Well I've read many times over and over again about how we need stricter laws. I do agree there are lot of states and various laws that need to be enforced, changed, or even made, but I think the answer is more complicated than that.
You can make the toughest laws in the world and yes that might deter some, but I think the problem is something that no one wants to admit. The issue is how can you change what is in people's hearts? No law out there is gonna make pedophiles, abusers, rapist, or murders reform. What about parents who neglect their children? This has been going on since the dawn of time. How do you stop a mother from wanting to kill her children? What law can govern that? Yeah you can prosecute to the full extend of the law and even shoot them or hang them, but still the bottom line is someone has been kill, abused, raped etc. Damaged done.
I really just dont see a solution to this issue. I have pondered it may ways to sunday and I don't have an answer. Is it therapy? I know that regarding a kid getting abused by parents you can reform the child welfare system. That would help a lot. But when it comes to adults that prey on our children then I'm at a loss. It seems like there is more and more child *advertiser censored* out there than ever before. Those that have been convicted can be tracked, but it seems that there are so many out there in the shadows.
Or what about serial killers? I guess people can be more aware of their neighbors and stuff, but in American we are very self absorbed. I've been in the same neighborhood for 3 years and I don't know my neighbors. I know the teen next doors name but that's cause my nephew went to school with her. that's it.
Our country has issues and I think it's time people dig a bit deeper instead of just blaming the system or so called "liberal" judges or whatever. The problem is more than just laws. Our whole collective compass as a nation has become eskewed.
