I do think that juvenile offenders should be treated differently. Some have themselves been victimized and are "acting out" their trauma. With the right care, they can be rehabilitated. They should be treated on a case-by-case basis. I agree with the rest of this post.

I hear what you are saying @janet56 . I believe that no infant is born evil. A juvenile becomes an offender based as a result of their home (or lack of) environment. The external causes for a juvenile committing heinous crrimes have to be horrific, aside from the rare occurrence of a specific diagnosed organic neurological disorder/disease that could predispose a person to possibly commit such crimes. Ruling out a medical-pathological condition, the key players involved in the child's upbringing should be held accountable. I would swear on a stack of bibles that not one single heinous crime-committing juvenile had a home-life that would even be considered below average.

What is happening now is endorsement of pedophilia based on junk science used to convince the masses that these academics are trying to prevent it. The wool is being pulled over the eyes of many.

Letourneau has been non-stop for at least 8 years now with her efforts to normalize pedophilia. The tragedy is that it's working.

Guess what folks! Elizabeth has a Twitter. Anyone care to tell her what you think of her? https://twitter.com/eletourn She's picture with Jake Tapper, no less.

13Buddha

Saw that earlier today. She is gung-ho, full throttle and an evil, evil woman.

carmencita

Yeah, I don't have Twitter. Someone should send her the FBI pedo symbols and ask her if she knows what they are. She is another False Flag. Another Fake Defender.

Maybe ‘bout time you got that Twitter account, @carmencita , no?

carmencita

I am too scared. Too scared I will screw things up. I don't know anything about setting up an acct. or keeping myself from getting doxxed. Box of Rocks Techie that's me.

13Buddha

I like that term - "fake defender." A new buzz word for sure.

carmencita

Yes, her words tell us what she is. She claims to Defend but Her Words Are Fake. We need to Twitter Blast.

"The same arguments used to convince society to embrace homosexuality are now being used to normalize pedophilia."

Let's not forget that it began with heterosexuals. The City of London sponsored "hippy" movement pushing drugs and "free love" corrupted an entire generation. Just look at the damage Devilina Jolie has left in her wake. Adultery, out of wedlock kids, and promoting 3rd world "trafficking" orphanages. The children always suffer.

13Buddha

I was part of that generation and enjoyed every minute of it in a middle class family, a busy neighborhood, good public schools, part-time job at 15, and furthered my education on my own. No matter what generation you experience, it comes down to values that you learn at home, at school, and at church. Values provide you with the strength and fortitude to make more right decisions than wrong ones.

septimasexta

Yes, but the majority did not follow your path. Your values do not influence the "main stream". In fact, you are mocked and vilified.

13Buddha

That is true, and that is what our world has become. Government, MSM, and Hollywood are to blame. People have become immune to a good, decent life. The changes over the past 15 or so years have been drastic. I did not really start noticing how screwed-up everything was becoming until about 8 or 9 years ago. I had no idea it was this bad. These past 15 months have been an unbelievable experience.

Thus far, I have been unable to find a connection between Elizabeth J. (Looks like that is what her middle initial is) and Mary Kay Letourneau. There are a ton of Letourneau's out there. Personal info on Elizabeth is essentially non-existent. I can't even find her CV which is odd based on her position, the clout she carries, and her numerous academic publications. Here is a small tidbit about her education. https://www.jhsph.edu/faculty/directory/profile/2594/elizabeth-j-letourneau

Mary Kay Letourneau's surname is from her first husband, Stephen Letourneau.

Unable to determine if Elizabeth is even married or ever was.

Wow 13Buddha, great post! I'm flairing this "Important". Maybe Ginsberg will go on to her final reward and we'll be able to get another conservative Justice on the SC to protect against this. Something to pray for.

13Buddha

What a blessing that would be.

Thanks @Vindicator . What a God-forsaken mess we are in.

Vindicator

Never forsaken 13Buddha. ;-)
