Rainbowzz, that's an excellent point! Staying on topic, while I have no problem putting away anyone who is harmful to others, I wonder about those here who have expressed hate towards pedophiles, because pedophiles are mentally ill, and can't help themselves. I have mixed feelings about pedophiles on that issue, but I can't say I have any problem with them being harmed, when they've harmed others. I admit that. I do think, if a pedophile were to seek help before harming a child, s/he deserves help and points for doing that. I'm not saying such a person can be helped, but if s/he's trying to get help, or have him/herself put away, that means s/he realizes what s/he wants to do is wrong.
Off-topic, you also brought up something that I wonder about--if someone triggers you to suffer with your mental illness (like, if someone intentionally forces you into a situation where you have a panic attack, or if you have OCD and someone forces you to feel "dirty" --and I don't mean to help you, like under a shrink's care, but because they don't care or to entertain themselves so they can laugh at you), shouldn't you be compensated for it, same as if a person further injures someone with a broken leg or a physical illness?
