I respect your point of view
@Ladyghosthunter, however it is not a point of view that sits well with me. For instance, if there is good attachment and good enough parenting there will not be a life time of damage. Sexual assault, rape, child sexual abuse, traumas do not automatically mean PTSD or a life time of damage. The majority of child sexual abuse is committed by parents and family members in the child's home. The statistics and research show that as fact. So destroying those child rapists will only put children in a position where they have to endure the sexual abuse for longer periods of time, as they will want to protect their parents, so that attitude enables child sexual abuse to occur, for longer periods, rather than preventing it, but I get that you are so outraged by child sexual abuse that you just want immediate cessation of the sexual abuse of children and monitoring of the child sexual abuse offender, that is not a an unreasonable position at all, and when someone is overwhelmed by child sexual abuse, is quite understandable. However most child rapists, will never come in contact with the courts.
You might find it interesting to read about the dynamics of child sexual abuse in families and the dynamics of incestuous families over the generations and the roles of mothers in incestuous families where the father sexually abuses the children, and the role of the father when the mother is sexually abusing the children. At the very least the non offending parent has to be emotionally unavailable for the child or willing to ignore a child acting out her/his distress. If we could, as a society, engage with those dynamics in a considered and thoughtful fashion I believe that we could actually stop/prevent child rape within a generation.
My father would have beaten the living daylights out of anyone who sexually abused his children as well, but reasons different from being a parent who is allegedly protecting their children. And the man who reacted and beat the child rapist - does he beat his child that way? I know that mine did. I don't think it models good behaviour to the child and it doesn't immediately provide soothing, care, containment, healing, acknowledgement, love, honouring and containment to the sexually abused child. The predator met their needs for power through using the child sexually, then the father used violence to meet his needs to express his anger over what happened to the child. It is not putting the child at the centre of the equation. The child comes out second best in both circumstances.
I would literally come home from school, sleep in the afternoons and then stay up all night to stop my father from sexually abusing my sisters and brothers. I spent more than a decade of my life literally running interference stopping my father from sexually abusing children in our social network. I was not always successful but I stopped a lot. I was exhausted from protecting my sisters and brothers. My mother and the other members would sit around saying how disgusting child sexual abuse was, and would talk to us about stranger danger, and say sexual abusers deserved whatever came their way - so they entered the dialogue which tricks people in to thinking they are engaging in productive conversation about child sexual abuse. My mother would also stand outside my door and talk to the other children telling them that I was okay, whilst my father was raping me - so those 'outraged' attitudes enabled a feeling of "Oh I am a good person, I am against child sexual abuse," without literally engaging in the child sexual abuse occurring in the family and home.
I am trying to name a disconnect about child rape in our society. However I respect that this thread is not really about that, it is more people saying how upset they are about child sexual abuse, which is understandable. People are at different places around child sexual abuse at different times of their lives which depends what child sexual abuse they have lived through in their lives.
I have seen male and female child rapists will use the discussion "that any child molesters deserve any violence conversation" to assess the connection people have with their own children and the children in the social network. If people talk about it without a connection to their children and the reality of child sexual abuse mostly happening in children's home then they begin their grooming process. So there is an important child protection issue connected to this discussion which often gets lost or not threshed out.
