My 2 cent's worth on pedophiles.
Just my 2 cent's worth....
I think that it's getting to the point where we HAVE to start regarding these people as permanent dangers to society. There is no rehab for these dudes...chemical/surgical castration, whilst it takes away the physical means of comitting the crime, doesn't do anything to stem the thoughts and desires. Those are still there.
Many of these idiots can say that they're rehabilitated when they're in jail, but...there aren't any little kids there. They're out of temptation's way. It's a whole different game when they're back out on the streets, where they see kids playing or going to and from school on a daily basis. There's a saying that a lot of 12-step programs use: 'If you don't want to get hit by a train, you don't go stand next to the railroad tracks'. Releasing convicted child molestors and rapists into ANY community is like setting them down inches away from a railroad track.
I personally think they should either be executed or incarcerated for the rest of their lives. No chance of release, no parole, probation, nothing....the only way they should be let out of jail is toe-tagged and in a body bag. Alternatively, they could be institutionalized fir the rest of their natural lives. Either way, they should never be released into the community again.
We OWE it our children, the next generation of Americans, to provide them with an environment that is relatively safe from these kiddie-rapists. We don't owe these fucked-up bastards a damn thing.
