Reply #45: So you agree with providing the Molester 3 hot meal and a Cot A day

[happyslug]

But DENY that to his victims? Remember the STATE has no obligation to step into any case (The State CAN, but is NOT required to. When the State does step in, it is suppose to HELP the Victim, but by removing the victims main source of Income how are you supporting the Victims? When you Jail someone that person's ability to support his family ends. It is PART of the punishment of the Molester. The problem is the Victims are the ones who are NOT promised a Home and three meals a day out of the mess. How do you punish the Molester WITHOUT punishing the Victims? In cases where the parties are NOT in the same household it is easy, you Jail the Molester. The problem is, as in this case, if you jail the molester who is left ot support the Victims? The answer is no one (and the state will only provide Welfare, which can be no more than $215 per month for a family of three.

How do you make sure the Father is punished LESS than the Children? I have to assume the father can provide MORE THAN $215 a month FOR BOTH CHILDREN AND HIS WIFE. Thus if he is JAILEd, the Children will be worse off than if he is free to work. Sorry, this is NOT unusual, but remember if he is child all the children will get is $215 A MONTH. At minimum wage the father will earn OVER $800 a month (4 weeks 40 hours per week $5 per hour, total $800 a Month, the Father should earn more than this but this is Minimum Wage). Given that wage attachment can be as high as 60% of one's wages for Child Support, it can be expected that the children would receive at least $400 a month in Child support IF THE FATHER IS OUT OF JAIL (If his income is higher, the amount of support will be higher).

Thus the dilemma, if you jail the father the children ONLY get $215 a month, while if the father is free they get at least $400 a month. Sorry, Jailing the Father HURTS the Victims in this case more then it hurts the molester. That is a sad fact of most such cases and why most molesters do NOT serve any jail time.
