It repugnant, but not offence. As Stein said what you're encouraging is punishment for thought crime. Its fair enough for you to feel strongly on a topic, but the basis for fundamental rights in our society is that you are not punishable for something you haven't committed.

I don't think there is any argument towards child abuse of any manner is wrong, and punishable by whatever means, but to move away from this and focus on the original point is that thought and action are not the same, for somebody to identify thoughts as wrong, unlawful or just morally wrong and make effort to correct this is a good thing and removing that persons rights to do so is draconian.

What you are implying is a dictatorship where you are explicitly stating what people are and aren't allowed to think, admittedly in this case its widely accepted that the case in question is unlawful, but that's besides the point. Maybe you are thinking of a society more like that found in communist states? I hear North Korea is nice this time of year...
