Captain Dunsel
Airman 1st Class
I was abused when I was a youngster, by a close adult female relative and her boyfriend. That betrayed relationship nearly destroyed me. I thank God that he guided me to meet and win my wonderful wife.
She's known the facts since long before we were married, but stood by my side when I needed her and has helped me keep my sanity all these years (I'm 55, and I've been married to her for over 33 years).
I sympathize with those kids, especially the ones abused by close family members. It's a horrible betrayal of trust and love, but I still can't bring myself to want the abuser summarily executed. Punished, yes, but not executed. They're sick, very sick, and they need to be prevented from destroying any more young lives, but I don't believe we have the right to kill them. I do pray for my abusers, pretty much daily.
