Reply #57: The monsters you know verses those you dont

[fishnfla]

Should a convicted drunk driver be allowed to drive school buses? Isnt predatory sexual behavior a compulsion that is hard to control?

We are comparing apples and oranges, I think. Your experience and those of the majority, as well as the survivors you've met in the 90% group occurred, I assume, by unconvicted molesters. Your point is to try and stop this type of abuse, which these laws cant. These are the hidden monsters that are unknown to children other than their victims.

But what happens after these predators are caught, tried, convicted and released into society? These are the monsters that are now known to society and to their victims. But they are not known to all children, are they? I think these laws are designed to protect the other 10%, stranger abductions. I also think that you will not talk to many children who survive these type of abductions. They are fewer in numbers of occurance, as you point out, but the victims most likely do not survive at all.

The monsters have a compulsion to commit their crimes. The predators are opportunists who will use situations to get their ways. Of course these laws will do nothing to protect the abuse that occurs under ones roof. But if it protects one child out on the streets, I'm all for it
