Ok I did post some of what I found out there, but don't think I sided with the ideas of castration, or with any excuse to let them go free because of no room at the inn... but those are arguments, imo.

From what I see, the Dateline predators don't quite fit the pattern that the DSM identifies.

Maybe the DSM needs updating in this area also, as children are "physically maturing" much earlier?

It is a societal problem and hopefully Dateline's focus (for whatever purpose) will bring it to light and thus, solution. I mentioned in a thread about recent studies of the prefrontal cortex and how they realized that teens don't have the ability for impulse control and such thought until much later than they thought (into twenty's!) As they continue to study this area of the brain, certainly we will learn more about criminals?
