Harsher terms
THE victim of rape in our beautiful Fiji was a nine-month-old baby.
What is happening? Where are we going wrong?
People are venting off their anger by discussing the option of harsher punishment, castrating the perpetrator, leaving a permanent and very visible mark on the perpetrator so that others know what that person has done.
I, for one, think that harsher sentencing needs to be considered.
The perpetrator goes to jail, has a roof over his/her head, receives meals on time and comes out of prison after the sentence is over.
Maybe if we fed them twice only, gave them a sheet to sleep on the floor and whipped them at least twice in a day the statistics might change.
Yes, I too am venting my anger but something needs to be done at the earliest possible because these numbers are skyrocketing and the promising future of many are being destroyed.
