  • It is imperative that we making laws based on hype, hysteria, and hate if we truly want to maximize public safety and protect the quality of life for our children. It is time to demand that lawmakers listen to experts on sexual abuse to determine the right solution.

    Thanks for viewing the video and for your comment. Healthy debate is an important part of this process.

  • ...If we treat a person who exposes themselves to or fondles a child with the same level of punishment... ...as one who murders a child we will see a sharp increase in child murders.

    It's important to identify the types of crimes and offenders who are amenable to treatment and that we punish those people with some form of imprisonment followed by intensive treatment and lifetime supervision.

  • Jumboband,

    There are many initiatives to reform penalty provisions for sex offenses. It is imperative that we strike a balance between appropriate, fiscally practical penalty provisions and maximizing public safety.

    There will be unintended consequences in treating every crime with the same punishment. The reason our justice system leads the world is because of certain bedrock principles, one of which is the premise that punishment must fit the crime.

  • Of course, sadly, you don't see it that way. You're just going to argue that child molesters or rapists CAN be redeemed, and should be treated with love and kindness and understanding. Well, you're wrong on that. Anybody that has raped once will more than likely rape again at some point in the future.

  • Anybody that would rape another human being is irrevocably evil scum. There is no treatment that would work on a rapist or a child molester. There is no point in trying to redeem the irredeemable. Just lock them away somewhere or conclude them.

  • Treatment? You make it sound like its some sort of Growth that you just spread ointment over! We make decisions EVERDAY! We are affected by Circumstances Everyday! It only takes a second to turn a person in a murder or molestation, I dont believe a session or treatmen will just up and heal a bad descision! making GOOD descisions is a DAILY TASK, and ANYONE, can make a bad move in life, rather they be on or off a registry!

  • @dreamflight4 if you are still looking for help or resources, please check out our channel. Families suffer when the convicted sex offender is incarcerated and are deserving of help, information, and advice.

  • It is time to tell the truth M.Obama and your healthcare scam is the tip of an iceburg and has not bases in law. Its all about illigal government programs and the spill over from a leagl system that exploits everyone for a few pious long term districtive ideas that hold us all capative at will of the legeslation created by them under the pigheaded freaks that thought this trip up. People that want to kill their own and the kids next door. Lowlives all of you.

  • I don't know that repeat offenders are a minority when it comes to sexual offending. The recidivism rate for sexual offenders is rather high. However, I do believe that the charges falling in the bracket of sex offender are to vast.

  • It's too bad there is no audio I have no idea what your sayign. Treatment does work though, you're right about that.

  • Since they have disabled the audio it makes it impossible to get any information or help from it.

    I am the mother of a sex offender, I am looking for help for myself as well as other members of my family.

    Would you please contact me by email

    thank you

  • Great vid! Nice!

    Check this out: "Elizabeth Duggan recently completed a two and a half year sentence. He had a prior conviction in 1996 after being accused of fondling four of his neighbors -- three girls and a boy -- whose ages ranged from 6 to 8."
