A) Really that illiterate
and
B) Quite so eager to form mobs and take the law into their own hands?
You can imagine how easily the government (who control the mainstream media)..could drip-feed the odd vigilante story into the press...to keep job public thinking this way...but the best thing to do is look around you. Do you, or anybody in the office where you work, suddenly feel like grabbing a pitchfork and burning down the house of the nearest paedophile? If I ask myself the question, the answer is NO, of course not.
The government are constantly trying to manipulate us through the media...and its frustrating when I hear people regurgitating what could just as well be "old wives tales" of the 21st century...the pediatrician story being such a prime example.
Sorry to get all conspiracy theory on you all...but keep an open mind!!

I know what you mean, but i've seen on facebook groups, say like about Peter, the first reaction in violence. Almost everyone on that group wanted an eye for an eye. Also don't forget many people don't really understand paedophilia. But people see themselves as vigalaties alot of the time, especially parents, they would be heros of the village. I'm not saying they'd all get up and do it that instant. It would most likely be planned, and the sickos would show up. It is a very very strong label to put on someone and alot of people are very quick to believe to, and they would quickly turn to violence. And I know the media creates myths but this one did happen. People just to conclusions quick and it can ruin lives. Half the time they would not even be bothered about the kid, mostly the violence.
