text: what should be done about child predators? i think they should experience the same crime they put their victims through. that will be real justice. if there is absolutely no doubt that the predator did the crime they're accused of, the childs family should have first crack at the predator.  i know i would stand a good chance of going to jail if anyone ever hurt one of my kids.  it would be hard not to go after that person and take care of them myself.  too bad parents don't have that right...or at least be given lesser punishments.  i've always heard that child predators are "taken care of" in jail by the other inmates.....i sincerely hope that is true.  short of that, i think cutting off their offending appendages would suffice.
