Fred, I would agree with you except for one point. I know a person sitting in jail right now accused of doing something I would guarantee didn’t happen to his daughter. This little girl he devoted so much of his time to, turned on him and reported unmentionable deeds to child services just to get out of grounding and punishment. She even got herself placed in the very house her father refused to allow her to go back too.
He has nothing and can afford no legal help. His daughter has been having the time of her life. State money, free car, seventeen and wild.

Here he sits assumed guilty of the most horrible acts. He is a retired Navy Seal and one hell of a man. His life will be marked forever. I wish I could do more to help him.

I received an email from this TM asking me to delete their comment, I must have done so just before you posted BZ, sorry…

And I still think a .40 behind the ear would put an end to ANY pedophiles dreams of molestation, and never to be a predator again…

Having worked Child Abuse, I can tell from many personal experiences what a devastating blow this kind of crime has on literally everyone across the board. And in terms of application, TM, California state law, for example, makes a clear delineation between persons 14 and below, then 14 and above. Those are generally two entirely separate categories with two entirely separate sets of circumstances. Abusers are “ageists” and, once children pass out of their age-range preset, they are mostly uninterested.

That written, I would go for something like Two Strikes. Three is simply one TOO many. If you’re looking for a predilection, two will indicate.
