Gee, Fyre, we may actually agree on something...not like last issue (grin). But I may differ on one item...you said there was no cure...isn't castration a cure? Or is that just for rapists? Wattawa, I do know someone (actually, two) who has been molested. My wife's best friend's daughter. When she left her grandfather's home @ 14, she was withdrawn and a person of very few words. She didn't think she was pretty at all and when I tried to take pictures of her to show her (I have a few photgraphic skills...grin), she buried her face. When her mother found out about it, she took it to court. I can show you the outcome in the form a newspaper article where her grandfather is listed as a child molester. The second person was me. I had an older boy masturbate me and made me masturbate him when I was about 8. Before that, my baby sitters made me finger them and lick them when I was about six. I guess they were about 13 or so, because I still remember them having a small "patch" of pupic hair. Strangely, I don't remember much else except being scared and knowing what was coming when the two girls started taking off their clothes. I don't let it bother me. And, though I will probably "take fire" for saying so, I imagine it's worse if this sort of thing happens to a little girl. So, in spite of those items, I still think the law goes too far.
