(8,830 posts)prevent people like this from having any more children to kill, maim, abuse?
Several decades ago, there was a case in Denver - at Lowry AFB. A military couple had an adopted toddler - three or four years old. One day they appeared at Fitzsimons Army Medical Center with the child. She had been beaten, was comatose, and died as a result. The couple claimed innocence, but eventually the mother was convicted and sent to prison. She was either pregnant at that point, or got pregnant soon after. She carried to term and delivered. She was then released and allowed to return home WITH THE INFANT because the authorities thought it would be better for the kid. Guess what happened . . .
I believe that people who commit - or allow someone else to commit - this kind of abuse are not going to change. If we can't lock them up for good then they need to be sterilized, first off, because they forfeited any "right" they had to have children - and they should be monitored to prevent contact with children or anyone who has children.
If that makes me a mean person, so be it. I'd rather be called a cruel conservative and protect a child from harm than a compassionate liberal and have to read about another horrific and painful death of a child at the hands of a permanently warped adult.
