Young children who have to grow up living in fear because of what was done to them and criminals who just walk away to do it again. I saw on the abc tonight they believe only 25% of pedophiles reoffend, no I believe only that number are getting caught again. These crimes such as Denis Fergusons should mean life in prison. These people in committing these crimes I believe forgo the right to live in our society. What happened to valueing our children?

And much longer sentencing to any crime that damages a Child's life. The time that the crime effects the child should be the sentence given. If that means for the rest of there life then so be it.

It is not acceptable to treat these crimes with such light sentences, that does not convey the seriousness of the act, not to mention the pain and confusion sufferred by these small victims.
