Sad story, but do you think there daughter would have been happy of her parents were locked in jail for 25 years?

A mental institution is a better place for them then a prison.

Neither is really acceptable.  Either is vindicitive and pointless.

It's not pointless if it stops other people from doing the same thing in the future... which is one of the reasons why the justice system was invented, isn't it?

 

I highly doubt it does stop people from doing it in the future.

I mean... if the death possible death of your child isn't going to stop you... Jail time is?

You don't think these parents would of went to jail for 25 years if it would of saved their kid?

The story being reported is more likely going to stop people from doing it then any jail time.

Any jail time in fact may cause people to feel prosecuted and self righteous in what they're doing.

This isn't a crime of greed.   It's a crime of ignorance.  Crimes of ignorance can not be erased via punishement.
