I was interacting with someone recently about certain crimes like murder, and the guy was like, he wonders where people put their sense of humanity when they are seeing life going out of people, and yet they won't stop hitting them at the wrong spot.
If there is anyone I expect responsible individuals to respect and protect with their lives is a child. Consider their vulnerability, their innocence, and naivety. Common sense should signal any responsible person to stand by them and not to try to take advantage of them, but the reverse is the case with some people.
I can hold my peace on several offences, but anything that involves taking advantage of a child or an old person really agitates me.
Our religions know why they kick against unmarital sex. Sex is not something anyone should take as a form of having fun in the first place.
It's something specially created for the purpose of marriage; for intimacy, and for reproduction. I don't see any reason why anyone would practice sex outside of that domain, and worse, take it down to indulging in the act with minors.
What pleasure is it in that? Exposing a child to something meant for adults, particularly for couples, is evil.
Some really crazy people would say they didn't force the child, but even if the child doesn't resist but approves of the sexually related activities with one as an adult, that adult is supposed to know that the child doesn't really have what it takes to decide for his/her self at that age.
Curiosity alone is enough to make a child approve of anything without necessarily knowing the implications, only to regret it when they have fully attained the age of understanding.
I have friends who are still lamenting over their childhood experiences with some wicked adults. A very close friend of mine was a victim, and I know what it exposed him to while he was growing up.
The law is fair in the judgment placed on people who sexually harass kids. If you ask me, I will say that no matter the year, sentence, and fine levied on any child abuser, it feels like less.
Maybe a life imprisonment sentence would have best solved the problem. With something like that, we may probably have fewer of those kinds of people in society.
So, asking if people who abuse children sexually should be allowed to see their children is something I would give a capital no to. I know I sound mean, but honestly, I don't agree with the fact that people change, especially if they are used to an act.
These people are already used to the activity; their bodies are already familiar with it. How can we be sure that they have genuinely repented, knowing fully that repentance is like building a new character?
It takes a long time for it to become very effective in people's lives. Simply because a person served a prison sentence and now reunites with society doesn't guarantee a change.
Since the perpetrator's target is children, giving him or her little and properly monitored access to children is a way of helping them overcome their weaknesses.
At least, if they are away from children, even their own, they probably would understand what it means to respect children. But if these people are allowed to commit such a crime and still have their full rights when they are done serving their punishment, then we are not really helping matters; a majority of them would commit that crime again.
