A former assistant principle in the Los Angeles school system has been sentenced to serve 8 years in prison and pay $5000 in restitution and fines for molesting 4 girls in two different schools. (http://www.foxnews.com.story)
To me, I believe the sentence is too light. Here he was supposed to be someone that kids could look up to as role model and authority figure and what does he do? He used his power to do unspeakable and horrible things to these girls. I cannot imagine the horror of what these girls had to endure. How can anyone ever think of doing such things to our children? Children are our future and they deserve to have their childhood? Children deserve to maintain their innocence? I congratulate these girls for coming forward and reporting this "monster." The hell that he will receive in prison will not be enough. Nothing that the other inmates will do to him will ever be able to give back the innocence that these poor girls have lost.
I believe that our legislators should enact the death penalty to these offenders. The children who are sexually abused will live with the abuse for the rest of their lives. Even with all the counseling in the world these children will be scarred for life. So in turn I believe the offenders should have their lives taken from them.
Who knows if it were only just the four girls that he molested? I mean, only four girls came forward. Whose to say if there were more girls that didn't have the courage like these four girls did. This monster was in a position of power. These girls probably felt as if they didn't have a choice than to let the principle do what he wanted to do to them. Hopefully more girls, if there are any more victims, will come forward and make sure that this monster will never ever leave the confines of the prison system.

This is the first I've heard of this story. I cannot believe that someone with such power could take advantage of these young girls. I agree with your point, that this man needs more time in prison. 8 years is nothing for this man. That's 2 years per girl. What does that say to other "future" child molesters? That if they really want to molest some child, that they will only do 2 years in prison?
