It is about the reasoning behind it though!

I like to think that I could focus on my kid's recovery from the horrific ordeal rather then getting swallowed up in hate. Since the kid would obviously be more important then my own feelings and I'd put everything into making sure they can move past this and carry on without it hurting them anymore.

I'm not a clueless idiot, I can empathise a little with the situation.

My opinion still stands though, the law system isn't perfect but it's a godsend compared to some of the solutions offered up in this thread.

This is a debate thread, she has the right to dissect your posts like you can do to hers. You've got no right to tell her when or when not to share her opinion and who with.

I know all that, but you have still not come up with any viable alternative to a lengthy stay at her majesty's pleasure. My beef is that the sentences are laughable and are no deterrent or, more to the point, protection for children in particular.

No it's not, you'd still be a murderer in the eyes of the law and too right. the law needs to be black and white otherwise it's pointless and we'd all suffer.

I understand your frustration and believe me, I'd want some retribution too if any of the people that I love were harmed in any way, but this problem wont disappear with them in prison, you know? And don't forget that you wanted them to be chopped up or hanged in your first comment, and it's that kinda of emotive language that will sever any kind of chances of making real progress in dealing with the issue head on. As long as we're around there'll be paedophiles, and I just think we should learn more about the condition rather than give in to hate, you know?

But yeah, they shouldn't be allowed back out after offending, especially since there's no cure as of yet for their condition.

What triggers them and what made them make the leap from thinking about it of looking at it to actually doing it. This way we could pick up the early warning signs from kids who act strangely or young adults. Instead of killing someone, use them to possibly save more children from harm in the future, and intervene early if someone looks to be going that wau.

Yes.. we can use this for some of them. But not for the ones who have already murdered. Yet they will get special treatment in a rehabilitation centre and us tax payers have to pay for them? No thanks.....

How about using insults about people's age and telling them when and when not to post just because their not mothers?
