MOLESTERS DON'T USUALLY GET PRISON

I DO NOT understand how child molesters could be considered "sick." How could they walk away after destroying an innocent child?

No wonder molesters strike more than once. Why not? They usually don't receive prison time.

When is society going to fight back? When will something be done to protect our children? When will justice be served on these molesters?

When will they be put in prison to suffer as much as the children have, and will, for the rest of their lives? Does this crazy society think these children are "normal" now? Well, they are not.

A molester can never be cured. The systems that are supposed to keep our children safe are allowing molesters to seek another life! So society is allowing the molester to feel it is OK to hurt children. When society lets these children down, the children will turn on society.
