People without any prior criminal record are getting up to a life sentence in prison without the possibility of parole, i.e. Florida man, Daniel Enrique Guevara Vilca 26, for viewing child pornography, these people have shown no threat to anyone, never participated in any harmful action against children and yet are getting sentences far worse then if they molested children. In some ways the penalties have increased over 1000% in the past decade. Go after the people actually abusing children. I don't condone it and it should be illegal but let's give reasonable sentences for child pornography.
Dear Mr. President,
Please, let's fix the priorities in out "justice" system. It is worse to view or download child porn than to molest or assault a child. REALLY
