One thing I have to ask for those that say pedos should seek psychological/psychiatric treatment: do you even know a professional that won't immediately call the cops if you say "i have sexual desires for kids"?
I wholly agree that this is something that should receive some form of treatment, but first the ones afflicted would have to know that they won't be judged, labeled and exposed when they do so.
Things that happen inside your head = not illegal
Things that happen outside of your head = can potentially be illegal.
Because no one doing something 100% legal has ever had the cops called on them?
Ok but things that happen inside your head can make you a piece of shit
No, it does not. Many people struggle with
, as an example.
An intrusive thought is an unwelcome, involuntary thought, image, or unpleasant idea that may become an obsession, is upsetting or distressing, and can feel difficult to manage or eliminate.
Bad thoughts ≠ bad person.
Yes i know, we are only our better selves. Our bad side is not really us, doesnt count. The harmful parts of human nature are all the devils work/sickness right? We are all perfect beautiful beings in all our flaws.
You responded to someone who actually took the time to educate you in a respectful manner, and your response is to throw a passive aggressive tantrum like a petulant child. Grow up dude.
What a wonderful day for a block user button.

Bro everyone has dark intrusive thoughts, these folks just have ones that they're wildly ashamed of and that they're scared of not knowing how to control most of the time.
There are some who cross the threshold into action, but in all likelihood those are a comparable ratio to people who actually turn into serial killers compared to people who have intrusive thoughts about wanting to throttle someone out of frustration with them.
What are the cops going to do? Round here at least, thought crime isn't yet a thing. It'd essentially be the same as if you said "Sometimes, I want to hurt people". If you're actually speaking with a medical professional, what you say is legally privileged information, and AFAIK for the US at least, that continues until there is reasonable belief that you will harm someone or commit a crime.
This totally glosses over the social aspect, but for any legitimate medical provider that shouldn't be a problem. I don't want anyone who needs help to be afraid of seeking it.

True, but anyone admitting to being a pedo is very likely to have something in their phones or computers that they really hope nobody ever sees, especially the cops (whether real CP, AI generated or drawn, and whether the possession is a crime, varies). An "anonymous" tip leading into an investigation could easily end up with jail time.

But doctors are required to report anything that they identify as an immediate physical threat (e.g., to the patient or because of the patient). I found out recently that this is entirely subjective - different doctors have different ideas about what constitutes a threat. So, in a lot of ways, no, medical secrecy may not protect you if you tell the wrong doctor.

You underestimate how sheltered, bureaucratic and extraordinarily hard it is for a medical practitioner to lose their license. I've seen literal convicted murderers who didn't lose their license and were still licensed doctors (for a while) while in prison. I've seen rapists retain the medical license that allowed them access to their victims.
While that is true it would be enough for a therapist to say they see someone as a threat. As hate for pedophiles is on a rather high level i understand the fear however unwarranted it might be. Luckely at least in germany there is some kind of help group named somewhat like "Kein Täter werden" if i remember correctly. I think we could use more of that in more countries.
In the US, they will call the cops if they know you did something illegal, so it does require some form of secrecy from the patient.
People are attracted to whoever they're attracted to. Saying someone should get psychiatric treatment for the sexual preferences in their own head sounds misguided, similar to "pray the gay away"
