Sometimes you can go beyond obvious anger and into despair at what is around us. I have two girls 5 and 3 what sort of world is waiting for them?

I have an 8 month old daughter and wonder the same.

Will there be the usual bleeding hearts saying "you can't lock him up for more than 5 mins he's too young to know what he was doing was wrong"
Rubbish if he is the guilty party he knew what he was doing to take them to a secluded area and as such he is a danger to the public - throw the book at him, lock him up, and throw away the key.

This is way beyond sickening. Anyone who says that the person who did this didn't know what he was doing clearly needs to be sectioned.

For some reason the bleeding heart liberals seem to be in some sort of time warp as to when the major events in a child's life start to occur. 99% of kids are no longer innocent at the age of 10-11 and fwiw my observations suggest to me that the age of innocence ends when they are about 8 or 9 now. Blame it on TV, blame it on their peers, blame it on the parents, blame it on whatever you will it's a fact of life.

I have no answers, but it is clear that softly softly does not work in many cases.

Yes Poor little girls

I don't know the circumstances but if they were my daughters, I wouldn't have let them out of my sight at this age. It's simply too dangerous especially in secluded parkland.

Absolutely. My first thought was the obvious, but my second was what on earth were they doing out in a public park at 9 or 10 o'clock at night unsupervised?!
