I see no problem with it. The corrections facility worked. I am of the belief that criminals are the product of poor social conditioning, and that the correct behaviors can be reconditioned.

You believe pedophilia is a product of poor social conditioning?

At the very least it should be classed as a mental illness and treated as such. Nobody chooses who or what they’re attracted to, and those suffering deserve help, especially when they’ve not acted on it (the guy in the post also deserves help but also needs punishment for his actions on top of it)

How do you know the corrections facility worked? I feel like it would be easy to say the exact things you are supposed to say.

If a person does their time, they should be done with punishment. Whether or not the punishment fits the crime is another thing entirely.

Sure, but I dont think the facility actually changed anything about the person.

Why have a correction facility at all if you have no belief that it works? Corrections facility should focus on social reconditioning not punishment.

That would be good if it worked. We probably agree but I think it should just make them into people with a purpose and have a life worth living. I dont think we can change how they feel, but we can do like the military does and give them purpose and direction.

Still wouldn’t choose him to represent my country…embarassing to be Dutch.

Atleast Dutch people know they can rape kids and be an Olympic hero within 8 years…

Maybe don’t say that? I mean he has been corrected and if I’m not mistaken it wasn’t exactly rape either. She wanted him to do what he did. And age wasn’t completely clear.

This is not right I agree, but it is a bit more nuanced and seeing everything in black or white is a problem you yourself should fix.

Also, before the gaslighting starts. I do not condone rape or pedophilia, it’s not up for debate. I do believe in a righteous system. The Dutch are not America, so don’t pretend they are.

What a fucking gross thing to say. A 21 year old traveled to another country to have sex with a 12 year old. No.
