And sometimes Happiness is knowing that there is no statute of limitations, that child molesters can be put away for life, that you have done something very, very good when you decided to press charges, that is true Hapiness.

I agree wholeheartedly with you as a former CASA, Guardian Ad Litem and Child Welfare caseworker I am sickened by how mush sexual abuse of children is going on and even more disgusted by mothers who know it is happening and don't step in to save their children.

Are you joking? Saying the child should do something to prevent being sexually abused is the most asenine thing I've ever heard. So I'll assume you're joking.

Child molesters cannot be prevented from doing what they do short of death or institutionalization. They are master manipulators and con artists. They find extremely vulnerable children. By vulnerable I mean the mom is a drug addict or mentally unstable or extremely impoverished with so many kids she can't attend to all of them.

They seduce, coerce, manipulate and threaten these already vulnerable children for months or years. Child molestors don't stop with just one child they molest many children during their lifetime until they are jailed or die.

The children often grow up to have serious problems with drugs, sexual behaviors, crime, and mental health issues.

On average foster homes that care for children without a disability get 500/month per child. A DD foster home for a child with a disability will get between 2000 and 8000 a month depending on level of disability. This includes any special rate and social security payments. This is in the Multnomah/Washington County area.

Last year I served on a grand jury for a month, and five out of possibly 250 cases were committed by a Hispanic person. What I find to be most disturbing is the media over representing Hispanic individuals as the perpetrators of crime. When I've asked KOIN and KATU about why this happens they simply state that is the information they get from the police. Crimes committed by Hispanic individuals are out of proportion in the media and nobody claims responsibility for it.
