What do you think is fair punishment for child molesters? What would you do if it was your own child?

They should be tortured.....when they castrate them they should do it without giving them pain medication. I don't think it's fair when people get the death penalty all that they "suffer" is a little injection by a lethal shot! When they die they have no worries and then we get to pay for it with our tax dollars!! The person/family they commited the crime against usually is tortured and suffereing for the rest of their lives! It should be "eye for eye tooth for tooth"

What if the person is convicted and then punished accordingly by your standards here and it comes to light that he/she was in fact innocent? I cannot tell you how many time I have heard horror stories about abuse. both physical and sexual, and what gets to me is how detailed and convincing stories can be only to find out they were false. Castration isn't an issue as there are a LOT of abusers who have nothing to castrate (women abusers) and even some abusers who ARE castrated. Killing them isn't an option at all because "Thou shalt not commit murder". Taking the life of another human being for any reason IS murder, even if they would deserve it, even if they themselves committed murder, even in a war. But in EVERY court action of rape and molestation, after a defendant is convicted, the victims or victims family DO get to make statements to the court and the jury and/or judge hears these pleas and pass sentence accordingly. Allowing these victims to pass judgment alone would not work because of the emotional issue as already stated. Also, which family member gets to decide if they are not unanimous??

The justice system is so royally screwed up that I sometimes wonder if we might even be better off without one at all.\n\nAs someone who was abused by a sexual offender in the past, I would love to know why the accused offenders are getting more sympathy than the victims? That's no different than how the system currently works. Some officials won't believe a kid no matter what they say so the offender is never tried for their crimes and continues to do it.

Child molester--***"Hell"*** ( But theres only one real judge and He will make that choice.) Other than that, I would sentence a child molester to the longest, slowest, most painful death anyone, anywhere could come up with. Because to me a child molester is the lowest of all lows.I cannot bear the thoughts of anyone stealing a childs innonence away for their own disgusting pleasures. Honestly I cant put all i think should happen to a child molester on here. As for a serial killer, thats alittle harder, yet I guess if you take a life you should be willing to give up yours. I cant say on this one because it would all depend on what the circumstances were. But there still would have to be a very severe sentence handed down. I just dont know what i would do, if it were my choice. This is why I'm not a judge i suppose. And last, the lil' ole man, again circumstaces would have to decide his fate. Damn, I glad I'm not the Judge, just those 3 has me bent already !!! I at least, now, know what I never want to be!  :)

Nah, I think it is crazy to think that you (or whomever!) would be punished for being raped by an underage person. It isn't as if you initiated the sex and it was non-consensual so you really couldn't be prosecuted.

I agree!!!!! there are too many sick child molesters in this world. when they get caught they get slapped on the wrist by the justice system, then alot of times they end up killing Innocent little children. I think they should get a long jail sentence the first time they hurt a child!

They should be awarded capital punishment, even in countries where it has been abolished.\nBy molesting someone you are destroying that persons life, maybe mentally too. Imagine the agony that some victims have to undergo day in and out as long as they are alive when they relive those ghastly moments. Comparatively, killing the perpetrators is a lot more humane. \nst

I work in Social Work and see cases of child molestors who were in fact molested themselves as children.  \n\nWhilst I condem what they do and hate it with a vengence, the person carrying out the molestation needs help every bit as much as the person being molested.  \n\nFrom what I understand of this matter, the person molesting does know it is wrong but seem to want to hurt others as they have been hurt!  It seems to give them back some kind of 'power' or 'control' that was robbed of themselves when they were children when they become the perpetrators back. \n\nI really think these people need a lot of help to give them back their self-worth and dignity or else they may continue to do what they do.

Protecting your offspring is a very strong natural urge. Could I kill to protect my daughters? Yes, Probably before I could kill to save my own life.\n\nElizabeth, I agree with you about the perverts. I never could understand how many pedophiles actually make it to trial. If it was my child I'd hunt them down and they should pray the cops find them first because I would not let them have a quick and easy death!!

I was molested by my brother when I was 13 and while I would like to say yes, I can't. I've forgiven my brother since then, but my forgiving him doesn't mean that I've suddenly forgot about the entire incident or that I approve of what happened. I think this is not the corse to take. I do think that harsher penalties should be in place though. There was one case that I was watching on Court TV and this guy raped a minor and only got 6 months for it. That's a slap on the wrist. I don't this would be grounds for you to use the word murder though. These child molesters in a sense have murdered their victims, because I and many others will never be the same. I use the word murder because that is exactly what it seems like because they kill your soul and any hope you had for the future.

Done.  What is wrong with you people?  Did you not click on the link and see that it is a petition to put a law in place?  This little girl named Amy was STRANGLED to death by another child.  The child should DEFINATELY be punished, if you ask me.  I have children and if my children killed another child, I would hope they would recieve the proper punishment.  It is the responsibility we have as parents to raise our children correctly.  And if they screw up, there is an age where a child knows the difference and I do feel they should be accounted for their actions.\n\nOh, and you don't have to be a resident of Georgia to sign it.  I am a resident of Arizona, and my signature went through just fine.

We are way too easy on those who decide to abuse children. Here is my answer to these people who abuse our loved ones\nSex Offender Legislation “Wish List” \n1-GPS and lifetime supervision/treatment Law The failure of today's solutions regarding sexual offenders is because we are stuck in the strategy of “public notification” rather than “controlling offenders”. The current model puts the burden on parents rather than offenders, and makes the wrong people work to prevent abuse. Remotely (GPS) knowing where an offender is at all times throughout his lifetime can help to prevent that offender from creating new cases of sexual abuse.\n2-Include all known offenders in the management plan-for life. It is wrong to include just those under supervision since the Meagan’s Law was written. People do not ever age out of this behavior so why an old is charge less important than a new charge. Sexual offences are the most under reported crimes (according to the FBI). The fact that a molester has not been arrested recently does not necessarily means he has not offended. In my opinion all offenders should be included in any plan, regardless of when their offense occurred. I believe some states have done this already. \n3-Put all offenders , levels I, II or III on the website . I believe Florida does this. The leveling tool is very poor and pedophiles often end up with only a level I because they did not use force, and they superficially complied with treatment. The way the leveling system works pedophilic “groomers” who do not use force (and are the most busy of all offenders with hundreds of victims) are often not level III’s and therefore are able to have their offense relatively unknown. In New York for example offenders can lawyer up and reduce the “level” they get at their hearing. Molesters can assert they are “non violent”, “sober”, ect, and get the “points” reduced or get the judge to “override” the scale. Currently the public notification system is failing. All offenders of all levels should be on the website. \n4- “Victim Shield Law”. As you know one of the few protections we offer rape victims is “Rape shield laws”, in order to at least try and prevent a rape victim’s sexual history from being put on trial rather than the rapist. In child sexual abuse cases there are no “Rape shield laws” to prevent the victim, or the victim’s family (often the mother) from being made the center of negative attention. In the past defense lawyers for rapists would portray rape victims as promiscuous, today child molester’s lawyers portray victims and victim’s mothers as manipulative, litigious, unreliable, angry, mentally ill, sociopathic, medicated, or undedicated. Because we as a society love to blame women, especially mothers, molesters have been able to harness the misogyny in our culture in order to escape responsibility for their offences. Like the old rape cases that would revolve around the victims sexual past, today molester cases revolve around a child or a mother’s real or fictional problems instead of the focus of attention being the sexual abuse committed by the offender. I do not know if there can ever be a “victim shield law” to prevent the victim/victim’s mother being put on trial rather than the molester, but I know it would help victims avoid being re-traumatized in the system and help society hold sexual offenders accountable. One of the things to always remember with offenders is they are control seekers, and will take any opportunity to attack rather than just defend. They feel entitled to their behavior and see being held accountable as an injustice they are being forced to suffer, and they have zero guilt in harming any number of people (even their children) in order to escape the consequences they deserve.\n5-Plea deals down to “Endangering the welfare of a minor”. Despite the underlying behavior being the sexual abuse of children offenders are often

I say let the parents Kill him (or the child).  Their method of choice.\n\nMinimum, physical castration (penis and all).  He can use a catheter for the rest of his life, I don't care.  And NEVER let them into society again. \n\nIt would be cheaper to kill them than to house them...\n\nHere's what I would do if given the chance (continuously torture him until his body gives out. I call it Therapy.); \nLet Bubba have his 'way' with them first.  Then peel off all the guys skin, pour honey on him, and stake him over an ant hill....staple his eyes open too so they dry out. Starve him... Pull his fingernails off with pliers...the beat the SOB with a baseball bat (break some ribs, hit him in the kidneys).  Leave him to cook in the hot hot sun until he blisters...Poke his skinless body with a fondue fork...OH! Put salt and lemon juice on him....Break his nose and fingers...Snip his toes off with a pair of wire cutters...\n\n(I could go on and on. I really hate people who rape/molest women/children. It p*sses me off something fierce!)\n\nChildren that are victomized will never be the same again. It causes all sorts of life long problems that cannot be fixed.
