Re: "Judge warns general public of rapist to be released Friday," Feb. 4 article.
I began to think, as great as a warning is, why couldn't you just keep him? This almost-free delinquent has repeatedly told the judge and authorities that he plans to rape again, he enjoys being a rapist and he anxiously awaits his release to do it again.
Something is wrong here: Why would we let this individual back into society? Now that he is 21, he will have more opportunities to prey on unsuspecting females.
I think the law should state that they are held to 21 then reevaluated, to see if they are fit for society,and if they aren't, they go to jail. If our professionals can't straighten him out, let him serve some hard time.
Megan's Law has helped protect many neighborhoods from sex offenders; the problem here is this great law doesn't apply to minors who are offenders. I feel these younger individuals could be much more dangerous, because younger people tend to live more social lives.
We are allowing problems like this one slip through the cracks. If he doesn't want to change his behaviors, what will his introduction to society help?
