"If justice had been done in the first place, this would never have been an issue. Nevertheless, I would much rather read about a dead child molestor than another dead child."
Couldn't agree more!
"But there are some boys getting charged with with sex offenses that are 18 and their girlfriend is under 18. I know of one right now, the girl was a runaway at 15, the boy was ignorant and vulnerable trying to help, the 15 year old girl was a slut, and parents when they found their "precious" daughter, pressed charges. The 18 year old is being charged with a sex offense.
If he is convicted, he wiil stay labeled a sex offender for the rest of his life!!
Teach your 18 year old boys to stay far away from under 18 girls, and from my experience some of them are the predators!!!!"
That's a very good argument. Except for one thing: While you lament an 18 year old "boy" being labeled as a sex offender, you also label the girl as a slut. Interesting.
You don't seem to understand that by the time a "boy" is 18, he has already molested at least one girl, and maybe a boy, because the desire for sexual gratification begins at an early age.
As for the "slut", how do you know her father or some other male in her house or extended family has not been abusing her for years? Sounds to me like you need an education in sex offender behavior.
The only shame and humiliation he felt was that at being caught. They don't feel shame. Which is why they are repeat offenders. The only humiliation they feel is that which accompanies having their secret lives revealed.
You don't realize how carefully sexual predators set up their lives to enable them to prey on children. EVERYTHING they say and do is geared toward one thing: sexual gratification.
It's crystal clear that we are failing to deal with sex offenders properly the first time around. I don't know where that failing stems from - whether the criminal justice system is treating them too liberally or if mental health professionals are not grasping the full extent of the mental deformities of sex criminals minds - but it's obvious that something has to change before this problem gets worse.
"Do you think God could transform a sex offender?"
If God "transformed" a sex-offender, He would be breaking one of His own Laws ~ that of free-agency. Remember that a sexual predator is a sexual predator because that is what he CHOOSES to be.
We need more signs!!
Crime Stoppers should send a reward to some charity in this guys name - he did everyone a favor!
especially the way they "teach" sex ed in school - where they sit in mixed groups - boy-girl-boy-girl - and pass around condoms, are taught how to put them on cucumbers - have and have to draw, very detailed pictures, are treated like - we-know-you-re-all gonna=do-it - so's here's all the different ways, and pass around the different contraceptive devices, boy to girl to boy - etc...
the little bit I've touched on is mild compared to the rest of it.
I've sat in on some of there latent-imprint sessions - as a reporter at a state wide conference (the parents thought they were on a literary field trip! - They did not want me there - but couldn't bar me. I was guest speaker at a Boston TV talk show and debated the authors of one of the books they teach the kids from (not on the listed curriculum - and written by lesbians) Parents are naive and have no idea what their kids are actually subjected to in "sex ed" - and then, no consequences should you get pregnant - the parents need never know, just go to PP and they'll take care of it.)
Sex ed is programmed to break down inhibitions, teach them ALL about how to do it, get them wanting to experiment, etc...
What irritates me is letting them out years before they complete their sentences on "good behavior"
Ahh, what are you saying? Because he didn't rape any kids while locked up, he's been 'good"???
That makes no sense to me...
If only we could get the rest of the butt-heads to take their own lives...
*sigh*
Only death stops these "people" from molesting. Prison "stops" them for as long as they are in prison. As soon as legislators and judges and juries realize these two facts, more predators will be in jail for life. I personally think sexual predators who murder their victims should be allowed one appeal, if they are given the death penalty. And then they should summarily be eliminated.
"Once he made these type statements our deputies took this man into custody under the Baker Act law and transported him to a local mental health facility for evaluation," Marion County Sheriff's Capt. Denis Strow said. "He was later released."
"You're not paranoid if they really are out to get you."
Yah...I still maintain that sex ed should be taught in the home, by parents, but then, a lot of parents don't know any more than their kids do. Except that putting Tab A" into Slot "B" will result in preganany. Which is why we have AIDS and Herpes running rampant.
Let's see, that means he was 20 years old when he was first caught and convicted. That his mother says he hasn't been in trouble for 18 years means absolutely NOTHING. She wouldn't know if he was behaving himself or not.
Secondly, I see nothing wrong with being branded for life and having to do some very heavy emotional lifting to prove your repentance. To always be apologetic and humbled before the righteous wrath of the community can only build character in the one who is truly transformed.

OK. One more time, in case you haven't read any of my posts so far on this thread: Predators do not feel "remorse" or "shame" or any other truly human emotion. Their lives are all about LIES. They do NOT "repent". They are NEVER "rehabilitated". If you believe otherwise, then you must have gotten your information from a sexual predator.
At LAST! A reasonable mind! I thought I was here alone...Trying to inform people of the insidious nature of sexual predators is a thankless job, but it has to be done.
Thanks! ;o]
And YOU spend quite a bit of time assuming the backgrounds of posters on this thread.
Monkey Grill, chill. Please re-read: the context of my post was directed at the silly hysteria surrounding the idea of being "branded for life." Perhaps I let it take me off the main topic of pedophilia, which, as far as I am concerned is incurable, but the idea of branding someone for life appears to have had the desired effect in this case.
My comment was directed precisely toward the bleeding hearts who feel it cruel to brand someone for life. But branding is a two-edged sword: the public is warned and the violator is exposed and shamed and terrified, just like his victim. Such punishment may or may not bring about "repentance" but if it did, it would require all that I outlined. It was a thought experiment...undeserving of your vile assumptions.
You are very wrong in those words.
When one truly allows God in, all problems can be dealt with.
People can change and that change is much more possible through God. The past may not be made different, but the future can be.
Monkey Face, you really need to calm down. You are showing an hysteria that is not founded by the article first posted.
