Some people are just plain mean, then some have a chance. one law can't fit the whole country. I just don't know how to go about thinking up a way to deal with all areas of this subject. Each case should be looked at as an individual. But any kind of child crime, or hate crime should be dealt with harsh. 20 yrs of claiming of innocense, that was terrific your uncle was released. I can imagine the anger he has towards the government, but untill he came up with his proof, that was all they could do.
The one thing I do think is.
If they do time, they should not be comfortable. myself, I can't take a life. But the guilty have to pay for what they do, some how way shape or form. And cost should not be in the picture. Priorities in Gov. spending can be shuffled.
