Grainne...
I am sorry for the experience you went through, but that was no fault of your own. I hope that you have healed well and that the trauma you went through is nothing more than a faint shadow in your mind now. I know that burns are traumatic as can be and I truly hope you've healed.
Concerning prison... one of the most debated arguments concerning prisons is the controversy over whether prisons should be rehabilitative or punitive in nature. Considering the crime against Kyron, how does the prison rehabilitate a person so broken that he or she considers KILLING a small child the solution to whatever problem the killing was supposed to correct? Can that person be rehabilitated to the point that he or she can be trusted to re-enter society and present no threat? I don't think so, and here's why.
Any person who would envision--and carry out--the solution of murdering a small child to be logical, to be the best solution to whatever problem plagued him or her... well, that person is a selfish psychopath with little hope for rehabilitation.
I do hope that the perp, if found guilty by a jury of his/her peers and sentenced to prison, is able to get some form of counseling/therapy. But that counseling should take place behind bars for a lifetime, not on the outside. I'm of the opinion that child-killing psychopaths can't be fixed.
All the above is my opinion.
