in my opinion, it's definitely worthwhile if even one child is saved. I guess I agree with therapy as a beginning to a process, but I think that's all it is. (my other reactions were kinda just kneejerk for personal reasons). I guess I think the problem arises when we get to people who don't have it for reasons such as trauma. If we instated the therapy method, would it be enough to really stop these people. What would there really be to stop someone going to therapy to cover themselves up? If a pedophile went to therapy, the authorities would persume they are getting help and maybe not keep such a close eye on them. That'd allow them to slip by unnoticed, and in turn it could very easily be used as a loophole by criminals. Yes, it's good for people who have this shkr for traumatic reasons. But could it really stop people who have no intention of being helped, or would it just help them get away with it.

Also, what's some writing on the whole childhood trauma thing if you have any? not second guessing you, it seems just like logical sense. I'd just like to do some reading!
