The reason I ask is because I was in this situation not to long ago (an hour ago, actually). There is this guy I met through one of my friends who seemed pretty cool. We hung out a few times in the past and talked now and again. Well a few days ago I heard that he is a convicted and registered child molester. At first I didn't believe it but my friend took me to that website where they list sex offenders and there he was. Apparently he goes by more names than the one he told me and my friend in order to keep people from finding out about him. Well today he texted me and I completely flipped out on him. I called him a pervert, a pedophile, sick, disgusting, I told him he needed help, told him never to contact me again, etc. I feel kinda bad because I can tell I hurt his feelings but then again I really have no respect for people who take advantage of children like that (i.e. if my best friend molested a child we would no longer be friends) so all respect for him went down the drain. Do you think I was too harsh/unsympathetic or would you have done the same thing?

Nope none at all, unless of course the individual has no understanding of their actions (i.e. if the molester/pedophile has a serious mental disorder) But if they are well aware of what they did, i have no sympathy for them.

I have no sympathy, but I have no irrational hate either. They need help to prevent them from harming children.

I dont like child molesters.

But I like seeing people release their hate upon them because society deems that its okay. Shows how sheepish people are.

No... with the possible exception of where their urges are too strong for them to control. But I'm not sure if that ever really happens anyway.

I have no sympathy for child molesters/pedophiles. They don't belong to the human race. If I had my way, they wouldn't be sitting in prison, living on the taxpayer's dime. They'd be dead.

I'm not sure if that was supposed to be an indirect insult or what but I didn't release hate upon him because society told me to, I did it because I hate when an adult can find it in themselves to take advantage of a child like that on top of a my sister coming close to being a victim of child molestation by someone else in my family (needless to say I don't speak to that family member anymore even though I see them frequently through association).

Depends on the person. Sometimes it's not something they can control because of a mental illness.

The way I see it, he shouldn't be forgiven for molesting the child, however, if he's made an effort to improve himself and never do it again, then I don't see why you would lash out at him like that. Most people who are attarcted to children can't really help it. Some have stronger desires than others and end up actually doing something that they may regret later. As long as he doesn't repeat the offense, I don't think it's right to hold it against him for the rest of his life.

im just saying people are filled with hate anyway, now they just throw it at racists, molesters and global warming deniers as opposed to minorities now.

Sympathy should be reserved exclusively for their victims. People who harm children should be imprisoned. They should be issued different, brightly colored prison cover-alls so that they can be easily identified by all the other inmates as child molesters/pedophiles. Then they should be turned out into the General [prison] Population. That's just my take on them, anyway...

He'll need a friend to dissuade him from doing these kinds of things.

Some slight sympathy for the pedophiles who've not done anything wrong, they're effectively cursed with an unnatural attraction that'll probably end up destroying them. As for the actual molestors (not always actually pedophiles), no sympathy, even the ones that made "one mistake" need heavy punishment, and as for the the serial ones that just do it for fun over and over, they need to be executed, they're not fit for this world.

It doesn't matter how bad the crime is, no human has the right to murder somebody else. That would be me tying my opinion of the death penalty into this discussion.

I find it unfortunate and a bit sad that they must have everyone know what they did and always have to be considered a threat and have their lives ruined, yes, but no, I'm not really sympathetic towards them either. the crime they commit is pretty awful, and they should have known the consequences of commiting the crime.

I think you could only be harsh if you reject him like that after he has put that crime he committed in his past and has tried to moveo n to better things.

I'm going to make a thread with a very similar topic, but much different situation.

I am talking about people who believe that a pedophile should die. Nobody has the right to decide who should or shouldn't die.

So is molesting a child. If you have children someday, you may understand. If someone raped your child, you'd probably want to kill that person.

I kinda feel sorry for pedophiles. It's a mental disorder to be attracted to children and they do need help. However, those who go out to fulfill their desire (child molesters), should die and go to a special place in hell.

It's not like they choose to be mentally ill. I do and I don't feel sympathy for them. I do in the sense that they cannot help who they are and don't in the sense that so many of them never actually get help when they know they need it.

You have to take into consideration that even though these people are weird, their actions are mostly caused by either a bad childhood themselves or because they where abused or never had any dating experience, etc.

I think you need to find out exactly what he did first, some people put on those lists have actually done nothing really wrong. Saw on this show a few weeks ago that a man was on the list because he had consensual sex with seventeen year old. Now They are are married and have like three kids, and he's still on the list.

But for the others whose being on the list is justified, I don't have much respect or sympathy for them, They have to prove themselves worthy of society first.
