You can't vet someone to see if they are a paedophile or not though, can you? So again, this is all just basic safety. Of course you check the background of everyone. I wouldn't suggest otherwise. But how does making it harder for paedophiles to get treatment and support have any relevance to this, by letting them know you'll ostracise them if you find out?
I don't know anything about anyone. But I don't ostracise people who might do things. Every man might kill me. But I don't ostracise them all because of it. All paedophiles know they will get this rejection by society, because everyone says it all the time. What does it achieve, to tell them that? Wouldn't it be better to let them know we'll be understanding?
How would you treat pedophilia so that you could be relatively sure those with that inclination didn't violate the law?
