Than this law.
#1 - create a safe, loving home where your childrens' emotional needs are met as well as their physical needs.
#2 - when your children are old enough to ask where babies come from, TELL THEM. At the very least, parents have until that time a kid can string a sentence together to ask. Give them the whole talk, too.
#3 - watch for sudden changes in your childrens' behavior. When a small child goes from open and engaging with their peers to suddenly being on the sidelines, watching all the fun instead of participating, something is going on and they will appear vulnerable to a predator if they haven't already been hit on.
Society will never be able to rid itself of true freaks without becoming a totalitarian state, and that's simply not desirable. The best we can do is to give kids the support they need to avoid looking attractive to predators and if it still happens, the support they need to confront and leave the pain behind, as they grow up.
