Brazen piece of shit is lucky to even be still breathing.
Motherfucker needs to be under monitoring for the rest of his days only because we just can't string him up from a sour apple tree today. Have seen WAY too many cases of these types of predators, both in print and on Youtube documentaries. It is no different from escalation of a serial killer from masturbating to cheap slasher flicks, to torture of small animals, to full blown Jeffrey Dahmer. This POS here is in the secondary stage of pedophilia, where he had emerged from a coccoon of just fantasizing and most likely binge watching CP, to seeking stronger thrills by actually physically accosting a minor. The next stage in these fuckers' progression would be abduction and possibly murder of their targets. There is NO "finding salvation" or "Jesus" or whatever for these types. The more straightforward ones admit it on police interrogation tapes that they "cannot control it". Those who say they "can control the urges" are flat out lying. Because they CAN'T. They cannot live in normal communities because they WILL offend. This shit is only comparable to medieval legends of lycanthropy.
I pray for that little boy and hope that this encounter will not traumatize him into his developing years. FUCK these types of scumbags. As if we are not already living in a world full of despotic degenerates...
My first wife was a psychiatrist. Yeah, maybe I was some sort of experiment that failed....
When she was writing her dissertation, I would proof read it for her. Every iteration.
Hers was about child molesters and their rehabilitation. Some interesting and alarming reading.
It turns out that a high percentage (high 90's, I forget the actual numbers) of pedophiles were victims as children. Her theory, along with some supporting documentation, was that their first pleasurable sexual experience was that of being molested, even though they knew it was not right. It is learned behavior and not some sort of genetic mutation, but it cannot be unlearned. Not all victims grow up to become offenders but almost all offenders were victims.
Sorta like how some guys prefer fat chicks and others have a real thing for red heads...you just can't help yourself. (I wish my first experience had been with a super wealthy chick...)
Even though they know it's not right (pedophiles), they still find that relationship to be the epitome. They can't help themselves, they cannot control the urge to recreate that sick as fuck relationship.
Rehab? Nope. Not ever. There has NEVER been a documented case of true rehabilitation.
The cycle continues and feeds itself.
What's the solution? Death. Kill every single one of them ASAP. Do not allow them to continue to rape more children, potentially making more of their sick ilk. CLOSELY monitor and counsel the victims to prevent them from repeating this crime. Once they do, death, ASAP.
It might take a few generations but eventually there would be no more of the victims that become pedophiles themselves.
That leaves us with the remaining small percentage of sick fucks...
These tended to be those of low to very low IQ, unable to determine right from wrong in most any situation. I'm old enough to remember the supervised group homes that have primarily been defunded and dismantled for whatever reason. These served a viable function for society by keeping the rest of the population safe(r) from those types. These people also were safer in those homes than out on the street living under a bridge.
