Auntie Charo's Soapbox

I was web surfing and ran across k57's article about the kidnapping of the 9-yr-old last night. I almost didn't read it because I thought it had to do with the girl that was kidnapped at the bus stop. In fact, it's another little girl, who was with her family, perhaps busy doing something else that she managed to be taken away and possibly molested. I suppose only those who examined her at GMH know the truth of what happened.
The report notes that the suspect was charged once before(not sure if he served time) for kidnapping and sexual misconduct....I'm thinking if he was lucky like the person who drove a DPW bus who raped two minors and served 2 days out of a 4 year term, he probably would still be in some jail, making little rocks out of big rocks....but on Guam, we don't do the punishment thing....we let people off who molest our children. We seem to look the other way when our kids aren't educated well, are kidnapped, are sexually molested. It's almost as if we don't give a damn! And, since we don't, it'll continue to happen!
If this child was my daughter, you'd have to tie me down because I don't know what I'd do to the man who took her away. I know what my husband would do and know that he'd serve the rest of his life in jail because he'd never let anyone molest any child of his. Reaction is not the answer, however, it never is. We need to be proactive. We need to talk to the lawmakers to make laws that put these sick people away for their lives the first time they molest our children, boys or girls. They can't ruin lives of our innocent young they go about their lives working for DPW or GPSS or some govGuam agency as if nothing ever happened while the child grows up broken. We have to put a stop to the killing of the innocent spirits.
The little girl will go home but she'll never be the same and somehow, we'll all share in the blame....we didn't do much to keep the sickoes like the one who took her away in jail for his entire life.
How do you fix a broken child?
