Our "enlightened" nation is already far too liberal in its treatment of these offspring of the devil.
One of this chap's fellow perverts (in Idaho) is at this moment withholding information about the little Groene boy. To protect his sorry ass, presumably.
A more comforting presumption would be that the world has been spared any progeny from the warm hearted Mrs. Mark.
I asked not to twist a defense of liberty into some sort of support for child molesters, but you seem to be unwilling to do so. Maybe because doing so boosts your self-esteme.
How clear can I be? I am all for punishing those who violate the rights of others. Child molesters do not change their stripes and throwing away the key is fine with me.

Fitzroy Barnaby said he had to swerve to avoid hitting the 14-year-old Des Plaines girl who walked in front of his car.
She said he yelled, "Come here, little girl," before getting out of his car and grabbing her by the arm.
He said he simply lectured her.
She said she broke free and ran, fearful of what he'd do next.
In a Thursday ruling, the Appellate Court of Illinois said the 28-year-old Evanston man must register as a sex offender.

In the criminal case against him, Cook County Judge Patrick Morse said that "it's more likely than not" Barnaby planned only "to chastise the girl" when he grabbed her, but "I can't read his mind."
"I don't really see the purpose of registration in this case. I really don't," Morse said. "But I feel that I am constrained by the statute."
Recognizing the stigma that comes with being labeled as a sex offender, the appellate court said "it is [Barnaby's] actions which have caused him to be stigmatized, not the courts."
