I'm a mother. If someone touched my child, I'd kill him. It's that simple.THAT'S my thought on child molesters.

I do believe that child molesters have their pathology hardwired into them, much like socio-paths and serial killers. Not saying that child molesters should get warm fuzzies, but not too sure I find
enjoyment in brutal retribution. Would definitely not want a child of mine in close proximity to such an individual. A secure mental institution far away from defenseless individuals would seem about right.

No pity, no mercy. Zip. Nil. Squat. And in a just world ... punishment to be decided by the victim's parents.

People who delibarately harm children are the most evil of those who live on earth.

Although I would never, ever condone child abuse, I'm not really sure. I'm certainly not a part of the "hang 'em and flog 'em" brigade, but I don't know if I believe some of the more liberal theories concerning the nature of paedophilia. I don't really know a lot about it, and the British media is clouded with such ignorance about it I find it difficult to get a balanced view of the

Most of them have emotional problems themselves, or have been molested at some point during their lives. They need psychiatric help, not jailtime.

It scares me to death. I have a blonde, blue eyed daughter that is 13 and everything that you read says taht they are the most abducted people. Not only that 1 out of every 4 girls and 1 out of 6 boys will be sexually abused(just read that in Time Magazine). It is a wonder that I let her out of the
house. I think that there is no place safe for a child molester if it happened to any of children.

They are bad, bad people.

Child molesters are worse than murderers.

No matter what happened to a child molester in childhood, the abused adult is responsible for protecting the rights of children.

There are sick people in the world - these people are among the sickest. And when they are people in authority - people like priests - they are evil because they know what they are doing is
wrong. It is one thing to feed a sick desire that is bad for you, it is another to feed a desire that ruins another's life. Especially a child.

They all need suffer the wrath of being gang raped in prison as they die a slow death.

Well, I'm not really that upset when they get murdered in prison and as a tax payer I really don't think we need a full investigation.

I think they have a dangerous mental illness and should be locked away.

Child molesters are like people that torture animals; both are picking on someone that can't fight back and I think that's despicable. I served on a grand jury for 3 months and whenever a person was found to have molested a child, the jury voted to give him the stiffest penalty they could. I think they would have ordered him to be hanged if they could.

I think child molesters are really sick and no matter what they say their actions can't be justified.
