Here in the US, should there be a law that people be banished from this country because they sexually abuse or assault a child.

I think this may stop or reduce these types of incidents. What do you think?

  Perhaps they should build specific prison environments for child molesters and abusers. If they could be permanently detained, this would solve part of the problem. To banish them from the country really wouldn't solve anything. Who would take them? No country wants to accept people with this behavior issue.

  There are still cases where people are "framed"... "set up"... or have been wrongly accused of these crimes.
  
  I feel that there should be justice, but contained with in the country.
  
  If you are to banish someone, without specifying where they would go and where they would live, this just seems futile... a bit ridiculous.
  
  We are not living in a small village where we can just banish someone from the tribe. This is too far fetched to even be imaginable.
  
  Perhaps this is why Russia moves people to Siberia... to an area that no one would choose to live.

  Banish them so they can abuse children somewhere else? I don't think so. Lock them up and/or keep them monitored. It would be criminal to send them off to some other country where they can start over on other people's children, where law enforcement won't know about them, and where -- in some countries -- child molestation is not taken seriously by law enforcement and it may not even be recognized as a crime (historically, it wasn't in many cultures simply because it didn't occur to peole or seem possible).
  
  Although most countries check the criminal records of people trying to enter the country and would bar felons from entering anyway.
  
  I have personally known three RSOs and/or their victims. In all cases, there were many repeat offenses when the truth finally came out, and each of the victims had been threatened in dire ways if they told anyone, allowing the abuser to continue preying on his victims. (including his own stepdaughter, in one case).
  
  If it's proven, lock 'em up. They are a danger to children and continue to be a danger. There have been too many recent cases in the news of repeat offenders on parole, going after new victims. And having known a few of the victims, i don't want our justice system to cut the offender extra slack. Kids's safety first.
  
  (A for how one can tell? The RSO I knew personally was the jerk boyfriend of a friend of mine, and he creeped me out, but I just assumed my visceral dislike of him was due to the fact I thought he didn't deserve her, so I resented him. I'm still kicking myself for not guessing why he triggered my "what a slimeball!" reflex. He's in for life, but the kids he hurt... no I will never again give the benefit of doubt, sorry.)

Sorry, but I have a real problem with those who harm children and animals. Perhaps it's because I was molested as a child, as were two of my daughters.

  Lisa HWposted 12 years agoin reply to this
  Some rights in the US are considered "inalienable". They're lost when people harm others. There's a difference between inalienable rights and losing freedom as a form of dealing with those who have harmed others and may harm yet more. As long as a prison system exists that means that some people have lost their freedom(s). The option to having a prison system would be either to let all the violent criminals run wild and destroy the whole society or else to do some of the outrageous things that are done to punish people in other cultures.
  
  Morals can, and do, often have a "provided" and an "unless" to them. Basically, those morals are, "We don't bother you and we don't take away any of your rights unless you bother someone else and take away their rights; in which case, it's our moral obligation to protect innocent children - not you, or at least not when it comes to your rights versus theirs."

(Oops. I posted this reply in the wrong place above and couldn't fix it. Anyway..)

The island (owned by the US, though - other countries can worry about their own pervert/pedophile-islands) has always been my imagined solution to what could be done with them. Let them set up a whole little society and do their thing (with regard to living life - not harming anyone innocent), contact their family members by phone, and have visitors over a certain age. They can all live happily ever after (as much as they deserve to), and more innocent children would stand that much better a chance of living happily ever after too.

I'd argue that we can support the idea that people shouldn't be told where they can live PROVIDED someone hasn't lost his right to that choice by making the decision for a child that that child would not live his childhood through without being molested by a pervert who has no regard for the child's personhood.

  I agree on the importance of not categorizing all offenses under one (or three) main categories for just the reason you said. However, the ones that both me aren't just the ones who kidnap and/or murder children. They're the fathers (or mothers in some cases) and who molest their own children, do time for x number of years, and come out and molest their grandchildren or the kids in the apartment two doors down. They're also the teachers and coaches and whoever else gains the trust of children and their families after making sure they "work with children" - only to betray that trust, whether or not they let the child go back home as usual each afternoon or evening.

  In prison, you can get killed by other inmates for committing crimes like these simply because someone is a father, or they just don't like their kind.
  
  The attitude today is, let them suffer in prison until they're dead, which eventually happens unless they're smart enough to get themselves put into solitary confinement and manage to stay.
  
  This is a form of torture also, just not the justice system doing it directly but allowing others to. So what's your argument again?

  Banishment may have been used to torture people in the old days, but that's not the general idea. These people are tortured, in prison.
  
  Today, society has evolved, banishing would no doubt be used to solve a problem, than torture. Banishing would keep something that happens to weaker and more vulnerable individuals from happening.
  
  People can empathize between a need to see these people suffer or not all they want, we who know the justice system can see they're going to suffer and possibly die in prison.
  
  I'm just saying, to banish them or not can still lead to torture in reality. That they will be tortured is no excuse not to banish them, it's gonna happen anyway when they get caught and prosecuted.

There are already unjust and draconian laws in place on this matter, and the media does not help. In point of fact, the majority of so-called "abusers and molesters" are known to the family, (witness all the parish priests in the news!); some are even relatives!

The media thrives on sensationalism, and blowing things out of proportion--they would have you believe there is a child molester hiding behind every bush, and this simply is not the case. The media's slogan is, "If it bleeds, it leads." They don't care about accuracy--only selling ads.

You should go read this blog post I came across by a person whose friend got unjustly caught up in these very laws:

http://the-whole-truth-of-the-matter.bl … stice.html

The problem is this creation of a climate of fear, in the name of "protecting" us from all manner of some real and mostly imagined evils, "The Powers That Be" get to infringe upon and remove more and more of our constitutional liberties. Just look up the so-called "Patriot Act" if you need further proof that this is already happening.

  I do not think it is a relevant question, for under our constitution, those parts of it that remain intact, there is no 'banishment' provision for any crime. Even murder, which is worse by far. (You can recover from a sexual assault, both physically and mentally--there is no recovery from murder.)
  The unjust laws that already exist surrounding your issue have neither increased nor decreased the incidence of these crimes. If you read the blog post, you will also learn that not all people caught up in these laws have even committed a crime..they are nonetheless punished by these laws.
  
  The main effect it would have would be the total devastation of the family of the persons so unjustly punished. There are far too many cases of people (see my reply to another comment) because they cannot afford to buy the "justice" they need, while others, more affluent, get off the hook even if guilty as charged.
  Our entire justice system is askew. Trying to insitute punishments from back in the dark ages won't help.

Treatment??? Success in some cases? You've gotta be kidding me. I worked a caseload of "youthful offenders" who had committed sex crimes on babies and children. If you think "treatment" is the answer, you're dead wrong. My boys, who were 17 and under, had "R's" in their jackets and were going nowhere except to prison. Wake up and smell the coffee, Dude. And while you're at it, take off your rose-colored glasses. Sex offenders will always have a strong tendency towards babies, children or women. And it's always going to be about manipulating them into what they want them to do. Get real. I also worked two other prisons, and the sex offenders were always coming out of the woodwork. Obviously, a lot of the public are not informed when it comes to people who destroy lives by taking what they please. Instead, they make these sex offenders pets for life and vote to give them "life" on San Quentin's Death Row.

However they admittedly are aware they will re-offend and chose to stay there. So that may not help the in the whole scheme of things.

OCD is a mental disorder. It is a mental disease. It is a brain problem. It is this because not everyone has it. People don't choose to have this disorder.

It occurs in some people that have had a certain type of stress in their lives. The stress has contributed to a brain problem. People with OCD have unwanted ideas and impulses. They don't have wanted desires or wanted impulses.

OCD is all about rejection not desire. It doesn't apply in this case.

You're saying that in some people there is the unwanted desire to harm a child this way, in order not to harm this way? That's just ridiculous.

  Congratulations! We actually agree on the science.
  
  OCD is just a minor example of the many mental disorders in which "Researchers think brain circuits may not work properly" - from the link provided.
  
  True, but there are many other disorders that do apply.
  
  You are misconstruing the issue now. Yes, you are being ridiculous and still in a state of denial.

Don't congratulate me. We are not on the same page.

Being Ridiculous?

You're the only one trying to make excuses for people that abuse children. You're trying to turn desire into a mental disorder, and you're using ones we're familiar with.

They decide to do what they do, and because of that, they should be punished.

And if ever a law was was created to banish any people, they should be the ones. Simply because they're obviously so traumatized by some individual in their past that they have a mental disorder, now, that's supposed to cause them to have to abuse someone else, and it must be sexually and a child.

Your examples and opinion is all justification, which is ridiculous. A decision is a decision. And they make conscious decisions based on their desires, period

  You've made one thing perfectly clear, that it isn't really possible to reason with anyone who is in such a state of denial and simply wants to banish others based on their state. Oh well.

  There is truly no cure for how you understand anything. Excuse after excuse with you.
  
  Now it's not a brain condition, it's a state of mind. A thinking cap, a mood?
  
  Goodbye.
