Everyday we hear of family members who do horrible things to their own children. Everyday we hear of another child who mysteriously disappears. Everyday another pediaphile ring is uncovered. The battle never ends. Nor does the evil.

I understand your weariness of the government. Anything they touch is usually destroyed or irreparably altered in some way.

However, when people hide behind religion to cover their perverted treatment of young boys and girls, we should look away?

We pay the government to seek out and arrest such evil people. If they don't do their job, WHO WILL?

They need to operate within the boundries set by the Constitution and our laws, and they aren't.

The 'cure' in many of these cases is far more dangerous than the disease.

I understand your frustration. I too want to see evil people stopped and punished. Sometimes it tears me up when I see guilty people go unpunished.

The reality though is that our Governments hands are tied. Our constitutional rights supersede the Governments rights to go after and prosecute criminals (or at least they should). The Founding Fathers purposely did this because they realized that the governments capacity for abuse far outstripped any mere criminals ability to kill, rape or torture.

Can you think of a criminal or even criminal organization that has managed to kill a thousandth of the people that the US Government has? And I am talking about innocent people not warfare victims either.

Our system is imperfect but I and the Founding Fathers prefer it to error on the side of caution. The other option is much too terrifying.
