Disappointing Justice System

I am seriously disappointed in this country's justice system. I was just watching E Investigates and two teenagers were kidnapped and forced into prostitution. Their kidnappers only received 5, 6 1/2 and 8 years in prison. HOW???? It is so frustrating to know that if someone kidnaps my child, cross state lines AND force them into prostitution and be out in less than 10 years. Again, I say....HOW???? Do these children have to be murdered before true justice is served? There is something seriously wrong with this country's justice system's priorities! Most, if not all of the time, a rapist can be back in society in less than 10 years. A peeper can get a slap on the wrist. Ya, there's a great idea. Slap a peeper on the wrist so then they can be back on the streets peeping and then eventually escalate into rape and possibly even rape/murder. Isn't it the people of this country's job to keep each other safe from these monsters? Shouldn't the people of this country try their hardest to change the punishments of criminals? Do we really need to wait until someone gets killed before we decide to take action?

Someday I hope to be able to make a difference in this society. I cannot stand the fact that criminals get a slap on the wrist. Why should victims of these monsters have to live in fear their entire lives because their predators are allowed back on the streets after 2, 3, 5, or 10 years? The victims have done nothing wrong. Why are the victims being punished? That is what this justice system does, punishes the victims!

Does anyone else feel completely disgusted too? What can we do as law abiding citizens to help the victims?
