Money is everything. If your kid were molested and you were paid $20 million to settle the case, would you take it? I would take the money. I mean, it's molestation, not rape. I wouldn't mind if I was molested for $20 million. What else would you want Jackson to do if he molested your child? To go to jail for the rest of his life? Please. $20 million = $20,000,000 That is a HUGE chunk of money!!! So those of you who talk about how you would fight to the end if someone molested your kid and not take the money, you are liars!!
in other words, would you as a good parent put your child up for prostitution? letting kiddy fiddlers have their way with your children and then benefiting financially from it sick b*stard.
Did you not read what I said? It's molestation, not raped. So did Jackson ram the kid from behind? What should be the consequence for molestation then? Because I don't see bonds less than $20 million that are less harmful than molestation.
This is your strongest argument. I stopped reading afterwards; you had me here. Personally, if any fence-sitters (still worried about the long-term psychological effects of rape on their children) still find themselves straggling, I'd keep adding zeroes until you seal the deal. $20 million = $20,000,000.00000000000000000000000000000 Might want to convert that to Zimbabwean dollars, just to sweeten the pot.
You dont think that would have psychological impact on the child? Sure, it may not be the same thing as rape, but if you think that your child doesnt at least have some potential of being seriously messed up mentally because of being molested, then you dont know what you are saying. Sure, I'd let someone molest me for 20 million, but my child's innocence would have no monetary value.
From what I know, molestation is just feeling on the private parts. You cannot tell your kid that the man who molested you was just "oh it's just his way of doing things, it's not nice, but now we can go to anywhere you want to in the world"? And with the money you're given, you cannot buy him much more happiness? I think people take this too seriously. And $20 million is not enough?
Not if you, the parent, don't make a big deal out of it. If you tell the kid he'll be f**ked up for life, then he'll believe so. Kids forget quick. With so much money to spoil him for the rest of his life, not just his childhood, he'll surely wouldn't mind. Imagine if you were a molested kid and now have millions of dollars. Would you go around feeling bad about something that happened when you were a kid that really did not hurt you physically?
But for how long? How long is enough that $20 million dollars is not enough to pay for the jail time?
That second statement is pointless to make after the first one. That's like saying, "I wouldn't mind if an entire country got wiped off the face of the Earth" then saying, "I wouldn't mind if one person got wiped off the face of the Earth." When you made the first statement, the second was a given. Any good parent puts their child's well-being above their own. Even if you're not a parent (which I'm positive you are not), if you are willing to make the first statement, the second statement is still pretty much a given.
As long as possible. If you can prevent it from happening to 1 kid, that is worth it. How old are you and do you plan on ever having kids?
Kids dont understand the value of money until a later age...by then, the potential effects of molestation far outweigh any money that could be in their pocket. It doesnt matter how much money you have...if you arent mentally stable, its not worth it. There is no telling how much molestation could/would hurt a child. Everyone would react differently regardless of how the parents handle the situation. If there is even a 1% chance of my child being hurt in the long run as a result of being molested, I will pass on the money.
Of course, as long as my kid is unharmed. Look, it's not like the kid is paralyzed for the rest of his life.
