......
So as soon as a person logs on some chatroom he's a virtual person and therefore every social rule from the real life is cancelled and he can happily wank away in front of a ten year old child (even if it's a virtual model the other person still thinks it's real).....
Something about this sounds so totally weird I think you likely need to reassess what you are proposing - in fact reassess the premises behind your positions.
Obviously where you are headed is advocating police entrapment of perverts, some kind of persuasion of them to get them to take some illegal action so that they can be jailed. This starts with presentation of fake animation of children on some kind of internet site - bait. The fake animations would be used because real children shouldn't be subjected to such things.
That's a pretty sick game, bud. You might want to read up a bit on issues and problems with the concept and implementation of entrapment.
honestly, you have a good point.
(reminds me of the story where US police left cars unlocked in an area and arrest people that drove away with them. my comparison is a bit off here as we're talking about virtual world but i get what you mean)
Now I understand your perspective and the thing with police entrapment.
i think we can agree the main problem lies more within the following aftermath and the stigma of pedophilia and how it's still treated in a "medieval" way in our society.
Imagine all of these traced people getting a letter or an email proposing them a psychologist near their neighbourhood to simply think about a treatment and learn how to handle these tendencies.
Unfortunately we are still far away from dealing pedophily openly and as an "anti-social" side of sexual orientation that has been there for many centuries and should be treated like that.
Sure if some young guy, still wet behind his ears, approaches this virtual avatar out of pure curiosity and is still unsure about this previously unknown side of his sexual orientation,
he will be marked for his life after a sentence and will in no way get the treatment to learn how to deal with it atm.
On the other hand a pedophile that is actively abusing children for some decades in real life and also regularly abuses underage children via webcam, is a constant potential threat for the environment around him and it would be better to keep him in closed treatment.
If I recall correctly police has already created honeypots with childporn.
I admit to a part that my perspective here is influenced by the perhaps utopian idea that more awareness on this subject will also alter its future treatment in society.
Your perspective is probably partly influenced by the rightful distrust against governmental authorities and their tendency for unobjective and excessive punishment. (and also their long tail of perverted developments, like privatization of prisons or a blown-up administrative machinery influencing the legislation processes to keep a constant moneyflow guaranteed in its own interest)
That's a tough subject there...
i'll need some more contemplation on this one, thanks for posting your opinion.
