You cant watch your children enough in todays world. I would suggest ANYONE with children check out Megans Law to be aware of what and who are around your children. Its not foolproof but its a start and every little bit helps.
I agree with all of you. I only have one child and he is my life. I don't know what I would do should anything happen to him.
I don't know about the death penalty here in CA, seems like nothing worse than just "doing time" they sit around and get treated pretty well for someone who commited a crime severe enough to be sentenced to death. I hate that CA just lets them sit around forever and ever. I know some states are much quicker than ours but man, why are we so slow about it?
