People have been hunting paedos for as long as I could remember.

People are just more aware of paedos now.

I don't think serial murderers are as prevalent as paedophiles. The only person I have a connection to who was a victim of a serial murderer, that serial murderer was a paedophile (Robert Black) and murdered to cover up his vile actions.

But there are far worse humans our there than kid fuckers.

Like what exactly? I can only think of serial murderers who murder kids. If there are worse people, they aren't far worse than the paedophiles.
