Um, can we stop promoting murder and rape as punishments, please? It's one thing to support legal killing in the name of revenge, but it's really disturbing how quickly a right to bodily integrity and the ability to give or withhold consent gets thrown out the window when people are pissed off. You people need to remember that it is not who the victim of this act was that makes it horrible, it is the act itself. I would also like to mention how amusing/infuriating it is, what people are saying about him. If I hear one more "I'd never have taken my child to someone who looks like THAT!", I'mma smack somebody. Yes, it wasn't that someone who was either a pedophile or just an opportunistic sexual sadist was given absolute trust with children on a daily basis, it's his beard and long hair that made him hurt all those kids.

Now that that's out of the way, I definitely think he needs to be given a life sentence. As many in this forum know, I am against pointless punishment, but considering how many children he hurt, and how long this went on, and all that he was willing to risk to do it, I don't think he would ever stop and the only way to positively ensure that he will not ever be around another child and have the opportunity to hurt her is to keep him locked up. I do think they'll probably need to keep him separated from the general populace for his own safety. I don't buy into this idea of inmates killing every child molestor that walks through the door, but considering how publicized his crimes have been, he'll definitely have a target on his back.
