You seem to think that because we call child molestors monsters, we aren't aware that they are human and a clear and present danger because of it.
I will admit that there are people who can't see the truth in their own homes, who live in denial that family members could be molestors, but I believe that most people can see the truth. In some cases though, there are other factors in play which lead to that tunnel vision. Your average molestor's ability to deflect suspicion, and the difficulty in accepting that anyone could violate a child's innocence in such a manner make seeing the facts problematic.
Finally, humanizing molestors, believing that they can be treated and returned to society has failed miserably. They don't "get better", they adapt and keep doing what they do.
Molestors are human.
We don't have to treat them as human.
Their actions are so far off the charts, they should be stripped of the excessive protections afforded the guilty.
Humans who act like monsters should be dealt with as monsters.
Penalties to fit the severity of the crimes.
