Chris Hansen is back at it catching predators

Evidence suggests pedophilia is a genetic problem. If a person is a pedophile is not their fault. We get that.

Pedophiles are people. They are not impaired, they can feel empathy, love, hate and... they can make rational decisons. They just happen to be attracted to minors.

A pedophile can absolutely understand that following their desires will harm a child. It's a crime and there is no excuses. They have the choice of not acting on their desires and, you know, not committing a crime.

So, is this video demonizing these pedophiles? Yes. Because they were trying to act on their desires and that's fucked up. Is this video demonizing pedophilia? Well, pedophilia is inherently wrong, so no. These kind of videos can't "demonize" something that's already inherently wrong.

It seems that you think a pedophile is like a psychopath. You know, they feel no remorse and a lot is compromised with their judgement, so when they act on their desires is kind of understandable why they did it.
