IF YOU CAUGHT SOMEONE
MOLESTING YOUR CHILD – WOULD YOU KILL THAT PERSON?
Last week - 65-year-old Jim Dykes
killed 66-year-old Charles Albert Poland before escaping with a kindergartener,
who has Asperger’s syndrome and ADD and brought him down to his basement/bunker
for a week.
Officers stormed the bunker to
rescue the boy, who was taken to a hospital.
Dyke’s is dead.
Neighbors described Dykes as a man
who once beat a dog to death with a lead pipe, threatened to shoot
children for setting foot on his property, and patrolled his yard at night with
a flashlight and a firearm.
Neighbors
described?!?!?
Are you
serious?
I don’t know about
you, but if my neighbor was threatening to shoot children for
setting foot on his property, and patrolling his yard at night with a flashlight
and a firearm – I WOULD HAVE TAKEN ACTION
LONG AGO!
IF I HAD TAKEN
ACTION, SHOULD I BE PUNISHED?
WHEN IT COMES TO OUR KIDS, DO
YOU THINK THAT PRE-EMPTIVE MEASURES TO PROTECT THEM [I.E, INTIMIDATION OR
PHYSICALITY] SHOULD BE LEGAL?
AN
EXAMPLE
A father caught a
47-year-old man molesting his four-year-old daughter.  And he responded . . .
well . . . like just about how any father would.
He BEAT THE HELL
out of the guy.  He ended up hitting him in the head so many times, it killed
the guy. 
He hasn't been
arrested . . . a grand jury will determine if he'll face any
charges.
WAS HE JUSTIFIED?
SHOULD HE BE PUNISHED?
Hell.
NO!
How many more names
will be added to the list of victims before we decide we've had enough?
How many more times
will we turn a blind eye to the startling recidivism rate for child molesters
before we say no more?
And how
much longer will we tolerate misguided judges who refuse to keep sexual
predators locked up, instead ordering probation or counseling based on the naive
belief that there is a "cure" for what therapists euphemistically call
"inappropriate sexual urges"?
The lives and
well-being of our children hang in the balance as we struggle to answer these
questions.
Child sexual
abuse is not some fantasy created by scandal-driven media or hysterical mothers.

This whole collapse
of adult behavior just reinforces the tragic truth that even in our first-world
society there are far too many vulnerable kids.
Jerry Sandusky says
he is not a pedophile, but admitted that he "horsed around" with kids and that
he "shouldn't have showered with those kids."
The behavior of the
latter creates the former. He does not sound insane or delusional, but simply
like a man who does not get it.
This whole collapse
of adult behavior just reinforces the tragic truth that even in our first-world
society there are far too many vulnerable kids.
The trial that
seems to be CONFIRMING Jerry Sandusky's horribly deviant behavior acts as a
tragic reminder that we all must be extra diligent in knowing not only whom our
kids hang out with, but the adults who guide them while we are not
looking.
Even the most
conservative of statistics, those from sources as reputable as the FBI,
are staggering:
·      One in four girls and one in six boys will be a victim
of sexual abuse, and 85% of the perpetrators will be someone the child knows.
·      Despite our increased awareness and the call for stiff
penalties, fewer than 1 in 20 offenders arrested for sex crimes against children
spend any "hard time" in prison.
·      For those who are incarcerated and released, there is a
75% certainty that they will commit new offenses, which may explain why adult
sex offenders report an average of 23 child victims.
According to our
research of the California and other state lists there were 939 registered sex offenders living in San Diego
in August 2011.

The ratio of
number of residents in San Diego to the number of sex offenders is 1391 to
1.

The number
of registered sex offenders compared to the number of residents in this city is
smaller than the state average.
Given these
statistics, it is shocking to see how leniently the courts treat this crime and
how often child molesters are repeatedly allowed just one more
chance.
The sexual predation of
children is not a crime that can be prevented or controlled by trying to change
the perpetrator's pattern of desire. Their desires are immutable and ingrained.
Changing the Earth's rotation would seem easier.
The only real
answer lies in incarceration…or DEATH. Giddy up.
