January 14, 2010 - 9:36 am
Also how do you feel when you hear about horrific crimes against small helpless babies? I am majoring in Social Work and I want to work with abused kids and know I will face some really bad situations I am still in training and know that I need to toughen my heart a little because I hear stories I just want to break down and cry and then I wish evil things would happen to the child’s abusers . How do you guys feel?
I started out in social work and couldn’t handle it when I had to counsel a rapist. :/ It takes a really strong person!
Anyways…. I feel they should be given a drug to paralyze them and make them helpless but still able to feel pain and I believe they should be tortured. That’s just me though.

I think that they should have done to them what they did to their victim and then they should be put into jail and let the inmates take care of them.

I say let Bubba handle em’. I still have no idea why drug dealers get more time than child molesters and rapists. people choose to do drugs, children don’t choose to be hurt.

Locked in a small room for life eating only toast and drinking water. The occasional smack in the head would work well too. If you deliberately "take" a life you don’t deserve to live or at the very least live in bad conditions.
Take meaning abuse, molestation/rape, or murder.
ETA: Most jails have a special place for rapist, child abusers, and overall "creeps" because the general population would kill them in a heart beat. Goes to show that those things are the lowest of low even a hardened criminal won’t stand for it. I think they should put them in with general population.

i feel that whatever that monster did to that child should be done to him three fold because that innocent child was not put on this earth to be abused he or she was put on this earth to be loved and adored having a baby isnt a burden its a blessing if you didn’t want that baby then you should have gave it up for adoption there are millions of people that want a baby that cant have a baby and would love that baby unconditionally.

Violent child sexual predators should receive the death penalty on the first conviction, since these criminals are so psychologically addicted to having violent sex with children that there’s no way to protect children from them when they get paroled. So what if they were victims themselves when children. The fact is they are damaged goods who can never be repaired, like Humpty Dumpty.
A surprising fact you’ll encounter in your work is that about 70% of child abusers are women. I know, I know, men get a lot of the blame and the bad press, but most of it is done by women who are drunks, druggies, whores, or battered wives…and a few extreme cases of post-partum psychoses which resulted in bizarre mass murders of their own kids.
You’ll do yourself no good at all by "hardening your heart" toward either the victims or the perps. If you are not emotionally able to deal with the harsh realities of social work, perhaps you should go into a different field. "Sensitive Sallys" don’t last in such positions. There are lots of other venues for a social work career, such as hospital work, nursing homes, schools, etc.. Family services and counseling for abused kids is much needed, but that doesn’t mean you’re cut out for it.

If you feel this strongly, you may want to choose another field. A social worker’s job is to try to teach those bad parents to be not so bad.
To warm your heart, you’ll find that most abuse and neglect are due to poor parenting skills not evil.

My dads girlfriend works some of those cases and she says it’s hard to turn it off mentally.
She’s told me a few stories of what she’s seen and I can’t stop thinking about them and wondering what that kid was thinking when nobody was there to help him/her.
I think they should be shot. We’ve no use for them on this earth. No point in keeping them around.
I think if anyone ever touched my little girl I would kill them. No point in letting the law take care of it, they just give them a tap on the hand and send them on their way.

I’m with Light Bright except that I want to make sure they are not in protective custody in prison. I was watching "Lockup" on MSNBC the other night and they showed how in San Quentin, child molesters (which I certainly consider part of the "abuser" group) live in "special" wings outside of the general population so they will not be attacked by other prisoners. I think everyone in the building deserves "special access" to people who harm children.
I am still reeling over the rapist pediatrician story. Sitting here with my beautiful and innocent children and remembering that story makes me cry.

I work for child protective services and investigate cases of abuse and neglect. It is very difficult sometimes to turn off my emotions but not all of the families are wok with are "bad," they just don’t have the skills necessary to be appropriate parents. Sometimes the families just need help. People are prosecuted for their crimes and the parents go through juvenile court (which is civil and separate from district court) and have to complete court orders to reunify with their children. In some cases we terminate parental rights off the bat. Jail/prison is in store for perpetrators, or fine, or probation, etc. Each case is individual and each perpetrator has their own punishment. It’s a tough field. Make sure your motivation is to help people and not punish them.

i think that they should not be placed in protective custody away from other inmates in prisons…they are the most targeted groups within incarceration and often raped attacked themselves….they should be tortured by inmates and not given any type of special treatment like tv, radio food besides water (faucet) and bread…besides what good are they doing to society being locked up for years and upon their release they are not allowed to be any where near children so they can die in there sooner the better…why should we care for them and protect them when they abused children that could not have protected themselves and are harmless to anybody…..if they are ever released they should be put to live outside of the town or city and far away from children….and well parole officers actually need to do their jobs and check the parolees on frequently….
today in my local news showed a man who molested several girls age ranging from 6-10 yrs old was sentenced to 700+ years in prison molested within a 5yr period.
honestly i could care less what happens to these child abusers as long as they are off the streets and away from children they could secretly or publicly kill them i would not care… ……oh yeah and there is no such thing as a rehabilitated offender once an offender always one….these abusers do not rehabilitate in prison
criminology major…watch "witch Hunt" movie..

Dark Green Monkey (?) is right–education of the parents, initially at least, is the way to go. Most neglect, especially, comes from lack of education. Frankly, society expects too much of parents sometimes, and expects parents to be perfect from day one. Understand–I am NOT advocating abuse, but a little story of my own paints the picture of what I’m referring to.
Early-on with our 2nd child we had her outside summertime in a childseat, someone observed that we needed mosquito netting. In a totally light-hearted manner I stated "well yet another thing the hospital should’ve told us." I honestly didn’t know of this need. The person said, in a snotty matter, "well that’s just common sense." My reply: "well it’s also common courtesy to MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!"
That’s how people are these days, they think parents can’t make the slightest bit of a mistake and deserve to be dressed-down for the slightest of mishaps. Frankly, with such petty things, they SHOULD mind their own business. (I don’t agree where it regards bruises/broken bones etc.)
