We are not by our very nature a proactive Country but what is it going to take for us to admit that we have a problem. Our children are being hurt and in some instances killed by people who are many times known to them. The perpetrators of these heinous acts are part of a community that exists everywhere in the world and we should know who they are where they live so that we can do better in protecting our children.
It is not every attack that we will be able to be prevent but any action is better than none at all. What is our Government doing to protect our children from the known habitual predators? Joash's attacker was know to prey on children....let that sink in.
Child molesters come from all economic backgrounds, geographic areas and include every ethnicity, race and creed. The sole characteristic all child molesters share is having thoughts about being sexual with children, and acting on those thoughts. These individuals actively seek access to children and the opportunity to be alone with them.
The younger the child, the more likely their abuser is a family member. Keep in mind that family members include parents, guardians, step-parents, siblings, step-siblings, cousins, uncles, aunts and grandparents.
With this is mind going forward, we need to lobby for a Government sanctioned Registry/Website or some way to make the persons who have been either arrested, incarcerated and whom complaints have been made against known to us. Remember, these are people we come into contact with every day!
