People such as this guy should never be turned loose on society again.johnsdad said:Teacher
Glad you agree.
The guy is a real nice guy if you just met him, very well educated, pleasant etc. Family as we grew up was very nice, church going and both he and his brother were very active in student-body politics. On the outside, he was very normal.
But, he is one sick person. I had the occasion to meet a "shrink" that worked for the state and was involved in working with hard-core criminals that were being released back into society after lengthy prison stays exceeding 25 years.
In the discussion, the "molester" came up and he stated that essentially these people are never cured and only about 5-10% ever go straight. That he believed that those 5-10% were not actually cured, but were just smart enough to realize that they didn't like prison, so they went straight but were really not cured of their illness.
Jail is the best place and then a monitor on them for the rest of their lives when and if you ever let them out.
It's a sad story, but so is a much worse sad story for the parents, families, and the child if they are molested or worse.

It is my personal opinion that pedophiles deserve the death penalty.
I have two stepdaughters who were molested by my wife's ex-husband.
They are now both in their 20's and still have to deal with emotional issues tied to them being molested when they were children.
This crime is in my opinion, worse than murder because the victims suffer for it forever.
