No More!

This is one topic that I'm very passionate about, and although I'm not an advocate of the death penalty, I believe the commission of this crime warrants the death penalty. I'm talking about the molestation or sexual abuse of a child. I think that most child molesters get off with a slap on the wrist. What on God's green earth is attractive about a 2 year old child or even a 12year old child's body? Whatever happened to carrying out your fantasies with a willing adult participant?
Most times, the perpetrators are people that we trust such as teachers, priests, pastors, family friends even our own blood relatives. Once again I ask, what is so attractive about an innocent child?Why are these fools so bent on destroying the child? Even though, some resources and counselling might help the child, think about it, most people have flash backs for the rest of their lives. Some people try to get over it, but some never do for as long as they live.
What is most amazing, is the fact, that women perpetrators are becoming as bold as their male counterparts. Have you seen the number of female teachers on the news lately that have preyed on young men? So parents can't even trust sending their children to school without their children being preyed on. Like I stated earlier, these fools are let off the hook very easily maybe 10 years in jail with probation and signing up with the sex offender registry in whatever city they live in or move to. Most child molesters will repeat the crime, so why not leave them in jail and throw the keys away?.Why is it that drug dealers get harsher punishments than child molesters?
This problem is universal, at least if you get caught on this side of the world, there is some kind of punishment. In Nigeria, I'm not sure that people even want to talk about it. Parents are scared of what people will say if they confront the situation, so they brush it under the rug. Many 'aunties and uncles" are taking advantage of innocent children while Mummy and Daddy are busy trying to make a living. Most of these kids are too ashamed to tell their parents or sometimes have been threatened by the adult that has sexually abused them.
Sexual abuse of a child cannot be prevented in all situations, however we can start out by talking to our kids, establishing a good rapport with them, abeg don't trust nobody when it comes to your kids, That person that you feel, you know so well might be the one person that is molesting your kid. There are various websites that address the issue. One example is: http://childmolestationprevention.org/.
This is a difficult topic for me to talk about, but lets raise our voices as adults and say "No More" because it could be your son, daughter or relative that becomes the next victim.
