A Tragic Ending That Never Should Have Happened
Word came from Georgia this evening that the man police were questioning in connection with the missing child in Florida had confessed to kidnapping and killing her. Although there are few details available at this writing, there is one glaring fact above all others: this child did not have to die.
The man who confessed was a multiple offender, and had accosted a five year old girl while she was sleeping in her own bed. He did not do the full sentence that he received. He changed his residence, or stayed in other places without notifying the Florida corrections officials. He did not change, was not “reformed” in prison, nor did the experience of being locked away humble him into controlling his perverted urges.
Pedophiles do not change. That is not my opinion, that is fact supported by multiple studies. Some apologists may say “they cannot help themselves”. My answer is I don’t care whether they can help themselves or not. They need to be in a place where they are permanently away from children.
Years ago on the west coast, a young man convicted of rape and murder of a couple of young boys admitted that were he released immediately, he would begin stalking more young victims. Over and over, we hear psychologists tell us how hard, or nearly impossible it is to keep pedophiles under control. Chemical or physical castration does not work, because their urges are not only sexual, they are feelings of dominance and power over another human, and often the desire to harm. Looking into the mind of a pedophile is chilling, and a plunge into the depths of human depravity.
So what do we do when someone is convicted of sexually molesting children?
Our society must protect the innocent, the young, and those who can’t fight back. I believe there are only two solutions, and neither involves reform, counseling, or any other attempt to mitigate what is in the mind of the attacker. I believe they must be locked away for life, without the possibiity of parole, or executed, using new state statutes that provide for such a penalty, and satisfy federal scrutiny.
Anything other than that only endangers more children like the little nine year old in Florida, and countless others I would rather not write about in your morning news.
No one could have said it, or wrote it, better. Bravo! And Amen!!
I prefer the execution option for savages who hurt children — with one stipulation. I would like to see the victims family be given about 5 mintues alone with the perp before he or she is put on a hot rail to Hell! Now, thats what I call closure!
Great stuff, I am putting a link to it on a blog I work with.
Keep writing, love the blog and the show.

This is not new to us, time after time these perverts are release back into our kids world. Its time we held the judges and Doctors that release them accountable. Isnt that called malpratice? We are weak now, feeling sorry for the perverts and not thinking at all about what these scum
do after the get out. There are 100,000 of them the the molesters list. Half of them live near you. Your neighbor.
We dont need them at all. Dont need to feed them its a waste of money and time.
Once you harm a child in that way you should be put to death, in the worst way you could think of. No mercy.
