[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 218900, member: 1991"] It sounds like a good outcome to me. What would jail time serve? I think it is much better that he serve 'time' OUTSIDE jail where he can function far more normally but have so much restriction and supervision on him that he HAS to go straight and do absolutely nothing wrong. He knows that even if nobody else will be watching him, YOU will be and will drop him in it at the slightest sneeze. It's easy to not offend when you're inside. Much more difficult when you have to change your own life because you're currently living it. Frankly, this shouldn't be about revenge (although if it had been MY 13 year old daughter I would be wanting to castrate him myself, probably with a rusty blade after doing the wethers in the paddock). It should be about him learning to never offend again, to live a good clean life and prevent others from doing what he did. If your daughter had been put on the stand there's a chance some blasted defence attorney would have made it look like she invited him in. The thing is, even if she did invite him in, it would have been completely wrong. But in a court, this can get lost and distorted. She also would have felt a lot more personal responsibility for his sentence and really, she has no reason to feel guilty. At 13 she just isn't legally old enough to have any guilt in this. You done good. The court done good. Marg [/QUOTE]
