Fact is, only 25% of child molestation and rape is committed by outsiders. So who are the other 75%? Family, neighbors, friends, etc. right? Only a small percentage of these cases ever end up in court, so it's a primarily hypothetical question if we'd kill child molesters.

Tough laws haven't solved the problem so far, and the death penalty won't either. Also, too many have gotten life in this country, and had to be released after 20 years in prison, because they were found innocent. Can't do that with the death penalty.


What about my suggestion?

Let's start in here, right now and oust and ostracize those who support child molestation on the Internet. This is where it starts. People who run rape blogs, even if it's only fictional, should be ostracized, and those who sponsor them through their programs should be too. May be it helps if we educate about it, and show everybody that we will not accept it?


Anybody with me?
