However, branding these child torturers as scumbags and margilising them is the very least they deserve. Long drop, short rope gets my vote for this type of crime. (I also like YC's blow-torch idea, but then we stoop to their level)

Violence can't solve violence, I wish it was that simple.
Apathy can's solve it either though . . . .
wish the answer was simpler but it always comes back to the upbringing of those involved and more often than not the role models they had or have.
they have outlawed smacking kids these days but unless you are supernanny its difficult to discipline some kids without. I was quite unruly as a boy and was always pushing the boundary to see what i could get away with. Smacking to me meant i had overstepped it. Simple. Diddn't happen often but i learned.
Im proud to say i have personally never resorted to physical violence in any situation so it didn't make me a violent person.
Some children though have terrible upbringings and this moulds them into terrible adults and parents. This is the root cause, This is what needs adressed. Its too late to punish them after the act, normal people dont think "ill not beat that child up, i might get hung" they just dont think about it at all. . . .
