You're asking me if justice should differ from crime to crime? (Correct me if I'm wrong.)
If that is what you meant, then no, not im my opinion. My goal would be to take these criminals off the streets and lock them up in prison to prevent it happening again. Personal feelings don't enter into it for me.
No, AC, as a parent, (which I am unsure of whether you are or not) my thoughts IMMEDIATELY turn to my own kids, and what I would feel if it were to happen to the criminals. I am fiercely protective and my initial response would be to do WHATEVER I could to harm them...physically, emotionally, psychologically. I would want them to feel on some level, the terror and pain that they inflicted upon a child. Having stepped back and taking a moment, torturing them is not the answer. I know, or have a fairly good idea of what they will be in for in prison, and that is satisfaction enough for me.
i would take no part in it at all. but rather have the empathy to know that if god forbid i was in their shoes, i would demand the same justice. so, i wouldnt watch and salivate, but rather cover my ears and yell "LALALALALALA CANT HEAR ANYTHING LALALALA" and walk away

I was always under the understanding that there was a punishment to be administered to fit the crime. Granted the intention to stop the crime is also considered, but isn't punishment a necessity?

I don't think that it is the actual reason why we sent people to prisonö Sure they get pun ished for the crime they did...but I think the actual purpose is to make sure they won't do that..or any other crime again.
I'm not saying it IS there for my satisfaction. I understand how laws work. I'm merely saying that as a parent, my FIRST reaction would be that I want them to suffer. End of story.
Additionally, if they are in prison, and I know what happens to child molestors in jail, then I CAN feel satisfaction, whether it was intended for me to feel it or not.
I got it wrong? She's 12 weeks? I must have mistyped it somewhere.
Her parents won't forget, no. Then it's up to them to be responsible and never, ever bring it up again isn't it? The worst thing they could do now is tell her later in life.
If it were me I'd want them locked up for life. That's enough for me. I say that with a clear mind because that's the best way to judge and that is how I feel. People make the mistake of saying, as I previously said to Moose, "Imagine if it were you!".
When you are traumatised you are in no fit state to be deciding what's best.
I also find it endlessly hilarious that you just made a suggestion that the man be castrated.

Yes and I can understanf that you so....and you can..but I am jsut making sure that it's not mixed up...there are kids reading these threads....they might get a wrong idea.
5 years is too short, in my opinion. In this case anyway.
PVS: If I might ask, what's the point you're making about his prison location? He won't be able to molest kids anymore. Surely that's all that matters.
When I first read this, my children's faces were in my mind...and I felt myself begin to become tense and I wanted these sick freaks to be drawn and quartered...but I realize that what they have to deal with for the rest of their lives, and in some minds, afterwards, is far worse than anything I could EVER do to them.

Well that is because sex-offenders have a rather shitty live in prison..and that'S not fair..they should have a just as shitty live as the other prisoners, not worse.
