Rep Power: 0 | | All Child molesters should be executed. The sister of Michael Jackson's accuser testified she once accused her own father of molesting her, imprisoning her and making terrorist threats claims similar to those the family has lodged against the pop star.
The teenager returned to the stand Friday for a second day of giving testimony in Jackson's child molestation trial.
"It was a horrible experience to find out … that he had done that to me when I was young," the young woman said of her father, who is now divorced from her mother.

She told jurors she learned from her mother that she had been sexually abused.
"When you were interviewed by police (for the Jackson case) you never told them your father molested you," defense attorney Thomas Mesereau Jr. said.
Her reply: "They weren't asking me about that and I was very young."
Mesereau's cross-examination was intended to show that the family has a history of making allegations of mistreatment. The lawyer also asked about a lawsuit the family brought against J.C. Penney claiming abuse, but the young woman said she wasn't present during that incident and didn't know the details.
The young woman spend much of her time on the witness stand Friday watching a video of herself, her mother and two brothers praising Jackson as a father figure who rescued them from poverty and helped cure her brother of cancer.
"God worked through Michael to help us," the mother of the accuser said in the video played for the jury. "When we saw no hope, Michael said there was hope. … We were broken and Michael fixed us."
The video was shown to Jackson's jury at the end of the trial's first week of testimony, and as the pop star left court for the weekend he commented to reporters: "It went very good, it went very good."
Jackson denies the charges of molestation and Mesereau has portrayed the accuser's family as greedy con artists who traded on the son's cancer to solicit money from many celebrities .
District Attorney Tom Sneddon showed the video. Mesereau had promised to show it if the prosecution didn't. |

Rep Power: 4 | | Mental status Child molesters may be mentally ill and their tendencies can be diagnosed and corrected by professionals. Execution will wreck revenge but may not deter those driven by delusion and addiction. This heinous crime needs a more pro-active approach to keep our kids safe. |

Rep Power: 0 | | I don't think that they should be executed but instead put into either an asylum or secure prison. This way other prisoners can look at them like little girls and put moves on them like they have done to their children...the sick bastards. |

Our knowledge of neurotransmitters and how the mind works, has grown by leaps and bounds in recent years.
Invective is an unproductive way of giving vent to your entirely justifiable and valid emotion.
Please try spreading Mental Health Literacy instead. Put wings beneath the wings of Behavioral Psychologists in your community. Ask for Health Insurance reform so that Psychiatric help becomes more widely accessible. Use proven techniques to evaluate all 7 kinds of intelligence and provide outlets for people to express themselves, as John has done in such exemplary manner with this forum. |

Rep Power: 0 | | I agree with the OP. They should be given death penalty as no one will dare to do this crime in future because they'll know what is gonna happen to them after this. |

Rep Power: 0 | | I have a friend whose father was a "former" child molester. Her father is now a completely changed man. He is a good example of a born-again Christian. But sadly, an unfortunate thing happened to them, his son (my friend's brother) got molested by a pastor when the boy was still 11 years old. The boy, now in his late teens or early 20s is now gay. That molesting incident turned him into a homosexual.
Yes, death penalty to child molesters. |
