I can't believe I'm posting another one of these... First off, since this keeps happening, I've been hearing alot of people saying the law needs to be toughened. I'm not going to discuss that subject here, but I will say this: Toughening the law will not bring a child back to life. Nor will it undo the effects of an assault. A sociopath, by definition, does not consider the outcomes of their actions. If the sociopath did that, he would not commit the crime to begin with. We're not talking a thief here, who, on one hand, has no money, but on the other, fear the repercussions of being caught. We're talking about someone whose brain is malfunctioning.

The abduction and slaying of Jessica Lunsford is a tragic loss for the family, and there is no way to express what the death of a child entails, a whole potention universe has been ended. What upsets me about this is how much can be done to prevent these kind of occurences. Jessica is dead, but the living can do something to reduce the likelihood of this happening again. Just a year ago, Carlie Brucia was abducted and killed near a carwash in Sarasota. Now a scant 100 miles away, a similar event takes place.
