You quite clearly haven't read my posts.
Of course I would, as per my previous statements, once you become personally involved in any soft of offence then it becomes emotional
Our criminal law cannot be based on emotion as I've stated before it then becomes about revenge as opposed to justice. Arthurs two posts illustrate this point perfectly.
The law states the guilty party is of an age where he is not to be treat as an adult.
The sentencing as I've already stated is far too lenient. It should have been custodial followed by immediate deportation.

It nearly came to horrendous crime. Luckily, the son of a bitch is dead now. I am still scared about now - and l am nearly 65. It took me 20 years to tell her half it
That will be with the child for life. I strongly believe that ANYONE who commits this crime against anyone whether they are 18months old - as it has been stated many times before, that this has happened up till 90 years.
I would bring back the death penalty - simple as that

I also suffered abuse when I was a child, both physical and mental at the hands of my stepfather. It has led to me having mental health problems (which linger to this day) including a stay in psychiatric hospital. two suicide attempts in my early twenties. CBT, psychodynamic psychotherapy, anti depressants etc.
At my lowest I genuinely wanted to kill my stepfather, and actively at some point tried to hunt him down for revenge. Thankfully I didn't succeed, essentially whats the point? my actions won't change the past, and to a degree they would make me nearly as bad as him.
It wasn't until my early thirties when I worked in the training side of the police that I started dealing with it and I chose to use it to spur me on rather than let the past hold me back. I had the help of great friends who helped me get myself into the mindset I now have.
Of course there will always be lingering thoughts, but in the most that part of my life drives me forwards rather than looking back.
Apologies for the somewhat personal post, but, sometimes you need to highlight the position that you're coming from.
The death penalty has no place in a modern civilised society.
