A Lobotomy would work better in my opinion.

Lobotomy has actually been considered. Decades ago -early 70s, I think- scholars and researchers at a psychiatric university requested funding from the feds to study the brain activity of incarcerated child offenders and slice up the brains of deceased offenders to find out what part of the brain this behavior was coming from and whether or not severing it could stop the behavior.

idk if they got the funding. Probably not. Lobotomies had a really bad rep, everyone knew about Rose Kennedy's botched lobotomy by then, and technology wasn't advanced enough to determine the where and how anyway.

It is now, though. Let's go for it!!

Hang em. I wouldn't show any mercy or mess about.
The very thought of such crimes is repulsive.
Have the child's parents witness it, to provide closure.

I don't know why the US justice system doesn't do justice when it comes to sex crimes, and especially sex crimes against children. I assume it's because sexual deviance is classified as a mental illness and mental illnesses are treatable. ??

But if that's the reason I've never seen any proof that pedophilia was ever successfully treated with any sort of mental health therapy. And besides, our jails and prisons have the worst mental health care in the country, and that's saying a lot; mental health treatment is one of the things the US does very poorly (imo)....prescribe a nut-job some downers and we're done.

I totally agree. Today, in the US, prisons are our mental health facilities. If you can't afford a place like the Betty Ford Clinc, all you get is an orange jumpsuit and a new name- inmate 23-465.

Castration is the removal of the testes. Males still have a functioning delivery device, but no semen. Supposedly, removal of the testes reduces the testosterone levels, but that's not the only areas which produce testosterone. As a crime deterrent, it is questionable at best.

It's far and away the main manufacture of testosterone, responsible for 95%. It's also responsible for the sex drive. Without testes there would be no libido. Who knows? Without the sick desire the man may possibly reach a level of contentment he never had before.

Why do something like this when we can have the death penalty? Ain't no-one ever re-offended after the death penalty.

I don't think the US will ever bring back the death penalty, or use mutilation as punishment for any crime.

I bet it would if the US experiences a total collapse someday, though. I could see it happening then.

That's interesting. Probably true for pedos who feel guilt over their deviance. And they exist. Some pedos who have gotten therapy have told their therapists that they feel like garbage, basically.

Honestly, I'm not a big proponent for the death penalty. There have been too many mistakes when even one is too many. Not to mention everything else around it. I'm actually against the death penalty.

In this case though, we've got a truly heinous act that destroys a part of a person for a life time. The scars are horrendous, and you never out run them. If you're down to the point of hacking off body parts, then the death penalty seems to be reasonable. I mean, what are you preserving their life for?

It's really tough to feel any kind of sympathy for people who do this. Of all crimes, even murder, it's just beyond.

After castration, the libido is diminished, but not eliminated. A male is still fully functional, except there is no sperm.

My cousin Richard lost one testicle to cancer. This was quite a while back....20-some yrs ago. Anyway, when the surgeon wasn't absolutely certain the other one wouldn't have to go, too, Rich got the "just in case" speech.

Without hormone therapy, statistics showed he'd probably still have a healthy libido for a while - the body doesn't store testosterone, so doctors surmise that psychology has a lot to do with that - so, the drive would be there, but (again, without hormone therapy) getting and maintaining an erection would be extremely difficult, and after several weeks, virtually impossible.

Obviously, the surgeon was *strongly* recommending hormone therapy, letting Rich know that all was not lost even if he lost his balls. And he also talked to him about how some men actually get suicidal after this surgery. They get angry and depressed and resentful and all this, so the surgeon made a referral to a psychiatric counselor. That was basically an automatic thing back then; refer a guy to a psych counselor when you schedule him for the surgical removal of his testicles.

Fortunately, Rich still has one healthy, happy testicle. But my point is, even without hormone therapy, a pedo would still be a pedo after losing his nuts. Maybe he'd be even nuttier...a suicidal sicko; an angry, resentful sicko who doesn't care if he lives or dies.

Castration could make him even more dangerous.
