I am joining a bit late to this but was so triggered over it that i *forgot* it had come up on the news and that i had vented about it to my mom.

I am really angry about it because it once again shows how much society devalues children.
Tho i think you brought up a real good point mimi about kids and their being brought into it and how if it had been me, i too would have felt guilty over the perps death. I agree, i don't think the kids should know anything about it.

I think that the perps should be _________ (can any human will the death of another? - I just get more confused) but i know they need to be stopped. and i know just how much it destroys the life of the person to be hurt so. None of the ppl who hurt me ever did time on my behalf - i never told. One guy who hurt me, my friend, and his daughter went to jail for hurting a 16 yr old.
THere are just so many untold horrors of sex abuse. Something more should be done that stops them. Lable their foreheads with an F or something. I was upset by the comment "The death penalty punishment outweighs the crime". well BS to that.
As far as i'm concerned, death is too easy. It's a one time deal while I have to live EACH DAY with ptsd and DID/MPD and all the constant switching and triggers and self sabotage... i could go on, but I don't need to - you all already know.
thanks for letting me vent.
kiya
also thanks, because now i understand why i was so extremely triggered even more than usual and couldn't remember why.
