Now I understand why North Carolina wants to protect children from the evil influence of same-sex couples.

Makes PERFECT sense to me.

I hope they go to prison for a long, long time, forever doesn't seem too long to me...

@4: I doubt it. They'll probably cop a deal and get 5-10. Only child abusers that get caught with kiddie porn get multiple-decade sentences. Go figure.

I wish Childhaven was available nationwide to be able to heal children like this who need it so desperately. Currently, Childhaven is the only agency in Western Washington that offers the services that children who've been abused need to recover and thrive.

Every Child Deserves a Married Mother and a Father.

Extramarital sex is hell on children.

To be honest, I've known a few four-year-olds who should have been zip-tied to something. I was one of them. I had a babysitter tie me to a chair once, and I deserved it. Hell, Mrs. Fnarf was thinking about it last night watching TV after too many iced teas.

@8 I don't care if it's marital. Sex with children is shitty all around.

Other things that are hell on children: abuse, zipties, and kicks to the face.

@9 -- I've been working with 1 - 6 year olds for almost 15 years now. Never met a 4 year old that should have been tied up.

I really don't understand how people can do shit like this. Or how they can live with themselves.

@4:

Sorry, I can't remember how that deal goes again. "I'll testify against the bigger bad guys" doesn't work in a case like this.
