I just read a SERIAL child molestor has gotten the ok from a judge to go free in monteray county....i am sooo angry......im livid.....he was in a State Hospital....but before he can leave they will find him housing and a job and some other stuff...which might take a few months...why cant they do that with the homeless instead of molestors!!!!!! omg....they did say he already has had voluntary castration and will have no phone or internet or tv access...but it still pisses me off me....it still angers the hell out of me...and what made me even angerer is the judge said " You will always have this but you dont need a life sentence." YEA OK...you ask those little boys, and those 6 year olds...and those 9 year olds have a life sentence ....they will always live with that .....Gosh dam* b*stard..... God this pisses me off...

I see your anger, but I hope you are wrong about this part. Some of us thought we had a life sentence too. Or a death sentence. Turns out we were wrong. We yet live.

I remember a TV program in the 1960s (yes, they had TV then) called The Breaking Point, starring Paul Richards as a psychiatrist. He was caring for a young girl who had been raped, and he made it clear he was on her side -- but he did not treat her as though some unimaginably bad thing had happened to her. He was careful to not treat her as having done something wrong, either. I think not treating what had happened to her as something so horrible that it could not be dealt with helped her to heal.

A friend of mine who specialized in TV history once told me that most psychiatrists did not appreciate the portrayal given to psychiatry on the program. I think they were wrong.
