I think the discussion about the appropriate punishment for the crime is totally separate from the workplace issue.

The guy has a serious problem, one that we don't know how to fix yet. His brain is broken.

What if he was an alcoholic and was convicted of beating his kids? Should a workplace revolt be staged then? What if he wasn't convicted of beating his kids, but was a tool and just psychologically abused them by calling them stupid and useless and stuff? Those kinds of things have as much a long term impact on kids as this would, though in different ways I'm sure. Why are molesters basically on the move for the rest of their lives, but physical and psychological abusers not?

It would be so much better if we could actually figure out how to help people with these mental problems.

Definitely don't put him in a job where he works with kids, that's a no brainer. But if everyone at work knows, it doesn't matter what job he goes to he's going to get the same reaction.

Since we don't know how to fix these things, either society has to give them a chance to get back to leading a normal life and keeping things under control, or put them all in a special commune out in the middle of nowhere where they can't hurt anyone.
