A cop friend told me this. I actually did not research the topic. Perhaps you are right. Nevertheless, this should be one of those crimes that.....one strike and your out. Why take chances with these sick fucks and peoples children. Let it be known. Touch a child. Get the chair. Period. But no, this country has too many bleeding hearts. I couldnt begin to tell you what i would do to someone if they were to touch a single hair on one of my children. I dont give 2 hoots about the laws. Time glady and willingly served.

Then your cop friend need a refresher course.
Your hard stance is a bit off the charts, especially when you look into stories like this;

Allegations of ritual abuse during the 1990s:
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan is near the center of the heavily populated southern area of the Province of Saskatchewan. It is located some 186 miles (300 km) north of the states of Montana and North Dakota in the U.S.
During the 1990s, as the North American Satanic Ritual Abuse scare was winding down, two allegations of SRA materialized in the province. The other one was in Martensville, a small town just north of Saskatoon, and involved the Stirling family.
In 1987, three foster children under the age of 10 -- one boy and his younger twin sisters -- were placed in a single Saskatoon foster home. Michael Ross was found to have been sexually abusive to his younger sister, Michelle. He was removed from the family in 1989-SEP, and placed in a new foster home, headed by Lyle and Marilyn Thompson. Shortly after being relocated, he started to tell his new foster parents of bizarre child-adult orgies, baby sacrifice, ritual abuse, and bestiality against a group of 13 adults. He accused his former foster parents Dale and Anita Klassen, as well as Richard Klassen, Dale's brother, his birth parents, and others. 6 His tales were confirmed at the time by his sisters, who were moved into the Thompson home in 1990-MAY. Corporal Brian Dueck of the Saskatoon Police Service investigated the allegations and brought his findings to senior Crown prosecutor Terry Hinz. Hinz refused to have the adults charged because he felt that the police investigation was incomplete. The file was later picked up by Crown prosecutors Sonja Hansen and Matthew Miazga who proceeded with the case.
On 1991-JUL-10, Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) officers arrested Kari and Richard Klassen in Red Deer, Alberta. Their three children -- aged six months, two years and eight years -- were seized and placed in temporary care. The Klassens were charged with sexually abusing the three foster children. The children had stated that the Klassens and many other adults had forced them to consume blood, drink urine, and eat human eyeballs and feces. They were compelled to eat a neighbor's newborn baby who had been skinned, barbecued in the backyard, and buried. No body was ever found. They were forced to engage in sexual acts with both dogs and flying bats. Eventually, 16 adults were arrested and charged with over 70 counts of sexual assault, incest and gross indecency. Terry Hinz studied the file and found that there was no new information added since he had reviewed the case. One of the accused, Pamela Shetterly, said: "I thought these stories could well and easily....be sorted out. I thought there are ways to prove such things, and to me it would only be a matter of recourse once we were in the justice system.'' 3
In a curious twist, on the eve of their trial in 1993-FEB, Klassen's father, Peter, agreed to plead guilty. He already had a previous conviction from years earlier for abusing children. In exchange for his guilty plea in this case, charges against all but three of the other adults were dropped. Peter Klassen said "I was under pressure. I felt I had no alternative. I figured I'd take the fall and relieve (the other adults) of this." He spent four years in jail.
The charges against 12 of the 16 adults were stayed. The children's birth parents, Don Ross and Helen Ross, and their mother's 68 year old boyfriend, Don White, were tried and found guilty. Dr George Fraser testified as an expert witness on Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA) and Ritual Abuse (RA). He was allegedly a specialist in Recovered Memory Therapy (RMT) and Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) at that time, and headed the Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) unit at the Royal Ottawa Hospital, in Ottawa, ON. At the time of the trial, Dr Fraser and many other members of the International Society for the Study of Multiple Personality and Dissociation (ISSD) believed that MPD was often caused by Satanic, sadistic or ritual abuse to young children. The three defendants were found guilty. The boyfriend took polygraph test at the time which allegedly raised serious doubts about the circumstances surrounding the conviction. His conviction was later overturned by the Supreme Court of Canada in 1996. Retrials of the birth parents are ordered. The Crown did not proceed with the retrials, claiming that the children would be excessively traumatized by the experience.
The Klassens were harassed frequently. Rocks were thrown through their windows more than once. Someone broke into their home and painted graffiti on their cupboards and walls.
Richard Klassen started a decade-long battle to clear his name and those of the other adults who had been implicated. He put up posters in downtown Saskatoon. He staged a protest in front of the local courthouse. Police charged Klassen with defamatory libel in 1994. He defended himself in court and was found not guilty.
A decade after the alleged crimes, the children who accused the Klassens and other adults have become young adults in their 20's. They have all stated publicly that they lied to investigators, and that they had admitted this early in the investigation. They have also claimed that the prosecutors have known the truth: that there was no Satanic cult; there was no ritual abuse. The only abuse was by the 11-year old boy who had victimized his twin sisters.
According to recently filed court documents, one Crown prosecutor had "lost faith" in the children's stories, while another flatly stated charges should not be laid. Another document states that evidence was withheld from the defense. Still another shows that the lead police investigator felt he was being rushed in his investigation. It is reasonable to assume that government officials will do anything they can to avoid a public inquiry.
On 2000-NOV-29, following an investigative article in the Star Phoenix newspaper, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) program Fifth Estate broadcast Klassen's story to a national audience.
Klassen's case, often called the "Foster Child Case," and the "Scandal of the Century," is almost identical to the "Martensville Nightmare." In both instances, dozens of charges were laid; Satanic Ritual Abuse was believed to be involved. There was no physical evidence of abuse. The alleged abuse also happened in the early 1990s when hysteria over abusive Satanists was at its peak. A key difference is that in the Klassen case, the three children who made the allegations of abuse subsequently admitted that they were lying.
You may not remember the case, but I sure do.
