a lot of things upset me, hurt my child and God help anyone in my way.

I also feel this way about crime against the elderly, and animals.
so I guess I speak from a mothers point of view. |
Makes perfect sense to me TP. |
We can agree on this. |

Exactly. And, to think of it another way, so is the person who put him in the coma. Or the person who abuses children. They were all children at one point and had mothers who loved them (presumably).
It's just a question of how far your empathy can extend, really. Do you think having a child will make me more or less empathetic?

The impression one often gets is that there's a good chance it will make you more parochial, selfish, narrow-minded and ignorant! But it might just make you time poor, meaning you have less opportunity to learn about the world beyond your immediate duties, leading you to rely more on TV chatter and grandma's stories than serious knowledge.

There's probably a lot of research on that topic out there somewhere.

I $£$%^%%$ hope so
I'm a good mum, my kids just , well they CARE. They couldn't do that.
David, make no mistake, I would die for my kids, I ran in front of a car heading for my daughter (idiot husband chasing poodle, daughter 3, chasing him) without a seconds thought
David, my father is a seriously abusive man, mentally, physically, thankfully, not sexually, I'm a great mum I don't know weather it's because of or in spite of, but my kids, they are me, I just cannot imagine them hurting
When junior went down on Monday with a maybe broken wrist, OMG, how I did not cry I don't know, it broke my heart, she was howling, I'm the coach, I think I've cried over everyone of those kids, all the kids I've coached, why am I like this? Why do I have empathy for all those kids? You've seen the comments of my best friend on Facebook, I cry for her kids. I run to them when they go over, she doesn't! Is empathy a failing, or is it a blessing. I hurt. But that's ok. I'd rather feel, than not feel. In the end, my mum didn't feel. Pain was good for her because it was better than feeling nothing. That's so sad. I'm a roller coaster, I know that, and that's ok.
I hope, one day, you get that, I reckon your a good kid. Nothing is better than those Higgs, but you have to have the lows to appreciate it.

50ks over limit, expired passport, unregistered car. Of course he'd get bail.   That's ridiculous. |

Just one example....
The prisoner is serving a one year and eight month term of imprisonment for one
count of indecent dealings with a child under 13 and one count of indecently dealt
with a lineal relative or defacto child under the age of 16 years old.
On 21 April 2016, the Prisoners Review Board (the Board) considered
the prisoner’s application for parole. In making this decision the Board took into
account the release considerations contained in s5A of the Sentence Administration
Act 2003 (WA) giving paramount consideration to the safety of the community. The
Board decided that the prisoner’s release would not present an unacceptable risk to
the safety of the community due to: His completion of the Sex Offender Deniers Program with reported gains in
addressing most of his identified treatment needs. He has been assessed as
being at low risk of re-offending in a similar manner.
Pro-social family and community support with confirmed suitable
accommodation.
The deterrent effect of the first term of imprisonment and first opportunity for
parole.
The conditions of parole will further reduce the risk to the safety of the
community.
The 30th one on the list.
20 month term for the rock spider AND he gets let out early
