I'm telling you, the only way I could live after the death of a child is by knowing that his killer was dead too.. SOunds bad perhaps but I know that's how I feel.

I'm a compassionate person and I'm also very forgiving.. But this scenario is a whole different kettle of fish!

I am too,although some people will not believe that,the reason I am so passionate about it is because it's close to my heart,when a child is murdered ,tortured and abused, it not only kills the child it kills the family too.

It's nothing about compassion or forgiveness here: I'm talking about revenge and killing. I just don't think it would be healthy for you in the long run, that's all.

I'm not talking about compassion or forgiveness either.. I just mentioned incase people assume that I am a cold blooded, callous bitch with no feelings.. It's not the case.

But I can assure you, those qualities would fly right out the window should somebody harm my child!

You keep saying that I wouldn't be able to live with myself for doing it, but to me it's the only way I could live. I don't think the death of the killer WOULD make me feel any better but him living would make me feel worse.

You have put it in a nutshell - absolutely agree.
