The disappearance of Elizabeth Smart and the kidnapping, rape and brutal murder of Samantha Runnion have FReepers asking WHY are these monsters on our streets instead of in prison. This old article gives a lot of answers to those questions.

This is an older article it is NOT online. The information in it is valuable in understanding why we are not locking our sex offenders up for life.

Good article. It's time for the people to rise up and DEMAND life sentences for these child-rapists.

Not this FReeper. I'm asking why someone isn't executed for rape and murder.

Not surprisingly both examples are cases that originate in the mostly LIBERAL courts in the extremely LIBERAL States of our country.

. "Up to the mid-1960s, we saw few juvenile sex offenders," reports veteran forensic psychologist John Cochran. "Today, there's a flood."

Up until the mid 60's, young women didn't dress like hookers. They dressed properly and responsibly, not attempting to attract the attention of older men, the men with MONEY. Watching the school kids walk past my home in the afternoon is as good as going to a strip show.

If they were my kids,.........well, I better not say it here.

I'm not the kind to shoot my TV but yesterday when they showed a picture of Avila I ran up and slapped his face. A little insane, yes but oh how I'd like to get near him right now. I just think that no torture would be enough for him and I really want him to hurt. It just makes me so furious!!!!!!!!!

In September 1989, Dodd raped and killed William and Cole Neer, ages 10 and 11. In October he sodomized four-year-old Lee Iseli, then hung the boy in a closet to die. In November, Dodd was caught trying to abduct another boy from a movie theater. He now awaits execution.

Wesley Allen Dodd accepted Christ as his Savior after his last arrest, but did what few other prisoners who claim to have changed after becoming a Christian. He demanded that no defense be put forward and demanded that he be sentenced to death by hanging. Unlike many others, Dodd accepted that part of repentence still meant that he must accept the punishment as the consequences of his sins. Dodd was eventually executed by hanging and resisted all unwanted attempts to have his death sentence set aside.

Raising children without fathers, and a sexualized culture do this.

I am sickened by this and outraged. If the prisons are too crowded then build more or impose the death penalty to all rapists, molestors and murderers and it will create vacancies real quick in the prisons we already!
Saving taxpayers lots of money at the same time! When are people going to wake up and smell the coffee of reality.

One more thing. When a kid is molesting other kids there is a very high chance he was molested.

Find that person as well.

We can't lock these violent, life-destroying offenders up for too long or we'll run the risk of running out of prison space needed for all the pot smokers and other people convicted of victimless crimes.
