Watching Nancy Grace report the latest publicized incident of a child molestation there is much about this group of sexual offenders that terrorizes me. The ease at which they pass briefly through the legal system makes it seem like traffic court. Two different defense lawyers were already proposing reasons why this individual child predator might fit through a legal loophole. It's hard to resist endorsing one frustrated mother's "baseball bat solution." Letting an offender out of jail after a few months is like giving a second chance to a rabid pit bull. The "golly gee might he bite again" attitude is obviously naive. But not any more naive than thinking a pervert might be rehabilitated.

Our Federal government funds studies of all types. We need to know why an obscure fish is on the verge of becoming extinct.

Does no one else see the irony in the situation.

When a small child asks, "What will the bad stranger do?"

What do you tell them besides "Take you away and we'll never see you again."

Just as they don't fully understand at a young age that dead is forever, the word never and the concept of kidnapping doesn't cause them much alarm.
