wow. really? that apology is as fake as the world we live in. you fee
l no remose at all.. this kind of thing effects a family and close fri
ends MUCH more than you can imagine so keep your opinions to yoursel
f because words can hurt a person just as much as actions. what thes
e people need are other people who are going to help them because obvi
ously they are sick. don't say anything until you put yourself in some
one else's shoes. Yeah what they did was wrong and cannot be justifie
d in ANY way..believe me, i am a teenaged girl myseld and i know tha
t living in a society where no women can walk down the streets at nigh
t and feel safe is sad..but its even worse that people like you who ar
e only critisizing can't even give a decent apology to the loved one
s effected by this. this world sucks and it's time someone does someth
ing about it..not only with crime but with the speech toward other. th
ink about what you say before you say it..EVERYTHING even "harmless" w
ords can destroy a person and no one understands that.

First of all, I expressed my sympathy for these families! Do you nee
d to read it again?
Second of all, all I said was how these judges are so worried about pu
tting drug dealers in jail for life and these poor families that are v
icitms of these horrible crimes have to deal with the fact that thes
e animals in society get a slap on the wrist! Did you see how that gu
y got 5 years PROBATION? NO jail time what so ever!!! That is what i
s wrong in this country! I just wish these law makers can put themselv
es in their shoes and understand that they are letting these animals o
ut so they can prey on another innocent victim again! I am deeply sorr
y for these victims of these crimes. And before YOU open YOUR mouth an
d say something about someone elses comment just remember that maybe t
hat person had gone through that same thing once in there life!!! Thin
k about it!

I think one thing we all lose sight of is how the victims in this ar
e not just the children they were involved with talking to but also th
eir families. We have to realize that for some of these men it's an ad
diction that has taken over and has left them full of shame and havin
g to find a way to explain to their families. These are sons with pare
ts, husbands with wives, and fathers with children. Yes some would sa
y throw them away into a cell and forget about them. But these men des
erve to find redemption and find a way out of there problems. They des
erve to be given a chance to fix their lives and mend the wounds in th
e relationships with their own families. Some of these men are the vic
tims themselves.
