I have a hard time understanding these female "teachers" molesting pre-teen and teenaged boys. There seems to be an epidemic of them. Where did this come from? I never worried about the female teachers when my son was going through high school, and he has one more year left. I guess there will always be something to worry about. I have to wonder if Hollywood doesnt promote child sex by sexualizing the young stars. They seem to be getting younger and younger and the story line is becoming more and more sexual in nature. Maybe it is just me?

Texas has opened up the death penalty for these scum and hopefully more states will follow..

I've also read that very few can be rehab'd and that probably explains how most of the stories you see on the news are caused by repeat offenders.. I know Texas does a good job of exercising their needle, but most other states don't. These are definitely the people that need to be eliminated, otherwise their disease keeps spreading.

also, it would be really freaking nice if the catholic church did something besides pay to make things go away and cover up everything else. Maybe I'm the only one that can see they have a HUGE problem, but they do and they need to kill it off...

Oh boy, it is so refreshing to see others who feel like I do
thank you...

No it isn't just you, I find that our nations morals are declining and people no longer fear consequences for their actions. If my son was molested by a female teacher I'd be livid.

Thanks so much for your thoughts

I've noticed women are doing quite a few things they didn't used to do. Just yesterday I had one chasing me down the highway just because I honked at her for almost hitting me because she wasn't paying attention when she changed lanes. Women with road rage is quite a bit more common around here.
Quite a bit of the crime around here is perpetrated by women also and I'm talking the robbery/violent crimes. I guess some saw that equal opportunity sign and went a little overboard or something

I'm right there with you lady! I think victims need treatment so they don't become abusers, but once they do it's the needle all around! I have no sympathy for them at all and I don't even care "what made them that way." If we kill them all we won't have to worry about them making more victims who may become abusers. The cycle ends. The female teachers molesting young boys shouldn't get any slack either. I am a 32 year old woman and all I see when I look at a 15 year old boy is a taller little boy. It's disgusting that they get away with it. Spirit has a good plan. Case by case analysis to make sure they are guilty B.A.R.D. and then order the needles. Rapists get it too! And anyone who picks on the elderly, children, or animals!!

Can ya'll tell I'm from Texas?

I believe this happens b/c there are people living among us who are criminals...and society doesn't want to admit to themselves that there are flaws and diseased people mentally living among us. We tend to feel more sorry for the abusers then the victims and I want to change that. I'm not advocating hate, but awareness, that what these people are doing is wrong and they are criminals.

I understand your compassion, and it is good to be and feel as yourself...but not when criminals are running around free...while the children who have been sexually molested grow up with guilt, embarrassment, fear, and have very little confidence and some, it ruins their lives, their ability to trust men, their right to living a normal life, like people who refuse to become aware of the fact that this is going on. I never did anything to deserve that, did you? I do know that when our laws were more strict, criminals were put away, either in mental hospitals or prisons...our country doesn't want to fund buiding bigger prisions...yet, it is a necessity. Chaos prevails when people utterly ignore these atrocities.

I'm not being insulting, but I have one question...how can you say, placing people in prisons has never worked before? On what information do you base that comment on? Thinking big is a good thing, but we have to start small, little by little to accomplish good, and you don't allow someone who is a menace to society to walk the streets free.

When dealing with criminals, you are dealing with a sick mind, one that doesn't understand or even care about compassion...they cannot be rehabilitated. We've got police officers out there trying to protect you and me from people like this and we're paying them to do they're jobs. But, we keep letting these people out of jail, excusing them for even murder, and this is insane. It puts my son's life on the line, as well as every other police officer out there. Frankly in my book, you break the laws, you pay???????? That's what keeps people law abiding citizens.
Thank you for your compassion. Being molested ruins your life, especially if it's done at a very early age. It took almost 30 years for it to come to the surface in my life and, if I'm lucky, I'll continue to dissociate for the rest of it. I've found no solution.

Meanwhile....for some reason, I instantly condemn anyone who throws a cigarette down on the sidewalk or fails to use a turn signal in busy traffic. They can die in my opinion--where's my gun? (Pretty mean, huh?!) But when I think of child molesters and other criminals, I don't judge so quickly. Why? I think that in the former instances such behavior is a conscious choice. Sexuality, on the other hand, is not a conscious choice and (as I've learned) is a very complex issue. Compulsion requires care. There's something in the chemically poisoned air, in the chlorinated water, in our frankenfood, or in the electromagnetic spectrum that drives these people (feel free to add all the other loonies you can think of) to do what they do. I just can't accept that some people are just flawed and should be disposed of. What does that say of our values if we dispose of undesirables? How many religions support that belief system? Hint: none.

I very much understand the anger and rage people feel when such crimes are committed. I am horrified as well. And, I too might initially want them to go to H or to jail. But, these reactions don't solve the problem. Obviously, imprisoning them is no deterrent, they still commit the crimes. Perhaps I'm too analytical, I must know the source in order to apply a solution. The easy way (jail, death) won't stop more weeds from cropping up in the future and is not a viable solution, just a bandaid. It would be easy for me to join the bandwagon, but for some dastardly reason, I resist. People are still people. I can't apply a final solution until I know the real cause.

Actually from what I understand, much like kidnapping and sexual abuse, it isn't happening more frequently. It's just being reported like never before. I actually saw somewhere where statistically instances of kidnapping and child molestation have decreased in our country, but we just hear about it every day on the news which makes it seem more prevelant.

Why should a woman be any different from a man, they are both human beings...? Women can be just as vile and blood thirsty as a man...women, are very smart, and are very capable of road rage, roberies, vilent crimes and molestations...I'm confused as to why some people find that odd?

Without women, man couldn't exist?

I don't beleive it has decreased, what with more people, porn on the internet, and sex along with child porn actually being marketed? But even if your right, and it is...as you say, less and less, my argument would be...one child molested is one child to many...and I say that b/c I was molested. If you get these guys off the streets...perhaps it won't solve the problem completely, but the chances of a child being molested become less likely...not to mention, unless you've been molested, you have no idea how that child lives with it the rest of their lives. I was lucky...very very lucky...but I know girls who weren't and it ruined their marriages, made them over protective of their own children..(obsessively over protective) and as for me, a fear of men. I am not gay, nor did my marriages fail b/c of the molestation....but I did own a great lack of self confidence, so I chose dysfunctional men for mates...and the guilt, the guilt was horrific, until I sought out counseling.

I don't hate, but in the same, reality is, that criminals cannot live within society...regardless...they must be seperated until we can resolve they're dysfunction medically, they must be contained, otherwise, you make life very difficult for their next victims who are innocent, unaware and trusting...

Also, I can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt, that I am so thankful to God and all those who helped and listened to me, that I myself, didn't become the abuser.

All I'm asking you to do, is to stop, stop and think about the victim...more so then the criminal...where in the heck did that concept come from? Sheesh, I am so sorry and apologize but I am so sick and tired of hearing "oh he had a bad life, so excuse his actions????" Well I had a bad life, and I haven't broken the law or get off on hurting little kids?

We've tried to rehabilitate prisoners...we've tried to rehabilitate sexual preditors...you can maybe rehabilitate 1 or 2 % of them...but consider, these people where conditioned to believe that crime does pay and self gratification is much more imporatant then anyone's safety or laws....you cannot expect a person like that, to not be a threat to society?

If I'd say these people should be killed, I'd fear being hateful and vindictive, seeking blood revenge which in my mind, wouldn't make me any better then them (and that's just how I feel, doesn't mean if you feel that way your wrong)...but I do say, they need to be locked up for the rest of their lives, as they are indeed sick and a menace to soceity and if it happened to your baby son or daughter, you'd feel the same way....

I feel our children are just that...all of our children, and we owe them a responsibility to keep them safe, first and foremost.

Again, I am overwhelmed by the many responds to this thread...thank you so much for your concern and compassion and not fearing what others may think of your opinion.

Again, I am overwhelmed by all your responses, and I want to thank you for not fearing putting down your opinion. I posted this in the Religion forum and no one seemed to want to touch it with a ten foot pole...which is why I keep on keepin on with this subject...people have to wake up...and I'm going to keep on talking about this until the day I die...cuz if it keeps one child safe, then my journey & the embarrasement and standing alone on this subject sometimes, will have been worth it.

Many, many thanks!!!!
