"You have a divine animal right to protect your own life and the life of your offspring." - "Enough" 2002, (courtesy of IMDb).
Why is this important?
It's despicable... children are harmed and/or sexually abused, and when a parent steps up to protect his/her child by ANY means necessary, like a mother bear or ANY animal would, they are charged with serious crimes. True, the perpetrators are also charged, but the parents who step up get the more serious charges. The harmed children are then left without a parent, especially in a time when they are most vulnerable and need them most. The perpetrators of those disgusting crimes against children deserve the "punishment" the protective parents dealt them, and then some.
I propose we create a law that would guarantee freedom for moms/dads in prison who stepped up to protect their babies from these despicable monsters, after careful consideration of their case in a court of law, and the perpetrators of crimes harming/abusing children will be kept in prison on top of the "punishments" received by the protective parents if the abuse is discovered. Keep the REAL criminals in prison and let these parents be with their children that need them!
