What kind of question is that?????\n\nWould you like to be molested and nothing is done to the person????\nOr would you be ok if someone molested your child????\n\nI DON'T THINK SO!!

i agree with you. i think we should tie murderers rapists and child molesters to a pole, beat them senseless and slash them up to pieces and display it for all the world to see.

I agree!!!!! there are too many sick child molesters in this world. when they get caught they get slapped on the wrist by the justice system, then alot of times they end up killing Innocent little children. I think they should get a long jail sentence the first time they hurt a child!

Abosfuckinglutely!\nI think there ought to be a special law allowing us to bludgeon repeat offenders.\nWith a bar of soap in a pillow case.

No.  Paedophiles admit themselves that they will reoffend.  They can't help themselves.  It's an overwhelming desire within them that drives them to such monstrosities.  However, it is possible that they are repentant, and that prison is extremely unmerciful for Paedophiles.  As such, they should be released from prison after their sentence is complete, and into full -time residential Psychiatric care, like a sealed community, into which no innocent children must ever venture.  It will remain a prison because it must be secure, but it will contain only child-molesters.  Psychiatric help should be available to these individuals as it may be that they have traumatic pasts themselves, but they should never, ever be released into society - ours or another.\n\nIt is true that this will rely on the tax-payer's money, but who would rather they roamed the streets amongst our children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews than we paid a few extra quid to keep them locked away?\n\nP.S. Castration is a good idea in theory, but they still have hands and mouths... (sorry to be distasteful, but it's an ugly truth...)

sex offenders should have their balls cut off.. this law is not nearly enough..\n\ntwisted donut.. \n\nno sex offender is a one time person doing a stupid thing.. i suggest you do some research in that particular sexual varience.. \n\n>>>psychology lesson... pedophelia is a mental disorder.. many people can live with it and not actually commit a crime against a child.. once they do.. they are a threat to society.. it sounds harsh.. but if you have the background on the disorder you cant excuse it.. there is no mental illness that has a "cure" ... but people can live with a disorder and still be productive members of society this is what psychologists refer to in the field as "recovery"\n...\nas for laws not stopping them...\n\nthats why i said cut their balls off..\n\nchs is right about it being a feel good law. (somewhat).. but his background in law obviouslly lacks a foundation in the psychology behind this issue..\n\ni say somewhat.. because he fails to mention the proposed mandatory minimum sentences in these new laws which keep these nuts off the streets..(there are a lot of new laws being proposed on this topic every day..) instead he has seemed to take the route of only addressing how these laws are to be used as a deterrent.

If there is more than one child involved or if they are a repeat offender, then the death penalty.  And I'm serious.  There isn't a cure for this sickness.  They shouldn't be allowed to continue to ruin children's lives/futures.

Yes, it'd be better if children were prevented from such events, because they may not truly understand the implications of sex, and fetishes, etc.\nst

They should not have to live that way. It is definitely not right. Rehabilitated former sex offenders deserve, along with their families, the rights all Americans deserve. The right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, once they have paid their debt to society. \n\nTo prevent these murders from happening the United States needs to get back to the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights! They need to take down all the Registries. The original intent of these registeries were for LAW ENFORCEMENT and only for the Violent Sexual Predators. That is how it should be!\n\nAmerica wake up! You will be next. Your Civil Rights are eroding daily with the Patriot Act and similar laws. Eventually you will see, but by then, it will be too late.

DEFINITELY should tighten up the laws concerning child molesters -- these are monsters in every sense of the word -- and just letting them out with little restrictions on their behaviors is a recipe for DISASTER -- and the Disaster is the continuance of the Molesting Behaviors in the future.\n\nNot only should California Tighten up these laws, but I have another Suggestion for California:\n\nHOW ABOUT if CALIFORNIA tightens up it's Child Support Enforcement Laws too!  My Ex-Spouse ABUSED my children, and was not just able to continue contact with the children (which disgusts me to begin with -- stupid California "justice") -- but he then was also able to continue to slide off the face of Child Support Enforcement, and now ... 19 years later, I AM STILL looking for Child Support Enforcement!

No .. I think parents should be able to offer a butt whoopen if they are stupid enough to do something like that. But parents should be making their children more aware of sexual preditors on the internet.

Well, this is a tough question. And there is NO easy answer. First of all, it really does not matter whether we would like them to be released or not as the legal authority has made the rules. It does however seem that many of the released sexual convicts do seem to congregate in areas near schools and young families (which is well defined in all states) although it may just be that it SEEMS that way because we only notice that. In addition, there are many types of 'sexual abuse' lumped into one legal definition. I agree that the pervert 25 to 65 year old molesting a young girl or the 20-something female schoolteacher molesting a male student has a serious problem. But what about the 18 year old boy and his 17 year old girlfriend? Or the two 15 year old lovers? (Apart from the 'rape' issue) In most states they are legally equated and must be on the offender's list. That being said, this is a major issue we are currently dealing with as my district (I am my district's representative to my state's Children's Abuse Prevention Board) is home to a very sick predator who killed a family, abducted 2 children and later killed one of them. The remaining child was rescued and the predator awaits trial. I can't imagine what goes through his sick brain to commit such an act. He was released from another state by a judge who apparently did not understand how sick this guy really is. \nWhat can you do? Know your state's laws and abide by them. Find out who these people are and avoid them. If they illegally live too close to a school or playground, report them to authorities. Be aware that you may not harrass them in most states and they have legal recourse against you if you do. Above all, know where your children are, who they are with, and that they are informed of what to do in a bad situation. Practice with your kids if necessary. AND REMEMBER, IF YOUR KIDS HAVE TO 'JUST SAY NO' IT IS ALREADY TOO LATE. A SITUATION EXISTS AND THEY MUST BE PREPARED TO KNOW WHAT TO DO.

Yes.\n\nI just hope we do find out who did or didn't know. I don't care what party they are in. \n\nFamilies trust these politicians when they send their teenage children to Washington to be interns, etc..\n\nNo sort of pedophilia should be acceptable no matter if it is just emails... which I highly doubt it was just emails btw.

We should condemn the politicians, media and lobbyists who are creating the uncalled for hysteria towards rehabilitated former sex offenders. \n\nThe FACT is that rehabilitated former sex offenders have the lowest recidivism rate, with the exception of murderers. Your child has a much higher chance of being harmed by a drug dealer/user, drunk driver, gang activities, drowning, playground accident, sexual abuse by someone known to the family and parental neglect. As a matter of fact, there is a 90 to 95% chance that someone known to the child will commit an offense instead of the register sex offenders. Yes, there are some horrific cases, but they are few and far between the actual truth. If you would look on the FBI website you would see that many more children each year are killed by parents, drowning, drunk drivers, etc. than they are by registered sex offenders.\n\nRather than have this Country cause all this hysteria, spend needless tax dollars on a registry and the new laws that will do nothing to prevent child abuse, we need to learn how to prevent sexual abuse, we need education on the issue and we need sensibility. These laws were originally created for the Sexually Violent Predator and only for law enforcement use. We need to go BACK to the original intent. The registries are so watered down now with completely non dangerous persons the truly dangerous can get lost in the crowd.\n\nBy the way, I have no fear on this issue. I speak out all the time. I work with rehabilitated former sex offenders everyday.

They shouldn't.\n\nIt allows them too much freedom to commit new crimes and to follow their victims.\n\nThey're suppossed to be being punished, right?

In most cases...I totally agree. I do believe there are some crimes that don't fit in that catagory. \nIf someone molested my child and my husband went after that person and killed him....I do NOT believe that he should get the same. I believe that the justice system is so messed up its unbelievable.\n\nRight here...locally...a man shook his 4 month old baby boy (there was a twin sister)shook him so hard it killed him.....2 years later...he is sentenced to 5 years. Thats when I believe in your therory. That man should be put in general population and have it announced over the intercom system what he is in for.\n\nI believe any act of crime against a child should be a maximum penalty.....bar none.....why does this criminals rights get taken into consideration.....The child will suffer and remember what ever happened for the rest of their life.....if they are alive. And we worry about the rights of the criminal.....I have to wonder..if a judges child has ever been a victim....would it change their beliefs?\n\nOK..Sorry...this really hit home for me....very good question !!!

I would consider the robbery felon and the murder felon.  I believe they can be rehabilitated.  The robber a little more than the murderer.  Murder is up there with molestation but there is no excuse for molestation in my mind.  A person that would take advantage of a child in that way would do any of the other two as well.\nJust my opinion.\nWith that said, everyone should be given a second chance but not a third.
