//The name of the mother speaks volumes.// Really? Do names do often 'speak volumes' Jackdaw? 'Pagan Clover' is the name of the victim's mother who lost her little girl and 'Pagan' is a Pagan name.

When people are released from prison "early" on parole/licence, someone must have signed a document approving the release. I think if that person were held responsible if the released prisoner commits a crime in the period before the original release date, then there would be far fewer criminals released early.
I find it difficult to come to terms with the people whose views of the death penalty are that it does not deter heinous crime. I would wonder whether their opinions would change if one of their loved ones was subjected to a vile crime. The fact is that having shown a propensity for homicidal harm or vile sexual offences these people should be executed to stop them ever doing similar again - never mind deterring others, which, if it did so would be an additional benefit.
I'm still reeling from the fact that this pitiful excuse for a man had already assaulted the little girl two months previously and was not in prison for that. Such a list of failures. Why would his girlfriend leave her God daughter with a man she knew had assaulted her seriously already? Why was she even still with him at all, what woman lives with a man who beats small children? Why would the child's mother leave her little girl with her friend knowing she had such questionable decision making? I struggle to not wish the utmost ill on this individual and yeah he would be no loss to society, that's assured, but do I believe in capital punishment generally, no I don't and cases like this, strong indicators though they are for it's return, do not outweigh the negatives overall. Poor little girl :( x
"Why was she even still with him at all, what woman lives with a man who beats small children?"
You need to understand, calico, that women who live with perpetrators of domestic violence and child abuse do not think rationally. You can gain a small insight into this if you visit your local Magistrates' Court on "Domestic Violence" day (most courts having dedicated days with specialist prosecutors and probation officials in attendance). To listen to some of the stories is pitiful. But even more pitiful than that is the behaviour of some of the women victims involved. Prosecutors often have great difficulty getting them to co-operate with prosecutions (so much so that the CPS now has a policy of pursuing charges without the victims' consent as far as possible). They are reluctant to attend as witnesses (their men never have the good grace to plead guilty. They prefer to put them through the stress of having to appear in court and many of them simply don't). The tales that are heard usually amount to "I love him and he loves me really. I can't bear the thought of him going to prison" (often said from behind black eyes and broken teeth).
A victim of domestic violence has suffered an average of around fifteen assaults before the police are involved. They always believe "he will change". He certainly does - he gets worse. You cannot baffle them with these facts that's why it's hopeless trying to rationalise their behaviour.
I will add for completeness that I have only mentioned violence upon women by men. This accounts for around 80% of DV. The rest is either same sex violence or women upon men.
