How many more children are going to die before we start imposing tougher prison sentences for those who break the law? Until judges and defense lawyers start getting raped I guess nothing will get done.

While I agree per violent crimes, I do not agree we should be harsher -- or even as harsh as we are now -- about nonviolent crimes. This man had a misdemeanor battery and a felony drug possession. What's wrong with that picture?

I'm a recovering addict myself. I was charged with drug possession. It definitely set me back on the road to recovery, and G-d saw fit to see that ALL charges were completely DROPPED. It was wonderful that it happened, it straightened me out. But would it have benefitted society to see me a felon?

Obviously you don't get it. Organizations such as the ACLU and Amnesty International, and individuals as Barbara Boxer don't give a rat's ass about children.

It is only when they are stopped will we see some real laws protecting children in this country.
