Sex offender castration, necessary? I think so...

I thought the story said the child was abducted from the home. I know people whose bedrooms are far enough away from their children's that they wouldn't hear quiet sounds. Perhaps the parents are heavy sleepers? Might be bad parenting, might not be.

It is hard to imagine a traumatized four year old opting to go back to bed rather than seek out its parents. That's a hard one to parse.

Almost as a footnote at the end of the story:

Because the victim is so young, there are questions, such as, "How did the suspect get access to her?" The police say there are no signs of forced entry at the home, but windows were left open at the house that night.

If you have a 4yo, you don't leave windows open that they could get out of, do you? really? And especially not if there are people around who might want to get in....

You should leave windows open period.

I don't think castration is the answer to pedophilia. It seems like a false sense of security; a cut and release policy isn't going to make anyone safer not really it really means that this pedophilia just has one less tool at his disposal.

Furthermore, incarceration outside the legal sentience of a judge(excluding prehearing detention) is not just wrong it is anti-American. If we are enforcing laws outside of the legal system then we are nothing more than a mob not only a mob but a lazy one that wont go out and draw and quarter its pedophiles but just locks them away illegally.

Finally I don't think true pedophiles or serial rapist can reformed; they are sick, mentally, and there is nothing that can be done to change them said for locking them in a deep dark hole or execution (fuck lethal injection bring back public execution by guillotine) which out laws should reflect.

Once they have absolute proof they have the right guy, castrate him right then and there and then make him choke to death on his own balls. No prison time, no appeals, just pain and death.

While I'm all for public execution, it never works as a deterrent. I think it serves more as a means of revenge that satisfies everyone else's sense of justice.

Well it certainly deters the executed one

Which is the same as castration; something that will not help the problem but make everyone feel better about the situation.

True, we keep ours inaccessible, certainly no windows open and we are right in the next room. I wonder what else was left out of the story. Remember the one where the parents were asleep while the pit bull or rotty gnawed off the baby's feet?
