The Effect of Childhood

[heslopian]

I don't think parents have the right to demand sentences which could be detrimental to society. Who do you think would be charged with cutting off Ian Brady's hands and tongue, torturing others to death? Human beings, like you and me. People of flesh and blood told to do what their victims did. How do you think that would affect them? Imagine if you were given the power to reduce someone to a screaming bleeding blob of flesh. You don't think that would change you in any way? Make you less William Marsland and more Charles Manson? By allowing such punishments we infest society with potential monsters, thus running the risk of more innocent people dying.
