Law must act on rapists or else we will

I just cannot believe how the number of rapes has escalated. It drives me mad every time I read in a newspaper that a women as old as 60 or a child as young as three years has been raped.

What happened to respecting the young and the old? We have totally lost it.

I am a rape victim, raped by the very person who was supposed to protect me, my father.

The law must take its course because rapists roam the streets as if nothing has happened. How do they deal with their conscience? Either authorities bring back the death sentence or we will kill rapists ourselves. I'll take the law into my own hands because I can't sit by and do nothing.
