Can Rapists Be Rehabilitated?

Same here. It's insulting to the victims, to reward the criminals like that.

I was curious what our children think about these types of issues, their thoughts from their perspectives. My daughter had some interesting insight that made me think.

"Y'all are waiting far too long to intervene Mama. The same kids that are getting into trouble in high school right now, were doing so by 2nd grade. How come someone didn't intervene when they were cruel to stray dogs at 5 years old? Or, burned the neighbors fence down just for fun at 8 years old? Or, didn't have "normal" schoolyard scuffles but actually wrapped their hands around someone's throat by 9 years old? I bet we can almost pinpoint the kids today that will one day be in prison."
