When you have time, please give some thought to the problem of judges that let perps go who have been molesting children for years, but the children were available to them and they didn't have to grab one off the street.
Bill O. keeps talking about Vermont judges who either let them go or give them very light sentences. Supposedly so they can get "treatement" (ha).
I've been thinking. If you molest a child for 4 yrs but didn't have to kidnap them to do it, you get off (in some jurisdictions) or get out of jail soon. If you grab one off the street and hold them and molest them for 4 yrs., your bail is set at 1 million dollars and your goose is cooked.
So, don't we need to change the law?
Why not pass laws that define kidnapping as INCLUDING molesting a child against his or her will even if it happens within the home, the family setting, whatever. It is absolutely a form of kidnapping as the child is being confined either physically or psychologically (you better not tell or I'll do thus and so to you or someone you love) and cannot be expected to break free of it in most cases.
So if you are convicted of doing this, a kidnapping charge is included. That way you'll be put away for a very long time, maybe forever.
What do you think?
I love that idea! There does need to be some sort of way that kidnapping charges could be added to the molestation charges.
