"it is a fact that pedophiles can not be rehabilitated"

Kendall - are you sure its a fact? Have you any evidence to back that statement up? If you dont have any, then its just an opinion. If you do, I can provide you with plenty of evidence that it is not true.

And perhaps people out there don't know, but being a paedophile is not a crime. Abusing a child is a crime, but having the inclination to do so is not. There are non abusing paedophiles out there - many not getting any help with their problem because if they mention it they will automatically be labelled as "sick".
