[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 747211, member: 13303"] The system doesn't go far enough when it comes to minors. That is my personal opinion. I think it does a great disservice not only to society and the victims, but also to the perpetrator. It sends a message that their underage status is a free pass to behave in monstrous ways. The focus will be on "rehabilitation" for now, which in most cases with sex offenders is ultimately not effective unless they are chemically castrated, and I'm not sure that is even done anymore. Once he is a legal adult, if he continues his aberrant ways they'll start with the punishment track, incarcerations and et cetera. As I so often tell adolescents, once you become a legal adult, nobody cares about you anymore except your family. I am sorry that your stepson is so seriously disturbed. It is a terrible burden for any family to face. I expect my eldest will murder a woman one day. I just hope it isn't my wife. I don't think he would harm me. My wife is his biological mother whom he blames for everything bad that has ever happened to him. We tried to help but our efforts were rebuffed. We are now completely estranged from him and his younger brother, and our lives, sadly, are much happier without their presence. [/QUOTE]
