"It's just a real tragedy that the innocence is gone."

The thing you don't seem to get PHONZ is that there never was this golden time of innocence that you long for. There have always been child molesters, Probably the same amount in any given year as there are now. The sensationalist news makes it seem as if the world is going to hell in a handbasket, but It's just about as dangerous as it ever has been.

Another difference is that today people are less naive about it, they won't just let "Weird uncle willy" watch the kids, then sweep the scandal under the rug after something happens to their kid.

Sure to some extent societies openness and the way we communicate today gives these sickos a "peer group" They can all pat eachother on the back... But unless you want to take a step backward technologically you just can't prevent this.
