HPD: Man prostitutes 4-year-old on 'daddy's little girl' Craigslist ad

At least the pedophile can partially blame his brain wiring. But pimping your kid off for money? That is pure evil.

Four years old. She was just a baby, not even old enough for kindergarten. Where the hell was this child's mother???
 
This one...ISIS can have.

Unless the mother is dead or otherwise completely out of this little girl's life, she absolutely had to know, and should be standing up there beside him. This is despicable.

Sadly and far too often...even if they know, the courts may put the kids in foster care where they may get a real legit shot at a loving family, only to have the mother petition the courts for custody, win, and have the kid live the next several years hating the mother and acting out in some pretty personally and externally destructive ways.

... among which would be serial killing.

The death penalty is getting less and less popular in the USA with the passage of time.

Some states like California don't even enforce it even though it is on their books.

My personal view is that the death penalty is appropriate in any case of murder where the family of the victim is in agreement with it.

The death penalty mostly gives closure to the families of the victims.

The family of the victim is the last entity that should be making decisions like this. They're too emotionally involved, and in their clouded state less able to properly discern.

If anything, justice decisions need to be as dispassionate as possible.

I have always been outspoken against the death penalty, but if we are going to have one, this animal needs to be included. He drugged a 4 year old girl and pimped her. He needs to die. Whoever he pimped her to also needs to die.

I don't think the DP is appropriate anymore, but Life in Prison without Parole is. And that's what this guy should get.

I do: the father because he has betrayed a sacred trust. People who want to have sex with babies are sick, and children must be protected from them. It begins with daddy and mommie.

Not intending to derail, but that's the same reason why a crime by a police officer is more egregious than the same crime by a common criminal... betrayal of trust. It's not quite the same depth of trust as between parents and kids, but it's serious nonetheless.

It DOES derail because people like me can't let that opinion stand without challenge.

There is no comparison between a police officer doing his job, and a parent loving and protecting his child. One is for a paycheck. The other is for humanity.

Give this disgusting sub human 99 years housed in general population of a violent prison.

I said I didn't *intend* to derail. I didn't say it wouldn't. ;)

Anyway, are you saying that a police office who commits a crime while in uniform is "doing his job"?

I need to clarify, because it sounds like that's what you're saying, and to be honest I'm unaware of any official LE job descriptions that include criminal activity.
 
I am not a proponent of the death penalty, even in this case. Nor am I a proponent of the "put him in general population" that others here support. That borders on the old Roman Circus where they made bloody sport of criminals.

By far the most effective punishment for people as sick as this scumbag would be to place him in true solitary confinement. Force him to live without human contact for the rest of his miserable life.

I'd rather he be in solitary 23 hours of every 24 for the rest of a very long life in which he has all the time he needs to think.

I've looked unsuccessfully for the details of the charges that caused people in the courtroom to audibly gasp. I have read, however, that he may have served in the Army.

Words cannot describe how disgusting he is. Death is much to good for him.

Yes, this kind of stuff happens much more often than I would want to believe, that's for sure. I don't know about 4-year-old children, though, that just breaks my heart.

My friend is an LCSW, and years ago when she was working on her grad school internship in social work, she did therapy sessions at a home for kids and teens. So many stories like this of young girls being pimped out, usually by their addict mothers, just for the price of more drugs. Heartbreaking isn't even a good enough word for it.

Both crimes are so heinous, that my question was a rhetorical exclamation, but yeah - as a father I do believe there's a special category of badness that involves parental betrayal.

And now that I'm a little older, I can very clearly see where a lot of the goofy kids I knew when growing-up, particularly the girls, often had parental problems involving their fathers. Things I later found out in our late twenties or early thirties, that explained a bit of why they were such wild funky teens and early twenty-somethings.

Some sad stories there as kids, that sometimes come out as adults when getting seriously drunk with trusted old childhood friends. I had had one (of two twin sisters) in my house who was becoming so manically animatedly excited telling a story of parental abuse, that I had to hold her by the arms to subdue her for a few moments, in order to calm her down while she was having what I could only describe as an emotional breakdown. It's one thing to calmly hear or read a story of abuse from a distance; but it's another to see the emotional havoc wrought on an individual attempting to recount it.

20 years later, the raw emotionality of her breakdown still sets my nerves on fire, while simply typing it here.

A high school friend of mine told me one day about how she was raped many times before being old enough for kindergarten. A neighbor and a cousin were the ones who did it, neither of them ever got into trouble. She had a lot of surgeries, and was still in counseling at that time. She was so strong, though, despite it all.
 
I'm against the death penalty. My position has nothing to do with what the criminal deserves. This particular monster DESERVES to be strung up from a tree and have his skin flayed from his body square inch by square inch. And then get a full body rub down with sand paper and salt water.

And that would be day one of his life sentence.

That is what he deserves. But I don't actually want to have a justice system that is in that business.

A wrongfully convicted innocent person deserves to be let go, yet there are people who actually advocate keeping them incarcerated because setting them free would restart an emotional roller coaster for the victims and/or victim's families.

I cannot imagine dealing with the death of a family member at the hands of a murderer while the murder still lives.

I would want to attend the execution myself.

I would even pull the switch if given the chance.

I would prefer to see them rot in jail, till they die.

This disgusting POS should get at best life in solitary confinement with no possibility of parole or even access to the outside world, kind of like in the movie Papillon.
 
I'm gonna be sick now.

How awful.
