Law and Protecting the Children:

Chesapeake, Norfolk, Portsmouth and Virginia Beach now have billboards proclaiming "Isn't she a little young?' I suspect they will have little effect. those sick enough to go after a 12 year old aren't likely to be dissuaded by an ad campaign.

On the other hand, I think that massive punishment for those preying or attempting to prey on our youth is a great way to keep them off the street and away from kids. This is entirely too light a sentence. One hopes that he doesn't actually get parole after 3 years but even if he doesn't only receiving a little more than a year on each of 20 felony convictions of sexually molesting prepubescent boys is not enough.

This sentence feels right on the mark. If you want people to stop trying to lure young kids thru the internet start handing out more sentences like that.
