I am not a mother, but if I were, I would not stand for this...

I am not a mother, I if I were I would not stand for seeing all of these innocent children getting abducted nearly everyday, kidnapped, tortured, and in many cases, killed. I live in the United States of America, and almost everyday I am hearing on the news that children are being kidnapped, raped, tortured, and murdered, and I think to myself, "How? How can people be so cruel? How could we let this happen to our children? What can we do to fix this problem?"
I know that children are not animals, but to prevent from happening to another child, I proposed tracking devices and possibly tracking chips because until our country can develop a system for putting the monsters who do horrible things to our children in prison, what else can we do? Personally, I would like to castrate or lobotomize these monsters who do this to these innocent children, but people will tell me that is inhumane, well, I think that what they are doing to our children is inhumane, and the monster who do this should suffer horribly.

I would not allow to have something like that IMPLANTED in MY child!! As their mother I care for them watch over them and do my best to keep them safe surely that is all any decent parent does?
Just because i would not allow that does not mean I do not care about the familys of the children abducted or the children themselves but will making our world a "big brother" place I dont think that is the answer sadly there will always be people like that on this earth no matter what all we can do as parents is do our best to keep them safe.
And how does another wrong make the first wrong right? of course they are human but surely wanting to do something so awful back to them makes us just as inhumane its like a mob mentality isnt it??? Surely we can be the better people and allow the law to do their job end of!

Yes, the police were called, and all they did was have a talk with the man's parole officer. The man still lives in my neighborhood. The police told us that unless he had actually gone up and did something to her, they could do nothing. What kind of police force is that?

I know that people make mistakes, believe me I know that, and I know that there are some men who went to prison for sleeping with girls who were 17 and they were 25, and I thought that was ridiculous, especially when in some countries the legal age is 16, but when a man who does something horrible to a child that is younger than 13, and yes, I know about women out there who do horrible things as well, and they should be treated no differently from men, but it as if you just want people to completely forgive those who have done crimes so heinous and horrible? Sick people who have molested and murdered children, children who have done nothing to deserve that. People should forgive a person for molesting and murdering a child. Is that what you are telling me?

yes - I am. At least give them a chance. If they turn out to be a complete A-hole and not sorry for what they did then eff 'em. Let them rot in hell... I don't personally know any child abusers/molesters, etc personally, but I am friends with a few people who did some pretty bad stuff and they totally turned their lives around... and I knew one man in particular (my ex) who did some horrible things in his past and he thought he had turned around, and so did everyone else - but in the end, he didn't. You just never know.
Okay - how about looking at it this way... say you meet a realy awesome person. Tons of things in common you hang out all the time. Go shopping, do lunch, coffee, family get togethers, etc. Then one day this new best friend finally confides in you and tells you about the horrible things they've done (to children... for this example)... would you really cut all ties?

They do have GPS tracking devices, but are very expensive, and most kids will not wear them but carry them in their back pack. I agree these people that do these things to kids, should have no mercy placed upon them, no matter their absurd reasons for doing what they do.

Thank you for your comment. It is true, GPS tracking devices are expensive and most children will not wear them, but there has to be something out there. Do we need a better "Amber Alert System"? Do we need to place cameras by the schools? What exactly can we do right now to make sure that this doesn't happen to more children?

Hmm... I've gone to 5 schools... and every single one of them had cameras throughout and outside... and that's going back to 1990-2002

I refuse to put any kind of tracking chip in my daughter - PLUS you must remember that once electronics/technology is involved, so are hackers. Thats all I need is some sicko sitting down the road waiting to see that my daughter has exited that house and is now in the yard.
And whether you're a parent or not, I can say I'm just about 100% positive that NO mother or father or grandparent, brother sister, aunt uncle, friend, neighbor stand for the abduction, rapings or killings of our children - that statement was a little odd.
All I can say is "keep a better eye on your children"
Doesn't this tracking device sound much like Revalations in the bible? It reminds me way too much of the "mark of the beast" kind of crap. It scares me quite a bit.

Okay, then if you don't want to put a tracking device on your child, then what would you do? How do you suggest keeping your child safe? What do you think can be done right now to make sure that no more children have to suffer? I would hate being a mother because I would be in constant fear that something horrible could happen to my child. I am seeing it happen everyday. The sad reality is that children are not safe.

I live in the Philippines. It is the same here. Abductions, killings, rape, robberies are rampant.
In august of this year, a friend/classmate of my niece was killed inside her boarding house with multiple pen stabs and her head was submerged in a basin of water. Nobody could tell why and who did it.
I felt so angry when I learned that. How could this criminal do that to a very young girl. She was only 17.
I made a blog about gadgets that young people must bring for protection. If they cannot be protected by law enforcers, at least they should be vigilant and have something to protect themselves.

Exactly, there has to be some way of making sure that children will not be harmed. Thanks for your input.

I'm very sorry about your niece's friend - what kind of gadgets are on the list?
And rouge - once again, just because someone carries a few things tht could be used as weapons if approached, doesnt mean they'll save anyone... no one is saying we don't want our kids protected... but its the PARENTS job to do so.

yea i know what you are saying there, over here in aussie i live on the sunshine coast in queensland, awhile ago a young boy named daniel morcombe was abducted, years later and theres still no closure,
the parents have now started a foundation in his name, and yearly do a motorbike ride around the coast to raise money for the cause, i remember working in the kitchen years ago (so its grown bigger since then) and hearing bike after bike go past the kitchen window, i had enough time to stop what i was doing, go outside and have 3 smokes watching all the excitment go by,
this foundation has the support of just about anyone with kids on the coast and is actually international now,
it just goes to show you that some parents care that much, and not all are bad.

I am not saying that all parents are bad, I am just saying that there has to be some kind of way to stop these kidnappings and abductions from happening to children. Thanks for your input.

I know people who could do that to kids are monster! they can't be human. Especially if their own parents who abuse their own kids, just can not believe that parents can do that. The law has to be a lot more stronger to those kind of monster, I agree should make them suffer horribly, never let them free, let them rotten in jail. I have 22 months old son, I'm not perfect but try my best to be his mum and will never hurt him, he's my life and my angel, how could you hurt precious little angel.

Thank you for your comment. You are most certainly a mother, and a good one because you are in your right mind, and you would never hurt your baby.
In the U.S., we get news reports everyday and night about abductions of children, and I am sick and tired of hearing it. I would like to think that I live in a country where this stuff should not and cannot happen, but sadly, it does, almost all of the time. Many of my friends and family members are parents. I cannot have children, so I have four cats instead (I consider them my children), but I know that if I were a mother, I would be all kinds of angry if anything had happened to my baby. I would want to kill the person who harmed my child. I think any logical person would feel this way.

I agree with your feelings that these monsters are the ones that are inhumane and they should suffer horribly. But I am not ready to give in to the thought of allowing "Big Brother" to start implanting chips in any of our citizens. I do believe that when one of these weirdos are caught, he or she should be castrated or lobotomized. Also, I am afraid that our society is becoming too protective of "peoples rights" and not standing up against bad behavior. If we don't stop the crazy things that are happening it well only get worse. Thanks for sharing.
Happy MyLotting....

And thank you for your input. I am just so sick of this. I am sick of seeing this happening to children. Something has to be done.
