It also costs more to beef up social service programs that provide assistance to those that need it. Providing counseling to the abused, and their families is expensive, and doesn't have much glamour to it.
Attention at the source, family distress, kids left alone with whoever is cheap enough to babysit, parenting programs, that takes a lot of effort and doesn't generate easy headlines.
Personally, I'd rather a pedophile be able to satisfy their (immoral, wrong, etc.) urges with computer pictures than actually harm a live child next door.
However, for the pictures to exist in the first place abuse has to occur, so that doesn't work, does it?
(I really hope everyone reads the line directly above.)
I guess we really should spend our money on studying the sources of abusers behavior, and trying to fix that.
But hey, that'd make sense.

Quoting this is all that can be said for me.
