Scottie's Playtime 
Then again the other person who was in jail is now very dead. There is a certain justice in that. Considering who some of those ‘rich old men’ were does give me the whim whams…

Maybe because I see things differently but it strikes that one now very dead man has come back to haunt those who are not
LOL …

Hi Ten Bears. Also I never want death for a repeated child abuser because it is harder for them in prison. Not that I think prisons should be punitive and I would love them to be rehabilitating but some abusers can’t be rehabilitated nor their crimes forgiven. But there needs to be understandings. The shy abused kid who repeats what was done to them with another kid is not the same as the guy that kidnapped a 13 year old, kept him in a box in the ground raping him up to four times a day for a week before leg shackling him to the wall of the box in the ground then leaving him to die. If you are interested in the rest of the story the 13 year old was made to testify in open court against him and after being sentenced to life the guy continued to complain he was there only because the kid made sure of it. So in his mind the kid was the villain. It has taken me 3 weeks and I just managed to finish the 16 minute video. Hugs

Hi Judy. I understand what you are saying / feeling but I have a question. I love the Norwegian style of prison that focuses on rehabilitation while respecting that all humans no matter what they did are human.
But let me ask you about the worst predators on children such as Gary Wayne Gacy or Jeffrey Dahmer among a lot of others, what punishes them more for their acts on kids … the sudden relief of death or the being made to live the rest of their life in a US prison?
I admit this one is hard for me as I know of people who reenacted as kids their abuse with other kids. I know I was forced to “perform” with other kids … Should they be judged the same as the ones who forced us into doing it? Should I because sometimes the other child was younger than me?
I was lucky it was rare in my case but on the survivor site I read of people who were abused who had it extend to other family members their own age plus or minus because it was accepted in the family. These people hate what they did, but I don’t hold them as responsible as those who first abused them or the ones who used me. Hugs
