Good !!! Too bad they ALL don"t do that. If this scum bag had lived,he would be out before you know it & destroying other children. This is probably the Only thing he has ever done right in his life.

None of you have ever been in trouble i guess. None of you have the right to judge. Maybe its because you are behind the safety of your computer but i know that not a one of you has the guts to speak like that of anyone to their face or in the presense of their surviving relatives. As far as paying for this poor souls prison time, i bet you are relieved but guess what? You paid for mine, all five years of it. Folks, there are victims and consequences to all of our actions, even these judgemental words you post here. You will answer for every letter of it just as this guy will answer for his actions. Take heed, there was only one perfect one and he is on the judgement seat. Mock away.

If one of these girls grows up and then commits a sex offense possibly due to the abuse she endured will you then wish death on her? Will you dance on her grave? I doubt he did the abuse out of meanness but from a social defect. Some on here also suffer from a defect and have a desire to kill and ridicule. Murder is a higher crime and for that the sentence is death...
