Part of the issue though is that it isn't a sex crime - even though sex is part of the crime. It's a power trip for the abuser. So long as they have a way of exerting power over the victim, they'll be able to commit the crime. As long as they have hands to touch with, and a mouth to speak with, they'll be able to commit the crime.
The resolution is easy. Death has a zero percent recidivism rate.
I won't argue with that.
You get the "common sense of the Day" award.
Look at the faces of the children in that photo.
What really makes me angry are pseudo-academics and faux-scholars who make up their own statistics supported by junk science that claims that children raised in a "gay-household" are just as emotionally healthy as from heterosexual (read: normal) families.
It is totally bogus and a lie.
Yes. The politically correct slippery slope drags children along the careening path to the bottom.
He will be monitored for 11 years. McQuay was released last week after serving eight years of a 20-year sentence because his time-served and good-behavior credit met state requirements for release under mandatory supervision.
EIGHT years on a measley 20-year sentence? Time served and "good behavior" credits? For a pedophile rapist?
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over??
We had nearly this exact same thing happen locally about 10 years ago. Medical castration is NOT available in NH. The parole board was chock full of bleeding heart libs. The guy told the parole board that if let out, he would definitely molest again. The board was convinced that prison was not the correct place for this guy. Rather, he could get help on the outside through some sort of outpatient counseling services at a halfway house. The guy BEGGED to be kept in prison. The parole board would have none of it.
So, the guy gets out, comes straight to my town and proceeds to lurk in front of a daycare center. The police arrest him for failure to report to his halfway house and failure to register as a sex offender. Instead of going back to prison on the spot, he is given a summons to appear in court in 3 months. The police then deliver him to his halfway house.
Within a day or two later, the police are summoned to the same daycare. The guy is inside the building talking to several little kids. He was again arrested but this time brought back to prison. That is the last I heard about him. But in both of these examples the pervs are saying, "I can't help myself and I will do it again," yet the statements are falling on deaf ears. IMHO, if a perv is let out like this, the presiding parole board should be held as accomplices to any subsequent crimes the pervs commit. If I was on a parole board with that threat hanging over me, no one would ever get out!
I think you'd be within your rights to shoot them, as well as the perv.
I just don't get it.
Do those in justice careers think these aren't violent crimes?
Works for me!
I tend to equate them to their insane patients. Having known a few psychologists and psychiatrists who were themselves complete neurotics, I think the "profession" attracts that type, and I would tend to extend the same logic to those who specialize in deviant sexual behavior.
