Sex offender castration, necessary? I think so...

[Shawnee123]

[justsayin']Rape is not about 'sex' it's a crime of violence. If castration is the 'cure' for male rapists, what do we propose we do to women who rape?[/justsayin']

[Nirvana]

If they are not going to incarcerate them for any length of time, I think all they need is a hole to pee out of. What are the stats for women that rape? How is that accomplished?

[Shawnee123]

Seriously?

Women molest their own children, with sticks and hands and...yeah, it happens.

Violence isn't curbed by cutting off the wee-wee.

I disagree castration takes away the hormones and they have nothing that gives them pleasure in that way.

I've seen interviews with individuals who have undergone voluntary chemical castration and still fight the impulse to abuse. Castration does not address the behavioural disorder.

Does it help them win the fight?

I don't think chemical castration works. Testosterone can reverse this and its available.

and what punishment for the parents whose child was out in their nightdress in the middle of the night and they had no idea?

Agreed! There is a serious omission in this story's time line where the parents are completely unaware of, well, anything. Child is abducted or leaves home in the middle of the night, returns and goes back to bed before anyone takes notice?

I suppose anything could happen, but it is quite suspect.

I thought the story said the child was abducted from the home. I know people whose bedrooms are far enough away from their children's that they wouldn't hear quiet sounds. Perhaps the parents are heavy sleepers? Might be bad parenting, might not be.

It is hard to imagine a traumatized four year old opting to go back to bed rather than seek out its parents. That's a hard one to parse.

Almost as a footnote at the end of the story:

Because the victim is so young, there are questions, such as, "How did the suspect get access to her?" The police say there are no signs of forced entry at the home, but windows were left open at the house that night.

If you have a 4yo, you don't leave windows open that they could get out of, do you? really? And especially not if there are people around who might want to get in....

You should leave windows open period.

I don't think castration is the answer to pedophilia. It seems like a false sense of security; a cut and release policy isn't going to make anyone safer not really it really means that this pedophilia just has one less tool at his disposal.

Furthermore, incarceration outside the legal sentience of a judge(excluding prehearing detention) is not just wrong it is anti-American. If we are enforcing laws outside of the legal system then we are nothing more than a mob not only a mob but a lazy one that wont go out and draw and quarter its pedophiles but just locks them away illegally.

Finally I don't think true pedophiles or serial rapist can reformed; they are sick, mentally, and there is nothing that can be done to change them said for locking them in a deep dark hole or execution (fuck lethal injection bring back public execution by guillotine) which out laws should reflect.

Once they have absolute proof they have the right guy, castrate him right then and there and then make him choke to death on his own balls. No prison time, no appeals, just pain and death.

While I'm all for public execution, it never works as a deterrent. I think it serves more as a means of revenge that satisfies everyone else's sense of justice.

True, we keep ours inaccessible, certainly no windows open and we are right in the next room. I wonder what else was left out of the story. Remember the one where the parents were asleep while the pit bull or rotty gnawed off the baby's feet?
