Child Abuse

I think a longer and sgtiffer punishment is needed for these types of crimes. I also think the man or woman should be forced to have an operation so can reproduce again. I know it won't stop them from getting with someone who already has kids. But it would still help.

Child abuse is terrible and disgusting. I can't believe a parent could do that but unfortunately some do. No, jail isn't enough although their fellow inmates will be less than gently to them. Still, they get out eventually and can do it again. And it really saddens me to hear such stories at least once a month if not more often.

Yeah it is sad and swful to hear stories about relatives that can do this sort of stuff. I mean these are people our children should be able to trust. I dont think there is any punishment you could name that would be enough of a punishment for crimes like these.

It is down right ludicrious that some people would do any of those things to children,especially if they are the parent of the child they are doing it too,and it makes me sick to cases like that on television,and I dont think jail time is enough,I think that anyone who hurts a child in any way,shape or form,especially a parent should be flailed.

It just disgusts me. I can't even begin to understand how people can do the things they do to little children. The problem is that they system we have for safeguarding children is not working. We take kids away from good mothers for the littlest things and leave these children in these terribly abusive homes because when the abuse is truly happening they want to make sure they have plenty of proof. This has been getting worse over the years and it just makes me sick!

Child abuse is sad no matter who is doing it or how. It breaks my heart to see a parent, step-parent or any other family member mistreat a child. I have friends who scream and yell at thier kids, not feed them, slap, push, pinch them. When they are mad at someone else they take their anger out on the kids. They pick on people who are weaker and they get away with it. They don't realize how much damage they are doing to the kids. I have no respect for anyone who would mistreat a child. We are supposed to be their safe place and it's terrible when some kids have no safe place at all. Jail is not enough. Some people should never ever be allowed to have any contact with children. I was abused as a child and the emotional scars it leaves can never be earsed.
