I save the child. Mental, psychological, and/or sexual trauma to a child will not fare well with their growth and will give them a lot of developmental problems. It will likely go unreported and the pedophile will go free and likely continue their kink.

While horrible, the woman should be able to either defend herself, report it to the authorities, and/or get the proper help she will need to cope with this traumatic experience.

The rapist could be gay, but the pedophile definitely likes children. We also know he's a pedophile so he's probably done something in the past.

Im gonna say the vast majority of pedophiles have never hurt children (sexually, anyway). 100% of rapists have hurt someone, intentionally.

Except the topic says save a child from a pedophile. You can't save a child that isn't in danger. So in this scenario the pedophile is a danger to the child.

The vast majority of pedophiles would absolutely molest kids if it were allowed or they were confident they could get away with it. The ones that don't harm kids almost exclusively refrain due to a fear of punishment or a lack of opportunity. It's a very small percentage that don't do it simply because they know it's wrong.

Source?

Most adults I know can control their impulses, so I dont know why pedophiles would be different. Unless youre saying that most people dont harm people due to fear of punishment or lack of opportunity. But then Id say thats definitely a you problem, because I sure wouldnt rape someone even if I knew I could get away with it.

I will grant you the title says save, though.

Most people don't murder because they don't want to murder. They don't rape because they don't want to rape. They don't steal because they don't want to steal. They don't start fires because they don't want to. Most people that do want to commit crimes or harm people yet control their desires do so out of a fear of punishment. Normal people don't want to do these things to begin with.

But pedophiles want to molest those little kids. That's what being a pedophile is. Having a sexual attraction/desire for prepubescent kids. The desire is there. They want to do it. If they didn't have the desire they wouldn't be pedophiles. So your "most people" comment doesn't really compare here. Because most people don't actually want to harm others. Unless you want to talk about most people who do want to start fires. Or most people who do want to murder. Etc. Now out of those people, the majority that don't only control the desire out of fear of punishment.

Save the child. No kid should have to deal with that shit.

I'm sorry for the woman who has to deal with her trauma but she should have a better understanding of law than a child. At least she can use litigation against her abuser.

Personally I find these kind of hypotheticals pointless and stupid. You're setting up an incomplete scenario with a lot of missing information that would influence your decision. The discussion already illustrates this issue. And even ignoring the incomplete information issue, chances are that people would act differently than how they say that they would act. If you want to ask which is worse of the two options, then just ask it directly instead of setting up a hypothetical that's essentially just asking the question in an unnecessarily roundabout way.

Yes, but this is a hypothetical situation. We don't necessarily know that this pedo is a pedo because he's offended before. We could know that this pedo is a pedo because the Magical Hypothetical Scenario Llama appeared to us in a dream and told us. The means by which we know of his pedohood is not defined in the scenario, therefore we can't make any assumptions to that effect.
