I see that writing about sex offenders has caused a stir, and for that I am grateful. It is a topic that we need to be discussing more and more. Here we go...

Watch this.

Sara Kruzan does not have a chance of getting out of prison. Not one chance. Explain to me how that is fair. A young, bright girl from an abusive home seeks refuge. She meets a father figure - someone who cares for her and wants to be in her life. Someone who takes her friends out roller-skating. Sounds like he's an angel from above.

Not really. G.G. (supposed angel man) groomed her for a life of prostitution. Sex trafficking. Using his "manhood," he would hurt to "break her in." He had control of all the girls and worked them through the dirtiest hours of the night into the morning. He then took their money. 

At 16-years-old, Sara killed her pimp.

I am not endorsing killing of any kind, however, if a criminal who claims he is the Devil is eligible for parole, we have a problem here.

Allow me to clarify. Charles Manson committed horrific murders, with the assistance of his cult, "The Family." They shot, stabbed, tortured, and killed, taking in the pleasure of it all. One account says on Manson's orders, "she gave Leno LaBianca 14 puncture wounds with an ivory-handled, two-tined carving fork, which she left jutting out of his stomach and planted a steak knife in his throat."

As disgusting as these charges are, I need you to take a moment and take in this fact: Charles Manson was in and subsequently released from prison three separate times BEFORE putting The Family together.

Manson was eventually sentenced to death but was relieved of this in 1972 when the California Supreme Court outlawed the death penalty (that's a whole other topic that gets me going).  Let's save that one.

For now, if you are in the law field, I need you to explain two things to me.

Part one: How can someone go from death penalty to eligible for parole? Manson has been eligible for parole several times now (11 times to date!) and is due for another hearing in 2012.

Part two: How can Manson have this much grace and the now 29-year-old, Sara Kruzan, not be given one momentary glimpse of hope?

She has learned what "scruples" meant. She was abused. She was a child. She defended herself. She has admitted to needing a form of punishment. Thirteen years later, shouldn't she be given grace? Shouldn't she be given the chance to contribute to the world and help make it a better place?

Why are abused, sex-trafficked children treated worse than serial killers like Charles Manson (who, let's repeat, calls himself the Devil)? Are you trying to tell me that sex offenders are worth more in their death than innocent pregnant women? They're not even an even playing ground? Let alone children's rights being... hmmm... a smidge of a fraction more?

According to the International Crisis Aid, every two minutes, a child is being prepared for sexual exploitation, and 1.2 million children are trafficked every year. As for the facts that require you to be sitting down...the average age of a trafficked victim is 14-years-old, and that victim is forced to have sex up to 40 times during one day!

California State Senator, Leland Yee, is fighting for the rights of the children facing life in prison. When speaking about Kruzan's case, he says, "She was sentenced to prison for the rest of her life, despite the California Youth Authority and a psychiatric evaluation determining that she was amendable to rehabilitation treatment offered in the juvenile system." Thank you for your efforts to change our system, Senator.
