As I haven't commented on before and posted articles about I feel as if crimes against child such as child abuse and sexual crimes should hold a heavier penalty. With the previous felony the man's sentencing was doubled to up to 15 years meaning the maximum sentencing was for about 7 or 8 years. This means that this people get a second chance to be out and around kids because who knows if the man will get a position after jail time to work with kids which gives him the opportunity to do more harm to children.
The article is not the full article that was available in the area newspaper but feel free to add comments on this situation.

I feel very strongly about all general forms of abuse. It is very hard to believe that people charged with felonies regarding any form of abuse, especially child abuse, have and get such a short jail sentence. It is very scary and unsettling that this man is only being charged 7 to 8 years for this charge. There are people in jail doing time for actions that aren't anything close to abuse, not even close to this story, and they are being sentenced for longer than this guy. I don't get it. I wish this guy would have gotten a longer sentence. Its a shame...
