  1. Praise the Lord; we don't need new laws; we have very good laws; we just need them enforced to the maximum allowed for the crime.

    1. No…while I agree our laws need to be more vigorously enforced, laws for juvenile infractions are truly insufficient. That’s exactly why juvenile offenders keep offending - they KNOW not much punitively will happen to them!

  2. Anyone who willingly endanger young children like this need to face a firing squad. The reason these things happen is because the laws have become too lax in such cases. As long as perps can get away with such; they will, and that means yet other children are endangered.
