September 5, 2009, 12:35am (report abuse)at have you done to protect any one? I haven't witnessed anything as of protection other than for the Rapist, Murders and Drug dealers. Oh, I am sorry we are discussing this real live issue that only you and you alone allow these child molesters to walk our streets. Rape our children and give them amnesty. Go figure. Need to reasses your education.
