It's no assumption. It's fact. We've made a lot of progress in that such victims are now allowed to live.
How so? What I mean is, how have we progressed to the point where the abused child is allowed to live? Did we kill them before?
There are some societies who do view a person's loss of virginity to be a sin of sin, but I doubt any society would kill a child after it has been a victim of a sexual predator. Can you please show me some form of proof that we somehow killed children who were sexually abused because they were sexually abused?
No kind of threat is going to work against child rape. Threatening, chest-beating, actually carrying out executions and street justice, these will not put a dent in it and they will help prevent people from doing things that will actually work. I think that a lot of you just need the violence fix.
Few would disagree with you.
As a parent, I can honestly say that if I ever found out that an adult had sexually molested or abused or physically abused either of my son's, I would tear their limbs off and then stuff all limbs in every single orifice of the abuser. But that is just me. Is it a need to get a violence fix? Could be. Or it could be wanting to make the individual who harmed my child to pay for his or her crime against my child. I doubt any parent would embrace their child's molester or abuser as a friend after knowing the individual molested and abused their child. If you have children or have children in your life who you happen to adore, I suspect you would understand where I am coming from.
While my lust for revenge against my child's molester cannot be allowed to occur, I would rather the individual be locked away in a place where they could never be allowed to do the same to another child.
You are correct, we will never rid the world of people who feel compelled to sexually or physically abuse children to fulfill their own perverted needs. The only alternative is to put them away, be it in a jail or in a mental institution with the hope that they can somehow be rehabilitated. Capital punishment is not a deterrent and never has been. Nor is the threat of jail or therapy in a mental institution. Since I am not a supporter of capital punishment, I would vote for incarceration and therapy and making sure the abuser never be allowed to have access to children again.
I am trying to direct minds away from the violence that too many of you seem to desperately desire, and to show that there are better ways to deal.
Are you?
Or are you attempting to provoke certain responses from members and moderators alike? Ok, I'll bite. What do you propose should be done to child abusers? Do you think anything should be done to them in any way, shape or form.. as in jail, therapy, capital punishment, allowing to simply roam free?
Even without actual sexual touching people have been convinced, by simple repeated physical and verbal abuse, that something was wrong with them for having genitalia. I thought that this stuff was common knowledge.
No, it is not "common knowledge". Can you please give one instance where a child was further abused for having been a victim of a child abuser? Children who have been abused, be it sexually or physically, need special care and attention. I honestly doubt anyone with half a brain would assume otherwise.
Children who have been sexually abused can often be made to feel that there is something wrong with them and the individual who makes them feel that way is most often the abuser. The abuser will often tell the child that it is they (the child) who is at fault for what is happening to them and the child can be led to believe that they are somehow abnormal. Even if a child feels sexual responses to the touching, which is not abnormal at all, the abuser can lead the child to believe that it is the child and not the abuser who is at fault. This will lead the child to hate themselves and their genitalia because they think there is something wrong with them or their own bodies.
I defend pedophiles because I consider them to be one of the most common and worst products of the corrupt way that "Western" society treats people.
Pedophiles are not the result of Western society's treatment. They were in existence before Western society even existed.
