I definitely agree that there should be more sympathy for paedophilia as a condition or illness, but we cannot forget that they are dangerous and should still be in conditions where they cannot do any harm by acting on their urges.
What do you mean by 'condition'? Chemical castration? Should we also imprison socio/psychopaths before they hurt/kill someone? That's not an argument, it's a question. Should we?
Well, you would want to be prudent is all and as adults do, treat each situation with care and respect. But if you have someone who is diagnostically and cognitively close to offending (hypothetically naturally, I don't imagine we are capable of such degrees of accuracy) then you might want to take steps from putting them in charge of a daycare lets say. If they are the guy described in the article, who is raping and torturing 1 year olds, something more drastic like imprisonment would be appropriate until you can ensure they are not going to harm any more toddlers. If you are Adam, from the article, then some medical supervision seems appropriate, but nothing too drastic.
I am really just sounding this out as I go, but that is the gist of what I meant.
