Agreed we can wait for the facts, but if these facts follow the current trend, its time to start castrating and jailing pedophiles. Zero Tolerance must be the policy.

I have a question, Is this not a big enough problem that the Governement or Bush should not at least take a stand or at least comment on it? I beleieve Sheriff Carona from Orange County was in D.C this morning at the Bush address.

I mean how many little kids have to be abducted before someone steps forward and says that we as a society and as a species will not tolerate this behavior?

This has been bothering me alot lately here folks, I dont just mean casually concerned either. I believe that something must happen. I think one conviction of child sexual contact or assault should result in life imprisonment with their balls in a glass jar next to their cot.

IF the child sexual assault results in death of the child as in Samanthas case, it should be immediate bullet to the head. Or as one freeper posted earlier this week, put the perp in an electric chair in the courtroom, jury finds him guilty, they throw the switch and electrocute them on the spot. How much is too much? How many children to die is not enough to make a stand?

Yes I have a new baby girl at home and I am freaking out on this sh!t.

Our society has been smoothly convinced in recent years that most abductions were commited by non-custodial parents and therefor we have let down our guard.
Networking can help
prayers can help
people on the streets can help
Of course there is media hype, but that is true with many, many topics in the news.
Car chases included.

I'm near St. Louis - they are saying the child was up in the morning with her dad - mom home too - girl in PJ's - she wanted cereal - dad said "I'll get it in a minute" - he went to the john - came back and she was gone - grandparents live across the street - they thought she may have walked over there - she often did go over there - she wasn't there - sound familiar - dunno where they (national news) are coming up with this red haired guy with a goatee they are lookin for - local news says nothin about him.

Demsux - can you add anything here.

Wait a minute - more coming in - confusing - apparantly the dad moved or came into the nieghborhood to be near his children (divorced?) - the mom and kids stayed with the dad in this house - same details about the cereal and stuff - but there was another man in the house sleeping on the couch - when the dad came out of the john the little girl and the guy from the couch were gone - the guy came back soaking wet - saying he had gone for a swim - he's the red haired goatee guy - he's been in custody every since being questionned.

The sad thing is if it turns out that the little girl was asleep in her room under a pile of stuffed animals, we'll all be feeling good, smiling and happy, but I'm not going to get a ton of private replies telling me how right I was to caution patience, but if she has been abducted and something terrible happens to her, I'm sure I'll get plenty saying "You idiot! I told you so!" (My question to them will be "Told me what?")

I didn't say an abduction wasn't a tragedy. I didn't say anything rediculous like that she or her parents deserved it. All I said was what we've been saying here for a long time: You can't trust the media. So now it makes you feel good and righteous and indignant and self-important so this time it's OK? Actually, I hope my cynicism proves true and this was all just hype over nothing. Now THAT sounds like optimism to me.
