barbaric as it may be...
don't you agree that it is letting them off pretty good for what they are doing?
Molesting a child causes severe damage to the child...
Studies show that this damage can include:
* difficulty in forming long-term relationships;
* sexual risk-taking that may lead to contracting sexually transmitted diseases, including AIDS;
* physical complaints and physical symptoms;
* depression, suicidal thoughts, and suicide;
* links to failure of the immune system and to increases in illnesses, hospitalizations, and early deaths.
[source: http://www.childmolestationprevention.o ... facts.html]I agree that castration isn't a very progressive punishment...but, we can't risk these people molesting more children.
Recidivism rates are way to high. Permanently disable these people from molesting children.
Do you think chemical castration is barbaric?
