Child sexual abuse effects 1 in 10 homes.
75% of victims will never tell.
There are 500,000 child sexual abuser's currently living in the United States, the abuser only spends an average of 3-7 years behind bars.
85% of child sex offenders are re-arrested.
The average sex offender will molest 117 children (most children never tell).
Studies typically find sexual recidivism rates of
10%-15% after five years of prison
20% after after 10 years of prison
30%-40% after 20 years of prison.
We, the undersigned, call upon the U.S. Congress to PASS A MANDATORY MINIMUM PRISON SENTENCE OF 25 YEARS FOR ALL ADULT CHILD SEX OFFENDERS NATIONWIDE !
When a mandatory minimum sentence is effect thousands of children would be spared. Less re-arrests rates would happen, saving tax payers millions.
Communities would be safer, and most importantly our children, and our children's children would grow up in an society healthy and happy.
NOTE:
There is no trust more sacred than the one the world holds with children. There is no duty more important than ensuring that their rights are respected, that their welfare is protected, that their lives are free from fear and want and that they grow up in peace.
