Yes . They need to be punished . You seem to be misunderstanding me . I ' m not just trying to be a bleading heart saying Oh let them go . Or just give them help , they ' re just poor sick people ! I ' m saying that intentionally torturing people who commit such heinous acts is not the right decision or even mindset . Those who clamour for such barbaric and inhumane punishments is just disregarding the fact that these are people . We ' re scared , this concept of human indecency and immorality is incredibly frightening . We need to protect our children , just like our species has been doing for thousands of years , that much is certain . I agree that these types of violent pedophiles deserve punishment , that much is blatantly certain . But the fact that this child molestationtrafficing etc . is a thing that exists , and will continue to exist in modern society will not be solved by simply torturing these HUMAN BEINGS to death . Doing such hateful things does nothing but remove merely one of these people from the world and removes some of our own humanity in the process . It makes us nothing more than monsters as well .
