I have worked with people who deal with these offenders, and can verify that there is no known treatment. Guys who like to commit sexual acts upion children, and kill them, are not going to be rehabilitated. So, in my view, releasing them out into society is not okay.
And maps of where they live are informative. They live nearer to you than you probably think.
Again, these people cannot be allowed to have access to children. Ever.
Then there is the perspective of the parents. People without kids can respect the love parents have, but until you have a child of your own, you cannot fathom it. All parents have shuddered at the thought of something terrible happening to their child. But this is so unthinkable that I find parents' minds cannot actually go there. When you think about something heinous like this happening, your mind gets about halfway there, you shudder, and then your mind runs away from it. It's too terrible to even think. Parents truly understand what love is about. It is a rare parent who would not quickly, immediately, gladly, perish to keep a child safe. I would instantly sacrifice my life to save one of my kids. There are bits of bravery we may or may not have....that we discover when the time comes. This is not one of them. Parents know what they would do.
Not sure why I rambled like this, except to underscore the virtual unsurvivability of something like this happening to a child. I would MUCH MUCH rather die than have something like this happen to a child of mine. Even after it has happened, my guess is parents don't really want to live on.
