I'm sorry about what happened to your daughter, Lucid. And congrats on being cancer free.
Now I've got to play devil's advocate for a bit.
Most of the time, young people who do these heinous acts, have been victims of the same. And they go absolutely nuts, and instead of telling someone, they end up acting out. We actually have a treatment program here in Illinois for juvenile sex offenders. It has a 97 percent success rate because it helps the person 24/7 deal with what happened to him or her and stops the cycle.
And I know for a fact that it's not always the parent's fault. My son and daughter where raped by our friend, (ex-friend) who we had known for 20 years, my husband had been around the world with him and back in the marines. He was the kind of person you would never have expected this from. Never in a million years. He seemed so caring about people, and really a decent fellow. He not only raped them, he drugged them. My son has 7 dead spots in his brain from being drugged at such a young age.
Well, they where ashamed, and fearful of him, so they didn't tell us. Our son couldn't handle it, and went off the deep end. He was caught fooling around with other kids (with their permission, but they where just kids, and shouldn't have given permission) Well, because of the ages they where, and because some things where stretched to the inth degree by one of the parents of one of the other kids, He was convicted of a class x felony. They asked him if he offended, and since he considers even touching, offending, he said yes. So he plead guilty to penetration, because they didn't word it as such and he was only 11 and didn't understand. In Illinois, they take away a parents rights when a child gets arrested for something like this, so we had no clue what was going on, and they questioned him without us there, and kind of railroaded him.
We ended up sending him to the treatment program, where he spent 5 years being treated for this. Now he has gotten out, and he is totally a changed human being. And even helps others who are in pain from similar things know how to deal with it instead of acting out and continuing the cycle of abuse.
It isn't always the parent's fault. As soon as we found out, we got him help. And not all of them should die. If they are young enough, they should be helped, rehabilitated, because they might just be a child that's in soooo much pain they don't know what to do.
I know this isn't gonna be too popular of a post, but that's ok, it's the way I feel, from experience. Because I was raped when I was 9, I felt the same way as most of you, but now that I've seen it from the other side, I have to change my opinion of that. But for the grace of god, that could have been me who got all tied in knots inside, and went haywire. Thank god, I kept my sanity, alot of kids don't and then just go nuts.
