CHILD ABUSE IS PARENTAL NEGLECT.
If you can't spend the time, don't do the crime.
Child abuse is preventable and is parental neglect.
It is time we stop locking up sick people in Medieval
cages and throwing away the keys. We should send
them to mental institutions for treatment and stem
cell implantation in their frontal lobes; where there
undeveloped sickness, resides. And, we should hold
parents accountable for not protecting them.
Parenting in an commitment, not a right and if you
can't do it, then you should have children that
sick predators, will get to. Just like a fox in
a hen house; without the rooster there to protect
them from predators, they will succeed.
Child abuse is PARENTAL NEGLECT.
And until we hold parents accountable,
it will never go away.

Burke, maybe in your case your abuse was parental neglect but that statement is so far off base it is unbelievable! As a parent, I'm supposed to be with my child 24/7, not let her out of my sight? What about the kids that are abused by their uncles, brothers, sisters, relatives, preachers, teachers? I'm sorry but I am a very DEDICATED parent and so far I've gotten pretty lucky but what if she wants to go camping with her girl scout troop? How about the sleep over with the church group or slumber party at her friend’s house? I'm supposed to tell her "no" or go with her for each and every event? Until she's 18? How about band camp or if she travels for a sporting event? I was abused by my preacher, a man who had a very good albeit falsely earned good name in our town. When I told my mom she was the one that got him run out of town, she's the one that got me into counseling and help me deal what this sick man did, how is that neglectful? Statistically one in four girls will be sexually abused by the time they are 18 years of age - how can you say that all of that abuse is caused by parental neglect
burke-CHILD ABUSE IS PARENTAL NEGLECT.
It is unbelievable how ignorant you are on a subject so widely talked about! That statement alone should discredit every single comment you make on this site again!
Next your going to tell us that only homosexuals get AIDS!
Did I miss something? Was the article about a sexual predator and not a child abuser? Burke- did you fall of the meds and snap or what? Do you know anything about the parents needing to go out and spend time as two adults so that they dont ruin there relationship with the daily grind? Personally, I find your comments to show that you dont have children (or you would know better than to make such a blanketed comment) so really you dont have a position to speak from.

I hope that you do not have any kids, for their sake!!!!
Child abusers can not be rehab'd Lock them up for life or excute them
that is the only answer.
And he would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for those meddling kids.Lol.
Ignorance is blessed. Show me an abused child and I will
show you parental neglect or incest. EVERY case of child
abuse, by an outside person, could have been prevented
had the child's parents been doing their job of parenting.
But they pass it on to school teacher, police, the next store
neighbor, so they can vacate their responsibility as a
parent and enjoy life without their kids, who fall prey to
predators. The above comments we are selfish parents
and we want other people to raise our children, not us!
Child abuse is parental neglect and until we start putting
PARENTS in jail, it will continue. Some people may not
like to hear the truth for they fear it.
It is easier to say lock them up, throw away the keys,
but that breeds only more sick predators. The answer is
to hold parents accountable for their offspring's and to
punish them, for their neglect! Stem cell implants in the
frontal lobes, will cure this sickness and we need to put
them in mental institutions; where they can get the help
they need, not in jail with hardened criminals where they
are abused, for having been abused as a child, because
their parents weren't their to protect them. You can
hee haw around the bush anyway you like, but child
abuse is parental neglect and parents have been getting
away with murder and it is easier to lock them up, than
look at the real predator in a mirror......... YOU!

Parenting is a 24/7 job and if you can't do it, you should have
children. This is called planned parenthood. This is a child's
first line of defense against predators, the parents. You can't
milk it out to other people; either you are there or you are
neglectful of your responsibility, as a parent. Parents are
the guardians of the henhouse, to keep the wolfs at bay
and either you exercise your judgment and protection or
predators will move in. Not all child abuse is predatory,
and not all children get protected. No parents want to
admit that they failed their children and didn't protect
them. They find it easier to lock them up, throw away
the keys or pass illegal laws to arrest them. The child
abuse laws are illegal as them stand. If you are a
parent and your child is abused, you have nobody to
blame but yourself. Pure and simple. YOU become
the predator, by your neglect to protect your children.

Oops, sorry Newsminer. It's not a matter of parent neglect but it's about knowing the signs your child is being abused. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children have a lot of good information on this subject and on how to protect your child. Also keep in mind most cases don't involve strangers. It can be members of your family and it's not always male to female abuse it can be male to male and female to female.
The article didn't elaborate if this was a child abuse offender. Sex offenders can be rapist of an adult.
