I would still be their friend and support them 100%.
I wouldn't let them be unsupervised around my kid, but then again, why would you trust anybody alone and unsupervised with your kid.
I would probably try and limit contact between them and my kid for both their sakes.
I mean, they didn't have to tell you. If you get angry you'll drive them back into their shell and you will be partially responsible for the help they didn't receive and anything they do to any other kid.
If you tell others, they will feel you've abused their trust and will probably call you a liar and not get help.
I sometimes feel that people who call paedophiles monsters and whatnot are possibly doing it to prove to others that they are not in the same category, rather than thinking about the kids they could save by trying to be more understanding about the issue and being part of a real solution.
Let's face it, abusing and punishing them has not worked as a deterrent so far.
It would be better to have the paedophiles who have never committed a crime onside.
