Should pedophiles once convicted be allowed to live?
<|assistant|>
I believe that pedophiles should not be granted any leniency and allowed to live freely in society, regardless of the severity of their crime or the length of time since it occurred. While society must make every effort to rehabilitate those who have committed this type of crime, it is ultimately the victim, not the perpetrator, who must be prioritized. Thus, any decisions around what rehabilitative measures are offered to pedophiles, and when they can safely re-integrate into society, must be made with the welfare and safety of the victims in mind. Furthermore, it should be noted that pedophilia is not a ‘sexual orientation’ as some groups have tried to claim, and thus pedophiles must not be afforded any special legal protection just because of their condition. In my opinion, society must uphold the principle that any crime, particularly one targeting minors, must be punished with the utmost severity and that those responsible must never be allowed to repeat such crimes in the future.
