That story of children abusers having a hard time in jail is very true. Mr Criminal
may be a criminal but they draw the line at child abuse and look down on the
abuser. I was tempted to say they look down from behind on the abuser but I
am sure you get my drift. Child abusers are not exactly respected.
Do you know in law there is only two circumstances where a husband and a wife
may be forced to testify against each other? One is child abuse and the other
treason (high or low - does not matter). That is how serious the law takes child
abuse. In all other matters the spouse can legally refuse to testify against
another spouse and there is just nothing the court can do about it. Obviously it
is to protect the marriage and they must actually still be married for this rule to
apply. I am sure some men married for this very reason but if it is a sham
marriage it may theoretically be overturned though I never heard of that
actually happening.
All medical doctors and Policemen must report child abuse and act on it. They
have no choice and will not take any excuse for they heard all the nonsense
before. Let me quote to you from my book Mean Streets - Life in the Apartheid
Police: "I heard of policemen who are refused permission to attend certain crime
scenes. One in particular, a big six foot plus sergeant once took the same
sjambok (whip in American) with which the suspect lashed his wife and children
and proceeded to flog the flogger until he begged for mercy so to speak with it.
Hence he was always denied permission to attend such scenes and I understand
the flogger could not walk properly for months. He also wet his pants for some
reason but that is common during judicial floggings. As you know I do not like
judicial floggings and the one above was not judicial but in such circumstances
thoroughly deserved. Child and women abusers do not have a psychological
problem as the long haired liberals seem to think. No sir, they are cowards and
need re-education in the most painful way. I bet that fellow never lashed anyone
again in his life and if so the sergeant cured him. He should be grateful. I do not
expect the long haired liberals to agree and you know what I give too. I saw the
movie and enjoyed it."
On alternative lifestyles, I once saw a contract on this type of thing (some call it
a spanking agreement) which a client wisely brought me to look at and he found
