Where are the statistics which demonstrate that there are more paedophiles now that a generation ago?

Is sitting at home "doing what they do" and actively interfering with children the same crime, and should it be punished in the same way?

Was there no "market" for child pornography before the internet?

"On Dartmoor, where I used to live, the convicted paedeophile in our village, a young man, had his bungalow burnt out by the 'locals', whilst he was residing in prison for abusing some of their young boys. He never returned to the village."

Are you actually advocating this as an appropriate and defensible response? And where did that man go once his house burned down? Did he just disappear, or dud he go underground and anonymously into some other community who don't know his history?

Do you soncerely believe that all of these things are recent developments, and that the number of paedophiles has increased incrementally since the introduction of the internet?

Do you think people who are mentally ill in a way that society considers unacceptable deserve some level of treatment and compassion, or should they be hounded out of every community, named and shamed, and harrassed until they do the decent thing and top themselves?

Just a few questions...
