Buffalo Boy's Blog

Cara Dickey today got away with a perverbial slap on the wrist in my book. The judge must have been smoking some mighty fine dope before sentencing her in her case. The relationship she had with a 14 year old boy nearly had them both committing suicide, not to mention the emotional scars that this boy faces after having sex with her on more than one occasion.

The statements made today by Dickey were those of a sick and emotionally damaged woman who shouldn't see the light of day for a lot longer than the four years the judge handed down. Also she will not be allowed to teach in NY State again but what about the other 49?

Why are judges so lenient in cases like this? Its a problem that continually comes up where judges let child molesters/abusers get away with minimal prison sentences. Granted after they get out there life is a living nightmare should they even attempt to re-enter society in any sort of functional way, but really can we trust someone like Dickey ever again?

Having any sympathy for her just because she is female is totally sexist, this is no better than a male in the same situation with a girl or boy. If it were a guy to be fair, the judge would have probably been just as lenient though and that to me is a mystery, but for some reason I detect a bit of "I feel sorry for her" coming eventually whether its from the media or from some other outlet.

She deserves no remorse in this, she deserves no sympathy what so ever. She did this to herself, she did this to her family and most importantly, she ruined some other kid and his family and put them through hell for selfish reasons. The judge in this case should be ashamed for not slapping her with a longer sentence. The judge called her acts dispicable and she deserved a sentence to match her actions....four years hardly matches what she did.
