Punishment for Sex Offenders

Submitted by Rebecca, May 7, 2007 14:18

under no circumstances will i ever agree with Mr. Sheldon. How can he say that " paid their debt to society"?...so they spend a few yesars in prison, big deal, what about all of the people they leave scarred? Afraid? Unable to escape the memory of their attack. I dont even wnat to start on the child molesters...but i will...they truly disgust me, hurting a child in any way shape or form i believe should be punishable by death...they have taken the childhood and security away from those they molest and rape...I believe there should be harsher punishment for sex offenders because they are truly the ones who cause the most damage. The people who really create future killers. I realize that i am young and most people would say i dont know what i am talking about, but i was raped and molested as a child, keeping my future children safe from anything that could harm them is my number one priority...as are the same as any other good parent out there.
