Who can remove heinous from the description of child molestation? When it happens on a repeated basis, which is often, it kills a child on the inside - strips away dignity, self esteem, hope. It involves control over a child so that they won't tell - threats to parents or other siblings and lies to produce that control. Precious innocence is lost for the child on so many levels - a death to childhood.

That is heinous in my opinion - stripping away life in a most inhumane way. I'm with Isaac - tall tree & a short rope. Perhaps a few years at the bottom of that food chain first. Why not take a strong stand against child molestation and be proactive for the sake of children verses waiting for repeated incidents and be reactive while children still suffer?

Always for the children!!
