I thought pedophelia was like homosexuality in the sence that they can't help being that way. Now I didn't base this on anything. I just thought it was like this.
It doesn't make it alright though. As long as they don't take actions it's "fine". But I don't think you can make someone a pedophile. Like you can't convert someone into homosexuality.
But you can make someone do the same things they've experienced if thats all they know is right ofcourse.
A recurring theme from testimony from child-abusers (this is from collective memory, not-sourced) is that they, themselves, were victims of abuse when they were children. Reducing the number of victims is not only a grace to the potential victims... but it reduces the number of perpetrators in later years. Which further reduces the number of victims... ad infinitum.
The answer (if there is an answer) is to prevent existing paedophiles from the physical execution of their illness. I gave one possible answer to that.
