Sexual predators

I was commenting on a link on FB today that kinda went off on my own semi-tangent and wanted to re-post here. I was responding to someone saying she doesn't fight against molesters because they get enough fight already.

The original article if you are interested is here:

Although i do agree there is a lot of anger around sexual abusers i don't think that anger results in actual incarceration or punishment to those who should be punished. Most molesters are those who know the child and know the family. Subsequently there are lots of emotional and social reasons why they don't get punished or even noticed. There is also (i believe) a distaste even from a legal/political point of view to invade the home (ironic isn't it).
That's not to say that all those people who've been screwed over by holier than tho politicians are deserving of that injustice.
As to being seen as being "pro-abusers" i think the fear of letting real abusers through the net if they loosen the rope would be negated if they realized those real abusers are not getting caught anyway; they are your kid's step-father, uncle, father, teacher, family friend., etc. Want to stop it? Empower your children. Make it easy for your children to talk to you about anything, especially the small stuff so they can then come to you for the big stuff. Notice the signs. Ask questions. Know where your children are. Listen when they don't want to spend time with so and so....
