Do you think people that are gay are mentally ill? Do you think those people choose specifically to be attracted to people from the same sex? A lot of the same things can de said about people that are attracted to kids.

I'm not trying to say we should in any shape or form tolerate child abuse. But it's important that we recognize that there are people like this and they didn't choose to be that way. People have no problem to talk about punishment, but don't like to also accept that they are also victims in a way.
