If you haven't been presented with an opportunity for therapy, how can someone say they can't be helped? Sexual abuse, like any form of abuse, runs in cycles. The abuser was abused. If the problem isn't addressed early on then we end up seeing tragedies like this one. I agree that the analyst was incorrect in saying that child molesters can not be cured.

As I'm reading the comments above, although completely valid, seem to forget that these people did this to their own son. It's disgusting and I hope these people get the maximum sentence.

As a community we need to be more involved and aware....grow and work together! I mean....teachers, friends, other parents didn't recognize ANYTHING??!!! That's just really hard and sad to believe.

But I disagree with the "senior legal analyst" when she says sex offenders can't be "cured" or rehabilitated. We don't put the resources into getting these individuals the help they need (sometimes it's Jesus) because we don't believe they are worth it. Furthermore, I don't know that in this case if the neighborhood people knew a sex offender was in the area it would have prevented the crime, as his father and the child's mother were involved. This is just a sick group of people in truly what is a sick world.

We need to be more aware of our neighbors. Everyone is so focused on looking out for "self" these days, and while that is necessary, we need to re-evaluate and strengthen what it means to be a community. I find it hard to believe that NOBODY in that neighborhood knew that man had a history of child molestation. Somebody should've said something, hopefully next time someone will and another situation like this can be avoided altogether. This is extremely sad, but it’s also an eye opener.
