		<description>While I understand the good of states rights I cannot understand why we don't have more equal punishment of known sex offenders. I have an issue with sexual abusers of children.

I find also that people in general want to pretend that child molestation does not happen. Parents put blinders on and they don't even believe their own children sometimes.

Also we need to look to the root of all of this. Why is it that children are afraid to speak to their own parents when they've been molested?

I feel that some children keep quiet as it is easier to deal with the abuse and to keep quiet then telling someone and adding more problems to the mix, such as dealing with parents who refuse to believe, etc. etc. 

I could go into a rant but I'll shut up now.</description>
