O.K. trying to post this damn thing again. (Sorry ahead of time for my spelling, it was when I tried to spell-check this post last time when it was deleted.)

I have been meaning to make this post for a while now. With recent events in my own state as well as a story I heard last night, I decided I could not wait any longer. As a father, I feel very strongly about this subject.

The story I heard last night was about this complete animal; Andrew James of Manchester Center, Vermont. He was accused of molesting a 4 yr. old girl. (Numerous times according to the report.) The totally incompetent D.A. and judge in this case decided that the best course of action was just to give this monster probation!! Their reason: It would have been too difficult and too traumatizing to the little girl to re-live the event(s) to take it to trial. WTF?!?!??! Do they not think it will be traumatizing to the girl to re-live those events for the rest of her life?!?!? Do they not think that when this poor little girl gets older, she will wonder why this man was not punished for hurting her, and screwing up the rest of her life?!?!?! This is such an outrage! So as I type this post, this worthless piece of garbage is walking the streets. How long will it be before he ruins another poor little girl's life. Chances are, it won't be long.

The story in my home state has made national news. Michael Devlin of Kirkwood, MO was arrested for abducting a 13 yr. old boy. They also found a 15 yr. old boy who was abducted almost 5 years ago too!! Child pornagraphy was found on Devlin's PC, so you can only imaging what these boys went through. How do these sick people live with themselves?? At least Devlin was given a $1,000,000 cash bond. Which is more than I can say for the next story.

A 25 yr. old man in Wisconsin was charged with sexual assault of a 12 yr. old girl. The girl was the daughter of the woman he was currently dating. This man is an illegal alien. He had prior convictions in the U.S. and was previously deported. (He was back in Wisconsin a week after his deportation.) In the infinite wisdom of our great legal system, this animal was given a $5,000 bond. (He only had to come up with $500 to get out.) Guess what folks? He left town and did not appear at his next court date. I know, a real shocker isn't it?!?! Lord only knows where this sicko is right now and who he is brutally torturing. This girl will probably never see justice, and will probably be looking over her shoulder in fear for the rest of her life.

Then we have Mark Hulett of Burlington, VT. This scumbag brutally molested a 4 yr. old girl, and continued until she was 8!! Four years of a living hell. The 'honorable' judge Edward Cashman decided to sentence this guy to 60 DAYS in jail. He was concerned that this guy would not get the treatment that he needed in jail!! HUH? What about the girl here judge? Would that have been your sentence if it was your daughter??? I highly doubt it. After public and media outcry he increased the sentence to 3-6 years. Still a far cry from what this bastard deserves. What is going on in American society today?!?

I am getting too angry to type any more. Where have we gone wrong? Do we not realize that our children are our most precious resouce? Why aren't our public officials setting MINIMUM sentences for these animals. We must take it out of the judge's hands. It really makes me sick.

A site that is trying to protect our kids, since no one else seems to be interested:

A great site to find out about where registered sex offenders are anywhere in the U.S. They will even notify you if one of these perverts moves into your area. By the way, according to this site, 1 in 5 girls will be assaulted before she turns 18. For boys, it is 1 in 6. We must take action now to stop this insne madness!!
