I understand that molestation of kids is wrong...but it's happened to a whole lot of kids...and they pick up the pieces and move on in life.

This is a hard hearted viewpoint. Being raped or molested when a young child is an emotional trauma that often has lifelong negative effects. I disagree with you often but this takes the cake. You are callously minimizing the horror of child molesting. It is sickening.

The fact that people can "pick up the pieces and move on in life." is hard hearted and sickening to you?

Then I guess you agree with the quote I was responding to about these lives being "destroyed" by sexual predators....and you can help them nuture the lamentations over the awful negative emotional effects..so they can get the maximum suffering they can out of the experience.

What do you know about being molested as a child?

I was molested several times beginning at the age of 5. And I know others who were also molested as children.

I thank God that we didn't get stuck with a 'feel sorry for yourself' counselor like you to teach us how to make a bad experience in a life-long career of horror and emotional damage.

Some of us learn to grow up and over-come things like this. Sorry that 'sickens' you.
