h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Over the last few years I've made a mental note of all the known pedophile cases that have occured in North America. ( Particularily in Canada because that is where I hail from. ) Now I have more than a passing knowledge with mental disorders and I find it puzzling that there is not one known case of a pedophile being cured or of even reconditioned or the like. I've heard it said that every pedophile that is released from custody will reoffend. What makes this more interesting is societies reaction to these pedophile's. Sure there is downright hatred but why is it that when these pedophiles are convicted they recieve nothing less than a slap on the hand for their deeds- i.e. in Montreal a man sodomizes his daughter for years, at his sentencing the judge gives him 6months in jail and sites, " I'm being lient because I recognize that you spared her virginity. ". Abore these beasts but encourage them through the message that it is O.K. to destroy our children for your sick perverse needs and we will not punish you. Puzzling I say.
