But that has no relation whatsoever as to why we punish.

Sorry, I was responding more to the question of deserving it or is it revenge. I certainly hope it is NOT revenge in our hearts we wish for.

Perhaps. But wasn't revenge part of the justice system of the OT?

Re: Kidnapped girl resurfaces 18 years later
The big break in the case came Tuesday when campus cop Allison Jacobs spotted Garrido and the two young girls at the University of California, Berkeley.
Garrido was passing out religious literature without permission at the university's famed Sather Gate, the scene of student protests in the 1960s. When Jacobs ran a background check on Garrido, she learned he was a registered sex offender on lifetime federal parole for a 1971 kidnapping and rape.
Jacobs contacted Garrido's parole officer, who called the convict in for a meeting Wednesday.
Garrido showed up to meet his parole officer with his wife, the two girls he fathered, and a woman named Allissa - who turned out to be Jaycee.

Why ponder that? Jesus came to save and Jesus is love. If we are to be like Him, we won't ever want revenge. If we are like Jesus, we will love our enemies.

Damon Robinson, 38, said he knew Garrido had girls living in his backyard and raised the red flag to sheriff's deputies over two years ago.
"I put it in the police's hands. What else could I do," said Robinson, adding the deputies investigated his complaint, but nothing changed.
You have to wonder did the police even investigate after it being reported???

So we should set murderers and rapist free? Asking why we punish and how we punish is an important question. I doubt you really think that people shouldn't be punished.

Is is safe to assume that he showed up with everyone so that he would be excused from being with kids because they are his kids? I understand he took his kids to work with him, that is interesting. Why have them live in the backyard if he didn't mind taking them to work?
Oh well, lots of questions but the answers are none of my business.

Have them move in with you, and have a court order that you would have to support them (with your own money) until they are rehabilitated.

Better yet have them read your posts on AFF for a week straight, that would be punishment enough for anyone.
