You can read the full story here, but the short version is this child molester killed a ten year old (“Katie”), and while imprisoned, relatives of hers got their hands on him and tattooed some of their pain onto his head. Not that it should be enjoyable, but he’s definitely not going to be enjoying his time in jail. The sad part is that now if he’s killed in prison, his family could have a winning lawsuit against Katie’s family. (Thanks to Tolley for the tip.)

Yeah, I don’t know too much about the legal system in the US, but here you rape and murder a child… then get 3 years in a prison with a choice of flavoured water every hour. In principle I don’t agree with vigilante justice, but in cases like this it’s necessary.
There is a BIG difference between finding children sexually attractive and committing a sexual act with one. Most men do feel like that towards a child at some point; and all of them that deserve to live are totally disgusted with themselves, and could not even imagine hurting an innocent child that badly.
In a justice system that releases and re-releases people like this man, I can really see no choice but to mark them in a similar fashion.

Well, I’ve seen the light now. Lets pay for his tattoo removal, so when he gets out his next victim will have no idea what he has in store for them.
Serious sex offenders can’t be rehabilitated and tax payers shouldn’t have to pay to clothe and feed them. Call me an insensitive animal. At least I don’t kill children.

To the people who said this doesn’t fix anything, or bring the little girl back, you are right, but since hes got this tattoo and its been on the news everyones going to know who he is when he gets out, thats going to make it a hell of alot harder to do this to another little girl or boy. So you never know, this could have saved someone, if its a real tattoo of course.

To the number 41 respondent. You are an obvious democrat who wants society to claim an amount of responsibility for someone’s actions. True enough, if he has mental issues then his FAMILY should have taken care of him, NOT society. The idea that I somehow need to offer-up ANYTHING to “help” this guy seems ludicrous to me.
Good for those inmates who found this creative, expressive way of handling this guy. They didn’t kill him – as some here have said they should have – but they chose simply to expose him in a way that might protect other’s following his release; God forbid.
Seems our liberal court system can’t take care of these issues so I guess a few reformed individual’s on the “inside” provided their time and effort to perform thier part in abating any further abusive actions by this guy.
God Bless America – and know that responsibility is ours, this guy was not found to be insane. He is guilty – PERIOD!!
BTW – NICE TAT BUDDY!!

i can’t believe some people have mercy with this guy.
no matter if it brings back the little girl or not – he should be punished for the rest of his miserable life.
to all those (sexually) abused people here: i’m sorry, if you were too weak to revenge yourself or that there was nobody that did this for you… or at least someone that took care.
of course there should be laws, but can’t you imagine how bad it must be to lose the most beloved person in your life?!
i know that it is sometimes hard to love yourself or care about your own body or soul the way you do for others.. but really, don’t you think this little innoncent child should have been saved? even if you haven’t been?
i’m sorry that you don’t feel the urge to hurt pedos or murderer. i do. that has nothing to do with being an animal or an aggressive person. it’s just fair. yes, i really said fair.
i think you should have the right to hurt this person like they’ve hurt you or your relatives in cases like this.
âWhile weâre at it, letâs also tag everyone whoâs been done for assault. And homosexuals. And foreignersâ?
sorry, but that isn’t the same. in absolutely none way. homosexuals don’t rape boys and lesbians don’t rape girls. but pedos and murderer ruin other persons lifes. can’t you see the difference? there can be drawn a line.

I understand your anger, but a couple of things really bother me about your post Sara.
I find it a tad offensive to suggest anybody who has been abused is “too weak to revenge” themselves if they don’t act on vigilante urges. NO victim of sexual abuse brings on the abuse themselves, and no victim should be blamed for the shortcomings of the justice system if the courts fail them. I’d rather encourage victims to have the strength to face the abuse and overcome it.
The second thing that bothers me is the phrase “you should have the right to hurt this person like they’ve hurt you or your relatives” The problem with promoting this idea of vengeance is that the victim doesn’t always go on to hurt the person who hurt them. If they can’t get the help they need, If they choose to lash out, they may pick someone weaker, someone they can overpower like a child for example and the abuse becomes a cycle.
I want to see an end to abuse as a cycle. Sorry if that sounds like pacifist bullshit. If people only targeted the the ones who actually hurt them, I can’t say for sure if I’d be 100% against it.

hey anonymous,
i don’t see any other opinions in your post than mine. of course, the cycle of all this abusing shit should be broken.
it’s okay, when victims just want to get over all the cruel things that happened in their lives and don’t want to revenge themselves.
i don’t think everyone that doesn’t have the urge to act their pain out against the criminal is “too weak”, sorry if didn’t pointed that out too well.
and i’d never blame victims for the shortcomings of the justice, never. i think the society shouldn’t look away when crimes happen, though the most people do look away constantly. (okay, i don’t know if i would do the “right” things in such a situation, thank god i’ve never had to decide yet. nobody is the perfect person, mistakes just happen. but i think when children get to the hospital all beaten up the nurses should do something about it.. other than just vet the obvious wounds and say it’s the problem of “society” and not theirs.)
of course the victims should get help. i don’t say “beat the fucker that did this to you and then get over it yourself”. and of course people who feel attracted to little kids should get help as well before they even touch them. but as soon as they abuse children they’re not worth to lead a comfortable life anmore.

That’s fair. Sorry Sara, your post was the last one I read and some of your choice of wording puzzled me a bit. I just wanted clarification. I agree with everything you said in post 59.

Sara, I’m a bit stunned at what you said about people being abused being too weak to fight back
Do you realise that there’s a lot of children who can’t fight back because they were frightened, or didn’t realise just how serious it is? If your abuser is still around after he attacked you (and mine was) what do you think would happen if they told and there was no way anybody could prove it? It would have continued, ofen getting worse because the child dared to fight back
As for saying that we feel we can’t hurt who hurt us, erm, yes we can. If I see my attacker again I can’t tell what I’d do. It’s been over a decade now and my family still don’t know it happened – they knew of some of the other things this man did – but not what happened to me
I wish that I could give my attacker a hard merciless blow for every time I’ve though about it. I wish I’d spoken up about it, but that’s the choice I’ve made and regardless of how I feel about it, that’s what I’ve got to live with
I don’t condone to death penalty, and as sick as this evil man is, doing this won’t bring Katie back. Nothing will. But I think he should suffer the rest of his life in jail and that’s obviousl what’s going to happen
It’s not as if i’s that obvious. Unless somebody know shim and what he did, they’re just going to think upon encountering him for the first time: ‘Oh, he’s just some knobhead with a girl’s name tattooed on his forehead….’
But I back up what I say: it serves him right. Karma came back to kick his ass hard on that one, like it always does to sickos like him
I’ve read your post responding to Anonymous, thank you for clearing it up, just need to be careful about clarity in a debate of something serious like this 🙂

Someone mentioned that the Sex Offender Registry is a form of branding people for these crimes, and in a way I agree with that. However many people don’t even know about the registry and many of those people have children. I think that when someone commits a crime like this it should be very publicly known. It should not be left to chance that people encountering a sex offender will have seen the registry and know that the person is not safe to have around their children. I don’t think that tattoos are the right way to go about it, but I think its a lot better than the system we have now. This tattoo may use the word revenge, but I don’t think the revenge is the violent one you are all speaking of. I think the revenge is his knowing that everyone he encounters for the rest of his life will know what he has done and he will truely have to live with the consequences of his crime, much moreso than if he had just spent some time in prison.

he deserves it. i dont support drug offences that much but depends on how the trafficker forces a kid into hard drugs that im against but pedophiles. imagine you were the victim. he had no mercy on a young kid he deserves more punishment. they should give him mercy either

Reading all about this has made me very upset, and I wish I’d just had the strength to fight back, to show two thoroughly selfish parents someting else was wrong. I was so consumed by a horrendous man like that I couldn’t. They still to his day don’t know what happened to me by my nonce of a teacher, and I can’t tell them because they just don’t believe me, because I was determined to act normal and pretend nothing was wrong – I pretended so well that they wouldnt believe me now, and asides from on the net, I just cannot share the pain and misery caused
I hope no other child has to go through this, and had I just told somebody what was happening the bastard who abused me wouldnt still be walking the streets
I hope this nonce gets a good reminder of what he did by looking at the mirror every day. I have become a sad, bitter and angry person, and although I blame myself for not being strong and fighting back, I also blame the man who stole my innocence, happiness and childhood away from me, much like this bastard stole Katie’s childhood and innocence, and ultimately her life.
It took me a while to get up the urge to post so candidly, but I feel in my heart that if you do things like this, you are evil and men who are just as evil in a different way will make you pay for it
I hope this son of a bitch feels some kind of remorse someday and understand the true pain he’s caused this girl’s family, and I hope this tattoo helps that. It serves him right – he bloody asked for that!

Iv’e seen something silimilar in a movie once and all I could think was “EXACTLY.”
If I could I’d catch every rapist/molester/whatever and just carve the words into his forehead, no tattoo, just a big ass scar that reads “RAPIST”, to make him as ugly on the outside as a girl who was raped feels on the inside.

no arguments about the gravity of the crime – but there is no punishment for what this man did. there is no redress. it is entirely irrevocable, entirely unfixable. tattooing it on his forehead will not make him feel guilty – only aggrieved. guilt has to come from some other place. he may never feel it. he may never understand. he may always be able to justify it to himself.
tattoing it on his forehead might help you express moral outrage but it doesnt achieve anything. all we can do as a community is protect ourselves and prevent him from being able to do this to another child. sad but true. lock him away, or put him down. ..neither is a very good option but all we have.
if only someone could come up with a way of helping these people before they commit crimes… but is it hardwired.. or learned behaviour????

i think they could have done alot worse. how is the murder of your ten year old daughter put right just by scribbling something on the blokes head?

Hey! I know what’s fun! How about your daughter gets fucked and murdered by some sick fuck and not only is the America justice system so messed up that a monster like this could go unpunished or only jailed for 10 years, but like Shannon said, his freakin’ family could sue for the tat!
EVEN BETTER some doctor is removing the tat for FREE. No, this isn’t a Mad Max world, but it is one of Man. And, less we forget, man is an animal. There are certain primal instincts which man is training himself to ignore. Why? Because he thinks it makes himself “better”. If someone ever touched my daughter, just touched her, there isn’t much a cop could do to keep me from him. Let them arrest me. I’ll get out, just like the real criminals do. Everyone in America (and I am an American) is so hung up on POLITICAL CORRECTNESS that we forget how henious the crime really is.
No death penalty? Yeah, that little girl experieced “No Death Penalty” and I am sure she would be real proud of people standing up for that mans right to live. Yes, we all die sometime, Cupcake. I get it, but it was not that little girls time to go. I beileve that if you intentionally forfiet someone else’s right to life, you forfiet your own. Try explaining Judical process and Right to Live to a recently bereaved parent.
Besides, Are you going to be the one that has to live next to this guy when he’s out?

I have a registered child molester living down the street from me and one day (while back) he started hanging out around my house when he knew no one was home but me. Then I started finding beer cans and food wrappers in the far corner of my backyard. Then he started talking to me, commenting on how well endowed my chest was and how I should come hang out sometime. Then he started knocking on my door at all hours of the night. Pretty soon, my FAMILY that I live with started finding broken chips off our outside doors, like someone had tried to break in. At the time I was 19 years old. This man had a little girls braclet on his wrist everytime he came up to me to “flirt”. I called the cops but they said there was nothing I could do until he actually did something illegal.
I wouldn’t tattoo the mother fucker. I’d kill him.

i’m surprised more of this isn’t publicized… things like this happen more often than what the public know about… i work in the system and have seen some shit first hand that has yet to be made public… hopefully his family sees nothing out of what happened… financially i mean…

I hope this is for real and that the girl’s family get away with it, as a survivor of child abuse I believe these people should be punished permanantly, by life imprisonment with no reprieve, I wouldn’t agree with the death penalty, they should live and suffer the consequences.
Abusers are the worst scum.
