I used the wrong word, cured. I didn't mean cured.
What I mean is, child molesters can be taught to understand their deviant cycle. Like an alcoholic, once the deviant behavior is there, it's always there under the surface, like any other "condition" as such. But the difference between a rehabilitated child molester and a non-rehabilitated one is the understanding of their cycle and what causes their behavior and drives them to do the things they do.
With good therapy and treatment as well as the knowledge that comes from exploring why they do those things, they can be rehabilitated, to the point where they will recognize their cycle is starting up and backtrack away from the behavior. And they learn to avoid areas of temptation, not be involved with children, etc.
That's really what I meant. :)
Yes, I'm still safe. You all don't have my address. ;)

P.S. And I'm not a child, nor do I have any, either. :)
