Two individuals who deserve to be raked over hot coals

but I'll settle for life in prison:

Life term for father who raped baby daughter

A father who filmed himself raping his baby daughter has been jailed for life.

The 29-year-old man raped the girl at least twice and carried out other sexual abuse which he recorded on his phone, St Albans Crown Court heard.

In a victim impact statement the baby's mother said: "He is her dad. If I couldn't leave her with him, who could I leave him with?"

The man, from Hertfordshire, must serve a minimum of five years and 291 days before being considered for parole.

Please, never parole someone who is this depraved. I don't know which bothered me more; the fact he raped a baby or that he filmed it on his camera phone and thought that was cool.

Cops: N.J. teen sold stepsister, 7, for party sex: Trenton mayor calls crime “sickening,” says cases among worst he’s seen

A 15-year-old New Jersey girl set up her 7-year-old stepsister to have sex with as many as seven men and boys at a weekend party near their home and also accepted money for herself, police said.

Trenton police Capt. Joseph Juniak said Wednesday that the older girl started by taking money to have sex with several men at a party in a high-rise apartment. The teen then gave some of the money she had collected to the younger girl to let the men start touching her, Juniak said.

"It went from touching to straight out assault and rape," Juniak said. "They threatened to kill her if she screamed or told anyone."

She needs to be tried as an adult. She needs to be locked away. A fifteen-year-old is mature enough to know this was a terribly sick and wrong thing to do. As YKWIA said, she should be imprisoned until her stepsister no longer suffers from the trauma--which in all likelihood would be a life sentence. And certainly the men and boys who had sex with a seven-year-old (and the 15-year-old, depending on the statutory rape laws in New Jersey) should have the book thrown at them completely.

I have a generally positive view of humanity--its strength, its ability to pull together, the wonder of being alive and being a part of something bright and wonderful. But it's stories like this that remind me of the darker side of humanity, the perpetrators of which lurk in amongst the herd sometimes for years before their depravity is discovered. Some are obviously wrong, and people avoid them. It's the others that scare me. I'm so glad I don't have children; I'd be so neurotic about his or her safety that I'd never give the child space to grow. I recognise that.

These children were not protected from the depravity of others--only by removing these predators from society can we hope to protect more. Lock them away and throw away the key, and be done with them. No parole. No privileges. Nothing. Put them in isolation. Never let them see another face; I don't care. But most of all, never let them be in the presence of a child ever again. They are worthless to society and deserve no less. At least that's my opinion.
