18 Year old man rapes a 5 month old baby

Whatever anyone thinks of could never punish him enough that is where the questions lie how can you punish such a deed and remain above the perpetrator with your moral standards still intact. This thing, as he is not an animal even animals only harm or kill in self defence or for food or protection their basic needs, has no concept or right or wrong. Either that or he has every idea of what he was doing and thought he would get away with it due to his victims age, mentally and morally unballanced people are often more intelegent than anyone would give them credit for. I don't think the death penalty should be used, a better idea was said earlier use these individuals for medical research then at least a little good may come from their selfish disgusting existance.

Isn't it odd how people think people like this are worse than murderers. I've never understood that.

He's clearly a very sick and twisted individual and he needs to be kept from society but the baby will go on to live a normal life with no recollection of the event. Yet every day people murder other people - end their lives - some of it even gets posted on here, and it never ever gets the reaction the peado threads do.

I wonder why :confused:

Theres a lot more things worse than death im afraid:(
 
I haven't read every post but omg that poor baby, God knows what damage he has done internally, she's five months old, he may have damaged her for life, physically and she will have to be told when older because some one else will! the family will have to live through it all again, as she trys to come to terms with it.

I can't even describe my thoughts on him.

She shouldn't be told imho and this shouldn't have even been reported.

Ideally, as soon as the perpetrator was convicted, he along with his crime should have been swiftly destroyed and erased from history.

The welfare of the victim should always be above anything else in such circumstances.

Just making sure we quickly left behind the details of the story and got straight to the "HANG HIM!" vs "DON'T HANG HIM!" nonsense.

Well in fairness what do you expect from the thread otherwise? A first response of "that's sick and twisted" or similar is about all that needs to be said, if people don't start commenting on matters tangenital to the original story (death penalty/mental illness leading to the rape etc) it becomes simply a PC+1 effort of "I agree with the first comment".

I haven't read any of the posts but just to set my mind at rest, this thread quickly degenerated into the predictable OCUK death penalty "debate" didn't it?

Sure did. And that's all he deserves. In fact he deserves torture for the rest of his life. Death is the easy way out.

I agree with this comment :)
 
I feel sick after reading that :(

At least the child should be too young to remember the experience. The perpetrator needs help - nobody of sane mind would do that.
 
I'm quite disturbed by some of the reactions to this, not only here but around the web in general.

From what I can ascertain the police have held, on remand, a 18 year old on suspicion of the crime. He hasn't been to trial, and the facts of the case aren't known. Yet everyone is quick to vilify him and call for execution/torture. Again, from what I can ascertain, it was this person in question who actually called for paramedics after he found the child choking.

There appears to be no doubt at this stage, that this child was abused in some way, as the injuries are described as having been caused by "trauma". I have no doubt that whomever perpetrated this act deserves to face the full penalty of the law, but I just can't get my head around the way that this "Scott Wade Smith" has been tried and sentenced by the genral public in the absence of any evidence.

I suppose it's because any crime against a child is whipped into a frenzy by the media. In fact some of the news stories posted on the web are embellishing the truth so much that it is hard to get to the known facts. For example one article cites Smith as having used a condom to disguise DNA evidence. In actual fact all that is known is that a used condom was found amongst Smith's belongings - there is nothing at this time to suggest that it was used by him, or on the infant.

I recognise that there may well be "no smoke without fire", but when emotions run as high as they do when children are involved in any crime, I think it is wise to sit back and review the facts before continuing the moral crusade.
