5 years thats a joke, bring back capitol punishment for monsters like this

[activology]

absolutely digusting both the rapist and the judges sentence! I couldn't believe the sentence when I heard it on the radio, wheres the justice! He'll sit in his comfortable cell for a few years if that watch tv, go outside for a stroll in the fresh air have his meals cooked and get paid for jobs he does! What part of that says justice, it's a joke

Having been a victim of abuse myself from a very early age Until my early teens. I know exactly what these girls have experienced. Although I have to say I was not raped at that age, that came much later. I think the youngest if she was not raped, is of an age not to be too badly affected long term by what has happened. Hopefully she will not remember anything at all. Particularly if the abuse has stopped. The older one though will have scars both physically and mentally. But the earlier the abuse stops then the better the outlook is for this little girl. i just hope she has a good family that will look after her. Presumably they will be getting help from experts.
What I cant understand is how a child of five years old can be raped and the parents dont notice anything physically wrong .

Invisible - I think it is something that has been going on for ever, but it was never confronted. It was swept under the carpet until relatively recently, like domestic violence. Also it is very difficult for the victims to speak about it .

ive spoken about this before.
id execute them .
drowning in mid atlantic.

repeat offences nil


reformed characters?
all of them

The fact that this went on for a year without the parents knowing about it is the hardest thing to understand. I know abusers are devious and he probably threatened the 5 year old to keep her quiet but there must have been physical signs of rape. It just makes me want to cry for the poor little mites.

[sambro]

Invisible - this is only my opinion, and others may disagree with me. The approach to paedophiles, and this is what we are talking about here,sex with babies and children, is all wrong. There is no comparison with adult rape. (I am not downgrading adult rape, just saying that it is an altogether different crime) To talk of making punishments harsher to make them think twice is not going to work. I don't think people choose to be that way. i think it is something that they cannot help, cannot control. I think it is as natural to them as being hetrosexual or homosexual (or dare I say both?) is to the rest of us. They cannot control themselves, but are put back onto the street to do it again and again. I have said this in previous posts, but i will say it again. The only way to keep our children safe from KNOWN paedophiles is to keep them locked up. But for reasons of cost, and their human rights they aren't. they cannot control themselves, therefore they have to be controlled.

[sambro]

I think some of them are, but it is voluntary. Some of them hate what they do, but they cannot control it. Some of them have a conscience believe it or not. As for your comments on human rights, in this case i would have to agree with you. It seems that too often the rights of the offender take precedence over the rights of the viictim. Not to mention potential future victims. It IS a sick world!

I don't believe castration would be effective in all cases, and can make things much worse in some.

One of my best friends and her brother were abused by their babysitter, at similar ages. It messed them up for years and years. Friend couldn't settle her promiscuity because of it (as odd as that sounds) for many years and her brothers marriage is verging on collapse because he lives away and wont let anyone else look after his kids. So that is 30 years they have had their lives effected by this very crime.

Considering a man got 27 months in a proper prison for touching someones breasts its not reflective is it. Life!

[horsestache1]

How on earth did the parents NOT notice something was wrong with their children!! in a whole year?

The judge said that the 17 year old was very young for his age, why did they leave their kids with him?

This animal should be sent to an ordinary prison, full of petty criminals with children, I wonder how long he would last!

[ludwig]

Sambro - I completely agree with you. You cannot cure a paedophile any more than you can 'cure' a homo/heterosexual - or tame a tiger for that matter.
The only thing you can do is control them, because they will always be a danger, and they cannot be trusted to control themselves.
That means longer sentences than 2 - 3 years. Because that's what we're talking about here, not 5. Whenever you see a prison sentence quoted, you have to halve it to get the actual time that will be served.

[Goodsoulette]

Do you not think its heart breaking enough for the parents without you speculating why they didn't notice? They will be asking themselves this very question but we don't internally examine our children, do we!Sex offenders are generally very devious, the boy may have seemed young after he was caught out but maybe he didn't before. No doubt he threatened the children. My heart breaks not only for the children but for the parents too.

[sambro]

Goodsoulette -yes you do have a point, and I have to admit that I know nothing of the circumstances other than that he was a babysitter, and have no idea how caring or otherwise the parents are. But as a victim of abuse myself, I cannot understand how a 17 year old can actually rape a 5 year old and there not be outward signs of damage without the need for internal examination.

[sambro]

Goodsoulette - your friends promiscuity is not at all odd. I had the same problems. As a victim myself, I know that she would have felt dirty, and would have had no self respect. Even though it is not the victims fault, you feel guilty and ashamed. I was able to stop what was going on when I was about 14. Idid not have the courage till then. but I was in my forties before I was able to tell anyone about it . One thing I did do was keep my kids away from him.
Has your friends brother been able to get some help with his problems. He probably finds it difficult to talk about it.
I wish I had told someone about it years before I did.
