  • I would treat this person just like everybody else. I would forgive this person.
  • No, knowing what he did would make me want to punch him, someone else would have to serve him.
  • No, I disapprove, serving time doesn't heal the child, the damage is done, and the molester knows that; frankly probably either doesn't care or is delusional and thinks that the child liked it. Not only has he damaged the child and his own family but the child's family as well. That child has a very good chance of also having extreme difficulty forming normal relationships for years if not his/her entire life after the incident. Also serving his time doesn't mean that as taxpayers we didn't pay roughly $30,000 dollars a year for his internment, not including judicial/legal fees. So this person has abused a child and wasted my tax dollars? and now so everyone is more comfortable i am supposed to be nice? Hell No. I would let him no whenever i saw him what i thought of the person, with both words and body language.
  • I am a mailcarrier. I have to deliver certified letters to a convicted child molester and 2 rapists... one of them violent. I have to be nice to them in the course of my job, but I would be civil anyway. I would never interact with them socially, however.
  • Yes. Everyone makes mistakes, and if they seem rehabilitated we should not treat them like trash. We should forgive that person.
  • It's funny that you ask this. I just purchased 100 acres of farmland from a farmer who retained 12 acres for himself. I've just found out that he was convicted for molesting his own daughter 30 years ago. I have absolutely no interest in ever talking to him or interacting in any way. I will avoid him. If he pushes the issue, he's going to get an earful and possibly a restraining order.
  • No, would stay away from them..
  • If circumstances forced me to interact with this...person, sure, I'd be civil...barely. I guess I'm not spiritually advanced enough to treat a child molester like I treat everyone else, but I can live with that.
  • Forgive? I don't know. I've never run into the situation, as far as I know. Treat him civilly? Job-wise, yes. Socially, I'd not be friends... And I'd feel the need to watch him. One point: There are numerous definitions of "abuse" and "molest"... I'd REALLY want to know what he'd actually done.
  • No, I couldn't. I spent too many years in a school wondering what is going on with this kid, or sometimes a whole family of them.. The kids cry out in behavior, they start to make sure they are a mess, dirty hair, clothing, they act out. One family had 5 daughters, "5" the "step"dad was molesting evryone. These beautiful girls, never opened their mouths to tell. I still could cry. Fathers in jail now, he'll get his there, I hope. If he gets out and I had to deal with him and be nice, no I would not. Ever
