Castrated Child Molester

[Oceanbreeze]

I wonder if he was my sister's patient. No he should not be allowed to be out even he had castrated. I do not believe he is cured by it. It is our duty to protect our children from those sicko.

Amen! I agree with you, Jazzy.

 

[Oceanbreeze]

Most of the answers above are emotion-based and even though the responses are understandable, the law is the law. We cannot be reduced to vigiliantism! Write to your lawmakers! In the meantime, there is a public list for each State (I think each State, not sure) of the names and current addresses of molesters who have served their time.

Pehaps, so. But, I believe the protection of children trumps the supposed rights of the convicted sexual predator. These people can't be cured, and therefore, we need to keep them in a controlled environment. If that means for the remainder of their lives, so be it.

I agree that we need to change our laws. In the meantime, we need to protect our kids any way possible. The lists only name those that have been convicted, and that list is far from complete. State laws vary, and there are many loopholes in the laws for these creeps to jump through. If keeping them on a mental ward will help, then, I say do it.

He should be kept committed in a mental hospital anyways. He can be committed to a mental hospital after he had finished his prison term.

and oh BTW the states and cities are getting TOUGH on sex offenders by telling them they cant live 1,000 to 2,000 feet from churches, daycares, schools, parks, and anywhere kids gather. Georgia just passed a law that is sooo tough on sex offenders than any other state by including bus stops. That means no sex offender can live anywhere in GA as there are over 150,000 bus stops.

Not as tough as you think. There are many loopholes in our laws that needs to be plugged. I believe in castration. But, I also don't think it's full proof. The only way we're going to stop our kids from becoming victimized is to keep our kids away from them. We also need to educate our children. There's lots of things that we need to do. A "one fix fixes all" approach isn't going to work. This issue needs to be dealt with on lot of levels.

Very true.

Keep in mind that the term "Sex offender" is an incredibly broad term, and all the negative connotations that are attached aren't necessarily warranted. What about the 18 year old boy who gets caught having sex with his 17 year old girlfriend? Press charges, and he's on a list, and you're horrified he's living in the same building. "Sex offenders" are painted with a very wide brush, and for every sicko who gets off on luring little kids to their ruin, there's four college frat guys who were dared to moon the local sorority on parent's night. These are the kinds of things that are called sex offense.

Recidivism is an interesting occurrence. Generally, the chance of returning to a crime decreases substantially when the perpetrator has a strong support network helping him stay clean, as it were. How many support networks are there to help some guy who did a horrible thing, that he can't ever erase from his memory, and can barely stand to live with how he hurt some family? He doesn't want to do it again, but he doesn't know how to stop. He doesn't know how to stop because whenever anyone finds out what he did, the immediate and universal reaction is one of utter revulsion.

I know it's not nice to contemplate, but good people can do horrible evil things, just as horrible, evil people can do very good things.

I still wouldn't take a chance.

Drunk drivers kill thousands yearly. Should we have a list, a registry, because they're likely to drive drunk again? Why even bother with programs like Al-anon? Why take the chance?

You also need to look at the fact that in another countries where if somebody has ..... " touched " a child then he is immediately shot by a firing squad. Those people in those countries do not play games with justice.

In those countries sexual abuse is very unheard of and very low child abuse rates than here in the USA. What we are doing here is basically chaining the serious sex offenders on a post then they break loose to harm children and no wonder we have guys who are doing it again 2 or 3 times or more meanwhile in another countries, you touch a kid then you are dead and buried period. The USA has gotten so politically correct and it is just very insane. We used to lynch and shoot those sick types of people in those days. Now we are basically saying here is a dog collar and here is a monitor for on your ankle and you are free to go and psst ..... Hello, don't touch any kids

If the child is under 18 and has sexually abused somebody then get him the help but once he is an adult. He faces a firing squad if he " touches " a kid. That is how it should be.

What about the 18 year old girl who has sex with her 17 year old boyfriend? The electric chair?

Well .... I was thinking more along the lines of violent sex crimes or clear cut cases of sexual abuse.

Of course, I probably would tell that girl he is still in school and has not graduated from high school yet and he is only 17 and living with his parents.

Most girls don't turn out to be sick type of people towards children.

I would say use common sense when applying justice here.

 

[LuciaDisturbed]

My father was 28 and my mother 16 when I was born.

That's statuatory rape.

I wish my dad was in jail.

He is an asshole.

 

[IslandGal]

I really do not understand how some people have the nerve to say to give the sex offenders another chance in society

Most boys don't, either.

In any case, common sense is great except where it doesn't apply. How can you realistically apply common sense to something as horrific as child molestation? Or murder? Or vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated? Or armed robbery?

We have laws so that we don't have to refer to a chimeric "common sense" which is common only in the sense that it's the way I think things should be, for limited values of I.

I find it to be the height of hubris to claim that some people aren't worth helping.

You make a good point. This is why I believe alot of the laws in our country need to be changed. We need to protect our children, but we also need to protect our innocent. We can't lump everything in one category and treat it all the same way. It won't work. However, I still believe that we must protect our children over all else.

Yes!

And they should lose their licenses permanmently and indefinitely. Not ever be allowed to drive ever again. And their cars impounded and confiscated.

Of course, this is analogous to castration. But castration isn't enough, why should taking away these people's cars? We should just leave them in prison forever. They have nothing left positive to contribute to society, right?

We should do that with burglars, too. And people who commit insurance fraud. And speeders.

 

[pek1]

What makes you think that he is no longer a threat to children?

I don't, but he has served his time. It's time to turn him loose. It's not legal to keep him past this time, regardless. Now it comes down to his civil liberties.

 

[pek1]

No longer a threat?

Would you . . . ? Can you . . . ?

If a sex offender/child molester was to move in next door and I had children . . . They still and always will be a threat to society.

LuciaDisturbed,

I cut your responses for a reason, as they settle on the "what if's." Well, dang, what if I get into a car accident today? What if I don't get the contract? What if I get mugged today? What if? We live in a fear-based society today; he served his time and it is in violation of the Constitution to keep him. If he offends again, then back to square one, but until then, this man has served his time and there is no constitutional reason why his rights are now being violated.

To answer your question, I would have no problem or concerns. However, if he blatently said, "man, when I get out, I'm gonna rape and sodomize everyone I can find and I will not stop." Then, I would have a problem. In the meantime, I don't, and neither should you or anyone else.
