If you knew someone had molested your kids, would you kill them?

Question

You are aware that your child's life has been scarred forever, right?

You are aware of the kinds of neuroses these kids grow up with and have to deal with for the rest of their lives, right?

You are aware that the molester will do very little time (even the worst of offenders usually gets less than ten years) and that when released they will more than likely do it again, right?

I'm asking you, if you had conclusive prood that someone did the unthinkable to your babies, would you kill them? Take away the punishment aspect - let's say you had a foolproof alibi and could get away with it. Would you? Getting a lot of holier than thou idealist answers here, but not a lot of honesty... YOUR KIDS, for goodness sake...

Answer 1

Let me start by saying that our son was raped when he was 5yrs old. The rapist was a 12yr old boy. This kid was actually at our house when my son told! Before I realized what I was doing I had my hands wrapped around that bastards throat & was squeezing the life out of him. Know what stopped me? My precious little boy was staring at his mommy with eyes as big as dinner plates. I could actually see fear in his eyes. Had he not been there, I know with an absolute certainty that I would have killed this kid. As for punishment? I don't know about everywhere else in this great country of ours, but this punk never saw the inside of a jail cell! He was given probation & told to stay away from our son! What a great deterrent huh?!! That rapist was given more rights than our son , the victim! Everyone is so afraid of stepping on the civil rights of the criminal that they lose sight of the fact that there is a victim out there!. I say that if you know that you can get away with it. Do whay you have to.

Answer 2

I was molested as a child and quite by chance I now work along side child sex offenders in social services.
I struggled alot as a kid to come to terms with how the abuse made me feel but this is a part of life for an awful lot of people and it certainly gave me a respect and reverence for all the good and gentle things in this world. I admire my parents as I'm only now beginning to realize how much pain it cause them in a strange way it was more than what I suffered.
The offenders I work with today are sorry excuses for souls.
You are good, so are your kids and the love you share is priceless! Your love is important, that is what will heal.
Give your time over to loving your kids not getting angry at this person, it just keeps the hurt going.
Let the Law deal with them, being convicted of this particular crime really does have an effect (no one wants to hire a child abuser)!
Then gather up your family and get on with your life!
Your kids will love you for your ability to carry on it shows them that as a family you are strong and can get through together.
My very very best wishes.

Answer 3

No... I would better serve the needs of my child outside of jail...

I would do all in my power to have the molester arrested and punished to the full extent of the law.. But I would not take the law into my own hands because murdering someone, even someone who deserves to die is wrong...

2 wrongs don't make a right... If I murder the molester I am not better than they are I broke the law just as much as they did... What would that teach my child? If however I followed the law and used the legal system to administer the punishment it teaches my child that when someone wrongs you there are legal means available to exact punishment and remove the offender from society...

Yes I would follow up and be present to testify at each and every parole hearing and I would work to keep the molester in prison as long as possible but all within the law..

Answer 4

No sir. A group of concerned parents killed Freddy Krueger so that he wouldn't molest kids ever again. The kids that he attacks in dreams were born after he died, that's why they never heard of Freddy until he starts to get them. You can get all 8 Freddy movies at Target for 18 bucks, you should do it, it's amazing.

Answer 5

Would i kill them? Thats the easy way out for them. Weather its a man or female that molested the child. Men and women in jail hate child molesters. Do you know what people in jail do to child molesters? If they end up surviving after that then yes i would kill him/her myself.

Answer 6

what a question. I have 1 girl and 3 boys and 2 step daughters. I have also been to prison before, but for bad checks. Killing ONE pedophile will not help your children, it will only make it harder on them because you will be locked up and you won't be able to protect them. See, people don't think before they answer questions like these, and that is way there are so many parent-less children today.

Answer 7

I would definitely want to. I hope I never have to find out what I would do in that situation but being a molest victim myself I don't think I could take it if someone did it to my childrn. Itr would make me absolutely sick and I could snap.

Answer 8

I'm a kid right now and if someone ever tried to molest me they'd be on the floor with a cracked jaw.

But I'm pretty sure my father would make them beg for death.....

Answer 9

If you kill the person who sexually abused your children, you would be sentenced to life in prison without parole. Your children would live in an unstable environment and be left without a parent. The best thing to do, would be to take legal action. You don't want to be separated from your children, who will protect them then?
They will come across other difficult situations throughout their lives and they will need you to be around for support.

Answer 10

My step brother sexually abused both me AND my sister and my mother did not kill him, although we ALL have had fantasies of doing so. She knows because we told her. She is still married to the abusers father BTW. I have forgiven my mother for not protecting me and we have an awesome relationship now. I spent a lot of time in therapy and have come to terms with my past and have been able to move on with my life, however scarred I may be.
