Agreed.
One the subject of paedophiles, I remember reading somewhere that there was the same presence of paedophiles when I was growing up in the 80s, the difference now is it that seems like there's more in present times because of the amount of media coverage paedophile incidents get, not because there's been an increase in these preprators.
