I fully believe that child molesters can not be cured of their sick desires that lead them to sexually abuse children. They are wired differently than normal people and it can’t be changed.
In one way, I am sickened every time I hear about an Internet child predator arrest but in another way I am glad, because they were caught and arrested. I say we should throw them under the jail and forget about them, but unfortunately the justice system doesn’t work that way.
I am sick to death of the fact that child molesters get such light sentences. Why should they be released back into society to stalk our children? Don’t we owe our children more?
Why is it that a person who rapes a child generally spends less time in prison than a bank robber? Kids are far more valuable than any amount of money. Why is there not appropriate justice for them when sexual crimes are committed against them?
It disgusts me, really disgusts me, to look at the sex offender listings and see how many of these sickos have done little or no time for their sex crimes against children. Yet here they are, moving into your neighborhood, my neighborhood and basically anywhere they damn well choose as long as it’s not near a school, church or playground.. or whatever the state restrictions may be. They are still living near children! And worse, I think, that they can live next door to you and your child and see your child individually every day as you come and go. So what if they don’t have a group of children to stalk, they can still choose individual child targets.
The system is just not good enough. It is not harsh enough on sex offenders, especially when a child has been victimized.
The story below is about a person who has a high profile job with CBS, and was recently busted for making arrangements on the internet to rape an 11-year old girl and have the sexual assault videotaped as well.
What do you think should happen to people like this? I know I have my ideas…

Not being an attorney is no excuse for not knowing the truth about the consequences of sex offender laws. Don’t get mad, get informed.

Willy, I guess since you ARE a sex offender, you obviously would disagree with me. I am informed, thank you very much. Child predators do NOT spend enough time behind bars. That’s the solid truth of the matter. If they did, they wouldn’t be out here trying to move into my neighborhood.

Well Gerri, since you feel we dont spend enough time behind bars, how much time would be enough? Let me guess, life!
If your concern about this issue is motivated by a hate of sex offenders and a desire to punish them then no amount of prison time would be enough, right?
But on the other hand if your if your priority is the safety of children start your education by going here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/sarah-tofte/sex-offender-laws-may-do-_b_68261.html
The “solid truth” of the matter is that you are in far more danger of a convicted thief, wife beater, or murderer living next to you then you are a convicted sex offender. According to Dept of Justice stats, only 3-5 % of all convicted sex offenders repeat their crime. Try reading beyond the scare headlines in the media.
