We need to better understand what causes pedophilic tendencies, so that the environmental, social and genetic factors can someday be removed.

Otherwise children will always be at risk from people who have perverse intentions, whether that person is responsible or not for those intentions.

I don't think it'll ever be gotten rid of. At it's core, pedophilia is a fetish, not functionally different from being into feet. And like some fetishes, it doesn't mean a person will ever act on it.

I'm sure that many of them hate the fact that they are wired wrong. What really needs to happen is for them to have the ability to seek professional help without worrying about legal repercussions.
