
Do not jail all paedophiles, says police chief.
To stop paedophiles, we need to help them.
Yet, if one reads the above articles, are there situations where rehabilitation is preferred to ostracism? Is treating those who aren't too far gone viable and realistic? Or is the idea of tolerating and understanding their behaviour a precursor to the gradual acceptance and normalisation of paedophilia?
