Depo-Provera

Chemical Castration for Sexual Offenders

Target:
Women's Rights, Laws
Sponsored by: 

There is a drug called Depo-Provera that acts as a %u201Cchemical castration%u201D on men. Six states have already experimented with using this drug as a form of therapy for sexual offenders, most notably pedophiles. In California, it may be used as the form of treatment in a first offense. It%u2019s not permanent; taking the pills daily is necessary in order for it to work. However, that can be considered a good thing because the drugs detractors have less clout with a %u2018cruel and unusual punishment%u2019 case, as they would with physical castration. I believe that this is a very necessary form of treatment for sexual offenders and is a humane way to prevent these people from becoming multiple offenders. Also, sexual offenders would otherwise only get a few years in jail, depending on the severity of the case. Many agree that the only way, other than castration, to prevent sexual offenders from becoming repeat offenders (including the offenders themselves) would be to imprison them for life. This drug is an answer to that that would make those people happy and would meet the requirements of therapy for law officials. It%u2019s an important issue and this petition is for all states to begin using this form of treatment, and to hopefully eventually spread it around the world.

As a mother of two small daughters that I refuse to let them become another statistic. This therapy is essential in protecting our children from this ever growing epidemic of these monsters lurking amongst us. This is a very useful tool along with rehabilitation to greatly reduce the rate of future offenses! Please consider all the innocent children that can stay that way by making this mandatory for someone that already has broken the law!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't inflict "cruel or unusual punishment" on these people, although it should be, for hurting another person in the manner that they have done can be considered cruel and unusual. Just give them D.P.

I wish my mother Emily Ann Parry of Bellport, N.Y. was against pedophiles instead of marrying one named Charles Martin Parry. Emily Ann Parry is a very sick and twisted Drug Addict(addicted to Excedrin)who needs extensive therapy. I pray that she gets the help she needs! Mother's like her are very cold, calculated, manipulative and back-stabbing.~~~~~~~Sincerely & Respectfully, Ms. Victoria Mary Stong(a FOREVER alcohol-free, smoke-free & drug-free woman!)/ Humanitarian, 9/11 Family Member, Former Volunteer 1st Responder & Ground Zero Worker, F.D.N.Y. Flag Lady, Peacemaker, R&B/Pop/Soul/Soft Rock Singer, Civil Rights, Animal Rights & Community Activist-L.I.C., N.Y., U.S.A. / *******THIS IS A PICTURE OF PEDOPHILE CHARLES MARTIN PARRY WHO LIVES AT 12 GOLF COURSE ROAD, BELLPORT, N.Y. 11713-2322(631)286-0341. MY ALCOHOLIC AND DRUG-ADDICTED MOTHER EMILY PARRY PUT ME IN THE STREET AFTER I REPORTED HIS PEDOPHILIA TO HER AND HE TOLD HER IN RETALIATION "EITHER SHE GOES OR I GO". GUESS WHO SHE CHOSE? YOU GOT IT................HER PEDOPHILE HUSBAND OVER HER 16 YEAR OLD CHILD! I REPORTED HIM AT 14 YEARS OLD INITIALLY. ADDING INSULT TO INJURY, SHE HAS SUCCEEDED TURNING MY VILLAGE OF BELLPORT AGAINST ME. EVEN WHEN I WAS A VICTIM OF A CRIME 5/20-21/1982, SHE HAD THE "HONEST"(LIARS BIGTIME)NEWSPAPER "THE LONG ISLAND ADVANCE" LIE ABOUT ME TO SAVE HER "REPUTATION AND IMAGE" SO SHE WOULDN'T LOSE HER JOB AT BELLPORT HIGH SCHOOL. IF THE COMMUNITY ONLY KNEW! SHE CONVINCED ME NOT TO PUT MY FULL NAME IN THE NEWSPAPER BECAUSE SHE KNOWS SHE WAS AT FAULT FOR PUTTING ME IN A BAD SITUATION THAT I BECAME A VICTIM OF A FELONY FOR. IF BELLPORT ONLY KNEW THE TRUTH, THEY WOULDN'T BE SO MEAN-SPIRITED AND DISRESPECTFUL TO ME. EMILY ANN PARRY, MY BIOLOGICAL MOTHER HAS DESTROYED ANY NICE RELATIONSHIPS I WORKED ON IN BELLPORT NEW YORK. IT'S HARD ENOUGH BEING VICTIMIZED AS A CHILD...................BUT ALL THE SEVERE DAMAGE SHE HAS DONE TO ME ALL MY LIFE IS UNBEARABLE! REMEMBER ONE THING WHEN YOU GET UPSET WITH SOMEONE................................THERE ARE A L W A Y S TWO SIDES TO EVERY STORY. DON'T MAKE A DETERMINATION OR DECISION UNTIL YOU'VE OPEN-MINDEDLY LISTENED TO BOTH PARTIES!!!!
