Harsh Punishments for Child Molesters Badly Needed
I woke up yesterday morning and found an article about Dean Schwartzmiller, who San Jose Police fear is the worst serial child molester they have ever seen. This guy kept a notebook of over 36,000 names, each with its own creepy category.
Quoted from Inside Bay Area
Police also have arrested Schwartzmiller’s roommate — another convicted child molester — in the home they shared in a middle-class San Jose subdivision. The beige, stucco ranch is a 10-minute walk from at least two elementary schools.
As a parent, this frightens me. I don’t let my sons walk to school, even with their friends. The police are always parked at the church across from their elementary school because weirdos have assaulted six children.
It doesn’t matter which neighborhood you live in anymore. You have to take extra precautions for your kids. Last year, I read in the paper that there are 25,000 registered sex offenders in Santa Clara County who are required to re-register themselves on their birthdays for the rest of their lives. I’m sure another thousand were added to the list by late last year.
Those people should be euthanized like rabid dogs because there is no rehabilitating them. But no, California puts them on permanent probation, allowing them to molest more kids. I’m just sick.

Yes, I agree child molesters are awful BUT I think people with your attitude have taken things too far. For example, that 11 year old boy who got lost in the woods on a Boy Scout hiking trip DID NOT speak up to say “hey, I’m lost” when he clearly heard & saw people looking for him! His parents scared him so bad into not talking to strangers because as they & people like you see it every person in the world is a potential child molester.

You have a valid point in that not everybody is a child molester. I’ve never had the paranoid delusion that everyone is a child molester. I don’t know where you got that idea.
As for that Boy Scout, I was relieved that he was found alive and well.
