In a word, yes. But in a sentence, I'd rather make it absolutely illegal to willfully expose children to these performances because they are continuously spreading across the country.
By "letting the community decide", we may as well just cheer them on for exercising their rights to do it, because those communities are deciding to do it.
Pedophiles only get away with it currently because they are a protected class in our society. If it was left up to the communities these people would have to start a pedophile only community where they both feed themselves and protect themselves from outsiders who don't like the fact they are raping kids. Take away their protection and take away the people being forced to produce food for them and suddenly you have a bunch of people that quite honestly don't even have time to rape kids because they are so busy just trying not to die. You aren't taking the communities deciding for themselves thing far enough, in fact I don't even know how you are taking it, you seem to think that if government no longer protected pedophiles everybody would suddenly be ok with it?
Think of how many things are illegal, now also consider how much of a deterrent something being illegal is. I think you'll find very quickly that laws are not even worth the paper they are printed on.
You have a fair point about people ignoring the law and so on, however consider that anything you would do to stop this would be illegal as well.
So even if they lost the protected class status, actually stopping them from doing it without making it illegal would essentially be impossible because laws would still protect their freedoms to do these things.
