FAQ: Child Sexual Exploitation

[ismnotwasm]

How big of a problem is child sexual exploitation?

The sexual victimization of children is overwhelming in magnitude yet largely unrecognized and underreported. Research indicates that 1 in 5 girls and 1 in 10 boys will be sexually victimized before adulthood.

1. Makes me sick this happens...

Bad enough when it happens to adults. But children?

Those that commit crimes like that against children should be locked away for life with no chance of parole ever.

2. I agree

My SIL works in correction and works with 'special offenders' I don't know how he stands it.

My daughter, who is on the conservative side says legalizing marijuana will help open prison space and they'll serve their sentences more consistently. Here is Washington state we just closed a prison, McNeil Island and then made it into a kind of psychiatric/sex offender prison
