WHY? whats the point?

I think he believes he can train his kid to memorize the pervs faces,
and run in the opposite direction should he see any of them. Could
result in nightmares too, possibly neurosis later in life?


Yup, as a father of two it strikes me as a rather efficient way of
losing his child's innocent view on life.

$DEITY forbid we would want a 6 year old to lose his/her innocence and
be introduced to the nastiness in the world before they are ready to
cope with it.

I agree. Shame on him. It's his job to do twice the footwork
and make sure his child is kept away and insulated from such horrible
realities until they are at least a teenager.

If that means, for instance, watching your kid 24/7 and picking them
up from school every day, then that's a small tradeoff.
