  I do understand that real boys were abused to make these images, however, I don't think jailing someone for a first offence is a good idea. Given that there is some evidence that paedophiles are different genetically, I think for a first offence of downloading (where there is no direct abuse), forced intensive therapy is appropriate.
  
  The reason for this is so that other people who feel inclined to download images can seek out therapy for themselves before they commit an offence. With the current climate, those who are interested in such images are just going to stay quiet and may eventually move on to abuse. Mr Saunders was not very clever in hiding what he downloaded, but there will be people who use cryptographic techniques who are never likely to be caught.
  
  There are other ways in which children are abused directly which seem to receive no punishment at all. Every time you see a fat kid, you should think 'abusive parent'. I would certainly like to see some kind of intervention in such cases.

  There is "some evidence" that paedophiles are different genetically. This is by no means conclusive at all and therefore should be held void. Furthermore, the fact that there may be a genetic difference which makes them sexually attracted to children does not mean that there is a genetic difference which makes them download child **** and/or abuse children. There are many paedophiles who realize that they have a problem and have the willpower to restrain themselves.
  
  And what does 'forced intensive therapy' instead of prison have to do with being an incentive for paedophiles to seek out treatment? Surely they should have the morals to seek out treatment under the current legislation?
  
  And your comment about fat children is just ridiculous. If the child is eating too much and sneaks around the parents attempts to curb their food intake, and the parents physically deprive their children of food, this is also child abuse.

  Its true some are born that way
  
  I have read accounts of child sex offenders (in psychological literature) and it is actually true that some men are aware from an early age that they have a sexual orientation towards younger children,one man described his horror when he realized at the age of nine years old that he was sexually drawn to four year old boys it is very tragic.

  However a lot of these cases are purely due to compulsive online sexual behaviour and sex addiction.
  
  The men/perverts become corrupted due to getting bored with viewing 'normal' p o r n they actively seek out more and more extreme images its a slippery slope before they know it very dark behaviour becomes part of their arousal template and they literally cant control themselves.
  
  
  
  Internet p o r n is very dangerous.
  
  
  Also it has to be said that there is a strong demonic influence at work in the world today.
  
  Child sex abuse is now rampant and this is due to the change of our moral landscape- decline of judeo christian values, the rise of the occult etc

  Mr Saunders may not have touched the children in his class but his presence and sick energy will have been harmful- children are innocent and open being around such a sick 'teacher' may have been negative and damaging on a soul level."
