But if he is volunteering this information then it's fair play to spread it around the neighborhood and warn others that he has these issues. We must protect children. but a community approach vs a police approach is what I would advocate until he breaks the law. Then his neighbors can make their own decisions on how they will proceed.
In what way? He is free to do whatever as long as it is not breaking the law, so it would be difficult to do anything about it other than just adjusting your own behaviors and routines.

It's repulsive to think of someone being sexually attracted to children in most of our minds, I get that. Children are innocent in all of this and as a society we are conditioned to not sexualize them. I mean, in German, the word for a young girl is das Mädchen. The das definitive is reserved for neuter nouns, meaning no gender attached to it. In context, die Frau is women. The die definitive points to the feminine noun. So this is engrained so much in our culture that it is exhibited in some of our languages. So it is understandable that this takes on a whole other level. I just don't see cause to have the mindset that it is just a ticking time bomb.
