Few parents report, unless the molest results in obvious physical injury or death
Few children make good witnesses in a criminal trial, as they are traumatized and scared
Few prosecutors retain human warmth toward the victims of such crimes, because they've seen so many and can't emotionally invest in each case
Few families report family members who molest
Few lawmakers are passionate about higher sentencing guidelines for repeat offenders
Few perpetrators are 'healed' or 'cured' of sexual deviancy; recidivism is extremely high
Few survivors reach adulthood and are then able to pursue justice, as applicable Statutes of Limitation have run...
But in this man's case he had molested before, was a registered sex offender in the state of Minnesota which supposedly strengthened their legal system in this area recently because of a young college girl who was kidnapped and killed by a registered sex offender. Knowing recividism is high, why then release this man for a measly $15,000 (which he probably had to put up only a percentage of) and then monitor him only every 3 months. Few lawmakers are passionate about higher sentencing because children do not vote and do not donate to their reelection. So if few families/parents report, who will protect the children, if not those in the legal system. How can anyone get into the legal business not knowing they will see the underside of society?
Stillconcerned, if you are who I think you are, you are doing a lot to help. I hope you are not getting burned out.
