The reason I say that is from having read a number of stories where wacko psychologists have put false memories in people's minds, making them think they were molested when they actually hadn't been. Children's minds can be manipulated by some shrinks.
Personally, I'd rather see chemical castration be an option that the accused could agree to in order to see less jail time -- maybe 20 years or 5 years and castration. This way, if someone really was innocent, they wouldn't be physically ruined. Of course, their time in prison would have been horrific, but maybe this would have been better than having been castrated.
It just worries me because there is a large number of false rape reports made by women, and I can imagine some women accusing men of molestation to win custody.
Or, imagine a crazy woman telling you that if you break up with her she'll say you've been molesting her daughter. Things like that happen in the real world.
I should have read the article. It’s for the second offense, so that would probably limit the abuse of it. Bring it on...
“execution is unconstitutional for sex offenders”
Ok.....Father duct tapes 5 yr old son to kitchen chair, thus forcing him to watch as his father brutally rapes his mother and infant sister. Father serves 5 yrs....out on parole...son....still serving time ...has lived in a behavioral health facility for boys since the age of 11..unable to cope in society...imagine that! True story..he’s one of my clients. Is this justice?
I am so very tired of of everyone worrying about the rights of the child molesters!! Did these monsters ever once consider the rights of their victims? They’re sentenced for a few years, get a little councilling and then are back on the streets to do it again & again...meanwhile the victims are sentenced to life.
I say get rid of these perverts!!!
That's a sentencing problem. However, until the Supreme Court decides to revisit the issue, the fact remains that execution is unconstitutional for the crime of rape.
By the way, when you say that he's your "client," what kind of client do you mean?
I work at a Behavioral Health unit for teenage boys
