Stricter Penalties for Pedophiles


Stricter Penalties for Pedophiles
The Issue
Recently I composed a letter to President Obama, all 100 senators, and Idaho's 2 Congressmen in an effort to have stricter punishments and more thorough tracking of people convicted of sexual crimes against children; unfortunately, the only responses that I have gotten are generic "I understand your concern" letters, or "sorry we can't help you because you don't live in our state". So in an effort to show the senate that the growing numbers of heinous crimes committed against children is not just the concern of one person I am asking for the American public's help.
My proposal is in two parts:
1st - Make the release of people convicted of sexual crimes against children conditional on rehabilitation (no more level 3 sex offenders being released).
2nd - Place ankle monitors/ tracking devices on child predators that are released from prison for the duration of their probation.
It is estimated that there are about 550,000 sex offenders in the nation and roughly 100,000 whose location is unknown. It is also estimated that about 4% of the population has a sexual inclination towards children; in response to this I think that it is time to use the justice system as a deterrent, as the justice system was designed. It is time to stop being so concerned with the civil rights of these people and start placing stricter punishments on these crimes, in order to protect the innocence of our children.
Please take a moment to reply to this blog with your name and state of residence, also please put a star by your name if: you or someone you know as a child was sexually abused, kidnapped, or murdered, and place two stars by your name if the person who committed these crimes had previously been convicted of similar crimes (Joseph Duncan was twice convicted of rape of a child and was fleeing molestation charges when he committed the murder, kidnapping, rape, and torture in Idaho, he was also later linked to the kidnap, rape, and murder of three other children).
I have this same petition going in many other venues and I know that there are simular petitions going; we are all working for a common goal and this gives me hope that there will soon be a change!
The only thing worse than evil people is the indifference of good people!
