Just as heterosexuals don't rape people all the time, most pedophiles probably don't either. I think an estimated 2% of the population are pedophiles. I feel sorry for them.

However, if they prove to be a danger to the kids, they have to be locked away or something. It's just because we don't know a better way to treat the issue.

Ah, but I believe that they do often act on their impulses. Mayo reported that more than 3/4 of persons who were arrested for child pornography were found to have molested a child. A federal prison study actually estimated even more.
