      Would you have the balls to say that to the face of the parents of a slain child?

      Or only from the anonymous safety of your computer screen?

        Rehabilitation doesn’t mean the perpetrator won’t spend years separated from society, just that the perp’s sequestration happens in a setting meant to enable him/her to return to society in the distant future, assuming the perp becomes a changed person.

        Is this even a question either? Rehabilitation absolutely should be the goal,if possible, no matter what. I’m sure the parent will want revenge, but that doesn’t make it right.
