prevention is the only reasonable measure.



Excellent piece.

At the same time though I think it should be emphasized that felons who have been convicted of pedophiliac child abuse should

automatically be liable for lifelong constant monitoring. May that be an ankle bracelet or physical surveillance by authorities.

The question of civil liberties of course comes up and it's a rightful argument , but I think if one has failed to control himself once ,

he should automatically forfeit that particular right.

There are circumstances where the rights of the state surpass the rights of the individual.
