A Video Story of the Lengths a Predator is Willing To Go To Get Your Daughter

Many of you know what Hell the last year has been for my family. I ask that you share this short video. I believe we must not remain silent, and instead shine a light in this dark subject.

Please watch this short video:

Pedophiles and sexual predators can be very hideous creatures, but, more often than not, are charming, affable and trusted by those who may be parents of their intended victims. That's the game they play!

All parents need to be vigilant of predators in their midst, but single moms especially have to be careful. Bringing a boyfriend into a home with young girls is dangerous and reckless. And as this story shows, predators are willing to go to extraordinary lengths to get access to your children.

Please be careful; lost innocence is gone forever.

The other aspect of this story I want to discuss is the evil practice of plea bargaining. 90 days for the rape of a child is a joke, a very bad joke. Within months of raping the 15 year old, the pervert is back on the streets where the girl can encounter him. How traumatic is that likely to be? 

Prosecutors seem to give away the farm for a plea bargain, and that enables the predator and further violates the victim. Not only do they agree to a fraction of the possible sentence, but they also agree to drop most of the charges and agree to a plea on only one or two. 

Plea bargaining should be used very carefully and should result in a relatively minor reduction in charges and sentencing. The current system is not protecting children, it benefits only the perpetrator and the prosecutor's workload. Plea bargaining may be a way of having the victim avoid being cross-examined on the witness stand, but courts must develop methods to make such an experience considerably less traumatic for children.
