You should make a distinction between pedophiles and child molesters.
The former is a term purely denoting someone suffering from the mental illness - they may or may not have abused anyone. The latter has sexually abused a child.
Not all pedophiles are child molesters, and not all child molesters are pedophiles.
I think it's an important thing to differentiate between; you wouldn't use psychopath as a synonym for serial killer, would you?
A bit nitpicking but I get where u are coming from.
if they have not hurt someone...are getting help that be great. Then i wont hate you...but i hate people who do hurt children
Which of these kinds of people do you consider the lowest scum?

I'm probably just nitpicking though :)
